walter walter

This is walter my pink pawed little ginger friend. He’s a little odd though because I made him in the style of a teddy bear. I really liked how he turned out. It gives him a primitive, folk art kind of look and that is something I think I’ll try more of.

trooper trooper

This guy I made for fun, truth be told I had the weirdest dream a few nights ago. I was being chased by storm troopers and wookies down a long space craft corrider and everything was needle felted………weird huh? I told you I was obsessed by stabby stabby. Anyway he is pretty cool and I can’t believe he is my 30th creation.

Oooh I’m really excited because I am going here……

http://outsider.art.org/

I know I’ve been in Illinois for almost a year now but I only found out about this place really recently. I found out about it at the Winter Delights Stitching Salon in Chicago which I highly recommend to anyone who is in the Chicago area. And I really can’t wait to check it out. I love outsider art and I find it fascinating to see what other people have going on in their heads.

hair balls

No no I am not (for a change) talking about my cats I am refering to these –

hair balls

These came about because I so desperately need a haircut it has ceased to be funny, but I refuse to get a crappy tide me over cut like I did last time. So until I can cough up the funds for a decent cut I made these little beauties. They look really cool in my hair and I am going to make them attached to slides as well for shorter hair.

I had a really good idea last night (at least I think so) I think it’s because I’m so obsessed about doing a craft show and wanting smaller affordable things to sell in large amounts. It’s these cute little guys

My original thought was for use as bookmarks but they look really cute hanging up or just displayed. Needless to say I’m feeling happy with myself. I really want to make loads of different animals all different colours and sell them for under $10.00 maybe $6.00 to cover the wool and time. Turns out my cats like them too and they (so far) are holding up to the abuse quite well hmmmmm.
