Needle Felted Snowmen

Having a little play session with my 6 year old, showing her how to make snowman tree decorations!

I'm teaching a needle felting workshop in November at Quilting Antics in Settle,  North Yorkshire & we shall be making little tree decorations like these (these are a bit rushed as we didnt have much time). The class is fully booked so it should be a great day!

Needle felted Christmas Baubles

In the run up to Christmas last year, just before I started my Maternity leave,  my boss asked me to make her a set of christmas baubles.

Lucky for her I had recently purchased some gorgeous white and burgundy wool batts from a stall at the Yarndale festival in September,  and had been looking for an excuse to use it! (Yarndale is an annual event held at Skipton Auction Mart, North Yorkshire - just a ten minute drive away from my home).

For these baubles, I used 8cm polystyrene balls and I wet felted the wool around the balls.  When they were dry I needle felted the details on.

I made a set of 12 matching/ contrasting balls and I was rather sad to part with them.  I think I'll make myself a set this year!

Needle Felted Christmas Elf

I made this little fella as a secret santa gift for a work colleague. He has a little jingly bell sewn onto the end of his hat.
