A New Project Needle Felting

Hi Everyone, It's been awhile since I've posted but it's Pink Saturday so here is a little PINK I've just needle felted. I had never heard of needle felting until recently while visiting in blogland and seeing some wonderful needle felted sculptures. Last week I received my first kit from Lowell Country Designs of a Polar Bear. My bear is a little different from the kit (it's all white) and I put a pink scarf around her neck. I've never done any doll or bear making and this was fun.

Now my little Blue Bird of Happiness is my own design and she's all wool. She's sitting on a vintage egg cup. I also made that little yellow peep. I've been spending hours on the computer searching for needle felting to learn as much as I can. There are many exceptional artists doing needle felting and many are willing to share their knowledge.

Thanks for visiting today and please let me know what you think of my needle felting projects.

Looking Forward to 2009

Since Christmas I've been wondering around the internet kinda lost in space...you know going from one site to another, one blog takes you to another blog found lots of great blogs! So maybe I want to change my course in life? Make another New Years resolution? Do I sound confused..oh yes I am! My husband thinks it is the after Christmas let down, well maybe.

I don't want to make another New Year's resolution...what to lose weight,it's not happened in the past and only makes me miserable. Maybe this is the year I'll get organized - I keep trying but have not been able to give up my treasures and I don't want too! Many of the blogs I've visited are to showcase beautiful crafts the owner makes, maybe I'll start crafting again. Let's see I've had everything to make a mosaic table for my back porch for about 2 years. Painting supplies and patterns to start painting again, especially want to learn to paint roses, the paint is probably dried up by now! Plastic bins in basement filled with all kinds of craft supplies but never used. Is it just me or do others have problems with motivation?

Think I'll just show you some pictures of my favorite things in 2008. Pictures of my garden always relax me.






And Felix and Happi make me happy!




And here is the love of my life after Christmas dinner!



I feel better already.
