At the insistence of Brown Owls I seem to be expanding my crafty repertoire - first crochet and then last week I was lucky enough to join in with Cintia’s felting workshop. There is nothing as relaxing as poking the crap out of something with really sharp needles – LOVE. In 2 hours we all easily managed to make a macaroon and the sweetest little mushroom (which seems to be MIA ie. stolen by small fingers).
How could I walk away without my very own bag of woolly goodness and have started on a flower for Poppy and a Pokeball for Caleb (don’t ask). I picked up lots of earthy colours in the hopes of making some little creatures soon.
If you are in Melbs there was talk that Cintia may be persuaded to do more classes - fun, portable, not overly expensive and stabby - what more could you want in a craft? Even if you wanted to just have a crack there are lots of great you-tube tuts as well.

Cute! I wish I had of known about that workshop...will look out for the next on!
For now I have bought a neddle and foam, and wool to get me started- also want to make a little shroom! Are we crazy or what picking up a new craft haha
ah stabby crafts, who could resist?
That's quite a convincing macaroon you have there. In a chewy felty sort of fashion. (The fairies have nicked the mushroom)...
PS. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS, BUT WORD VERIFICATION IS 'ASTAB'. BLIMEY!
Yes... I can see how the idea of poking something with sharp needles would appeal :)
