Its Pumpkin Time

I finally got round to making a new little pumpkin to go with my collection I try to make a couple of new ones each year 

This one has been needle felted with a single needle, he is only 2 inches tall

 Last Year it was these two little one

and from previous years a crochet one and one made from the leg of an old pair of jean's and a fabric one.

It will soon be time to get them all out again :-)

A Rainbow Arrived

My felt supplies were running low with making things for the Christmas fair,

Now its all re-stocked again

 Opening the box was letting out a rainbow, I buy felt by the roll its more cost effective for me, I have kept on an account with one of the suppliers I had for the shop of course when I browse there site I end up adding other things to the order

 Blended merino wools stunning colours, sorry they were still in there wrappers

and curly locks again a lovely selection of colours 

I want to do some needle felting and have a project in mind for some of these,

 now all I need is time its a shame they don't sell that as well, oh well the dark nights are coming in so it will be more time for crafting :-)

Elephant Finished

Yeah I got my Elephant picture finished 

another WIP crossed off the list, I gave it a quick wash and pegged it out in the sunshine, it was a bit dusty from sitting around. I can now find another needle felting project to do, perhaps something a bit smaller this time. I fancy trying some 3d pumpkins, I shall see.

Needle Felting WIP

I have got back to work on another WIP

Its a needle felted picture, it was started a few years ago I hope to have it finished in a couple of evenings.

I have got something finished yippee

A simple hat knitted with my first skein of home spun Alpaca yarn. 

As it is my first attempt of spinning Alpaca and only my second attempt of spinning I am pleased with it, the yarn wasn't perfect it was in various thicknesses, but I don't care its knitted a lovely hat and adds to the character of it, all home produced from one of my own Alpacas :-)
