wonders if any other craftery folk get as excited as I just did getting a 500g bag of shiney colourful buttons in the post! Oooooooooooo shiney! I think if I were to be an animal, I'd have to be magpie! :D

Busy bee

Well it's been a busy few days of needle felting on the run up to Christmas. A few orders to get organised and just got another finished this afternoon. Onto another this evening...inbetween online Christmas shopping and re-plenishing felting supplies.

Where does the time go!?

I'm in one sense lucky at the moment as I've been inbetween jobs and have had the time to fully dedicate to felting. Will a new job staring in Jan, how does everyone else who works full time, manage to fit in the time to make a plethora of lovely handmade items and successfully sell them...as well as fitting in the time for sleeping, eating, cleaning etc and/or raising a family if they have one?

Answers on a postcard please, haha!

Well hello there! Welcome to Felt 'N' Funkys blog.

I thought I'd try this out and see how it goes. So this is a place to share my felty ideas and creations and share the joy of funky felting. It doesn't need much...well patience (esp. for needle felting!) and a little bit of imaginationa and it's amazing what you can create! From pictures, to bowls, slippers, clothing, jewellery and accessorise, 3D sculptures and so much more...here's a few wee things I've created in the past...
