I had great fun today at Jumble Jelly www.jumblejelly.com in Bradford on Avon taking part in a Jenny Barnett needlefelt workshop. We were creating mad March hares by stabbing bundles of wool fibres with very thin 3" barbed lengths of steel. As you pull the hook back up through the wool it melds the fibres together. The idea is that you only stab the wool but I managed to stab myself more than 12 times and it REALLY hurt. After 2 1/2 hours of stabbing wool and fingers this was the result:
At the end of the month I shall be going back to make a hen (I love hens) and hopefully stab myself a little less frequently!
We also popped into the Neeld Hall to see Debbie to confirm our booking for Frome next month. Its going to be a very busy few weeks to make some more things for my first solo craft fair. I hope to see a few friendly faces there.
Happy crafting

PS There is a new page on my website "The Story of the Wendy Room". He who likes to be obeyed wrote it for me. I looked at the photos and my first thoughts were how green the lawn looked and how many flowers we used to have in the flowerbeds - all pre-Phoebe and Treacle and now mostly gone.
