A necklace for Princess Amelia

Z and I set to work on a homemade gift for our little friend Amelia's 3rd birthday.

I set Z up with a tub of soapy water in the sink of my studio and she began felting the beads after I lightly needled them into shape.

Once they were prepared I helped her finish up with the felting.

Soapy little finished beads or as he worked she called them fish and they did a lot of swimming with their family in the tub of water.


Once they were rinsed and dried, I needle felted a little flower and strung the beads on a silk string with a magnetic clasp. ( sorry this pic is not right but you get the idea.)

My first yarn on a wheel

The Rhinebeck Sheep and wool festival

A perfect fall weekend for the festival

A little milk and some sheepdog watching and then where to next

My annual Wool pilgrimage to Rhinebeck, NY sadly came to an end but not without a treasure. My holiday gift of a Lendrum spinning wheel and about 6lbs of wool. Yippee! There will be many more posts to be felt from this event.

Mercury Slippers

Mercury slippers project gleaned from Kneek for my Waldorf Homeschool Coop group. Our kids needed some magic slippers to wear when entering the learning space. These are my example slippers for felting workshop I gave to the group.

We began the project and I need to put the finishing touches on it. Beautiful and interesting conversations came from the group of mom's sitting around brainstorming our little class while needling and felting and fulling our little slippers.

Wool Lovin Mama

Kneek blogger recently asked why I have not started a blog to show my work and how it is done. I feel like it is very difficult for to me to be witty enough to entertain you, the reader. But if for nothing but the entertaining game of finding gramatical errors and good information on how to make great stuff I thought I would give it a try.

Well what the hell, here is my attempt at blogging and I hope I don't bore the pants off anyone.
