Can confirm this is accurate, with the addition of occasionally stabbed fingers 😅

Tiny needle felted bunny on a small log slice on a green felting mat with a needle stabbed into the mat behind it.

I love him.

Old charm desk with the corner of a laptop in shot and various partially completed felted sculptures and supplies. There is an empty shelf to the back of the desk with text that says 'Whimsy is coming...' added onto the photo.

Like so many others I spend a lot of time at my desk but it is just looking very boring! Time to repurpose an incomplete project to add some much needed ✨ whimsy ✨

What do you think it could be?

I love that sleeping druid! It reminds me of the giants at the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall :)

Chronic illness is so weird.

Because what do you mean I start feeling a little better after being 'normal person' sick for too long only for chronic illness to flare and I'm still stuck on the sofa?!

I just want to craft pretty things 😭

Plot twist - she just spent eternity collecting more yarn and ate anyone that questioned her 😂

Ouch! Hopefully that healed quickly. My worst was about a month ago, I went right along the side of the top knuckle of my middle finger. Must have caught a nerve or something because it was bruised and swollen for a week...and I still won't wear finger guards 😅

If only, I somehow manage to jab my fingers somewhere new and totally random each time!! 🤣

I swear my felting needles have minds of their own and say 'hey you know what would be really fun when you're using white wool?!'

The tiny black cat ghost has arrived to join the bookcase party!

Seasonal embroidery pattern with the quarters for Winter, Spring and Summer completed.

What's this? I'm actually doing the seasons embroidery during the named season?! Quick! Buy a lottery ticket because this never happens!!!

Curly haired brunette with glasses and a nose ring wearing a green knit cardigan holding a blue ombre felted mushroom on mossy coloured mound on a wooden base

This mushroom went through so many iterations and colours but I'm really happy with the final result!

I am by no means an expert or historian, I just got curious when I started felting and went down the rabbit hole!

If memory serves it was part of an exploration on what is possible with wool from the 60s as a rebellion at what you can/can't do.It developed different methods over time eventually including needle felting. I think Sweet Pea Dolls was a good resource for the history of the craft when I looked it up

It's the crafty and artistic communities that give me hope that the world can become a better place. Being able to find beauty in this dark chaotic world is an incredible gift.

Thank you so much!

Green canvas pinned to green velvet, resting on a fluffy purple cushion

So close to being done! Just 2 inches of back stitching through 5 and 7 layers of canvas and velvet to go then I can start my spooky season projects 🎃👻🐈‍⬛

Green fabric pinned in place with needle and pliers

I can't wait to finish this project. Sewing through so much sturdy fabric I'm having to use the pliers!

I'll have to look that up!
I think I have some teeny tiny books in my craft stash that would be the right scale for these ghosts so could potentially use those but also considering making a comfy armchair, or maybe a rocking chair...or would that ghost need to be knitting? The ideas are endless!

My other idea was some kind of bookish ghost but not sure how to make that work yet 🤔

Thank you so much! They are so fun to make :)

Tag me if you post it, I'd love to see! These were really good to do as it gives a lot of practice for the basics, especially the pumpkin with all those indented lines :)

Black cat is what I'm leaning toward with its little ears and tail poking out!

That's fair, that would be such a silly amount of modern stitching it would bug me too!

This is stunning! I hope your fingers can have a well deserved rest now though...or are you already onto the next project? 😅

Two needle felted ghosts, one is holding a tiny felted pumpkin and the other wearing a witches hat with a small broom beside them.

Trying to think of ideas for what little ghostie I could make for spooky season this year. The pumpkin and witch ghosts need a buddy, but who? 🤔

It is a certain kind of cat 🩵🐯💙

This is so cute!

Work in progress shot of two triangular shapes of black felted wool with pale blue borders and a pink centre on the left one

Working veeeeery slowly on a new project. These are so flat and about 3cm wide at the base so it is taking a lot of patience and delicacy which I do not have!

Any guesses what it will be?

It should absolutely be a thing!
