Craft Lab: Felted Balls








We went on our first camping trip since summer last week, to my favorite spot at the beach. We had perfect weather, mid 70's everyday. I brought along my needle felting supplies and got to work making felted balls. I made these for my nieces' sweet sixteen. I love needle felting and can go pretty fast now. I purchased all the supplies for my next craft nite months ago, and everyone wants to learn how to make these. So, come January, we will be making these earrings.

Craft Lab: Needle Felted Chick





Here's a photo tutorial of how I made my little baby chick. I hand crafted this a few weeks back on spring break. On our last day, I broke my needle and haven't been able to needle felt since. So yesterday, I needed to escape my house, I went to not one or two yarn stores, but four to locate some felting needles. I drove all over the place. The first store had them, but the ladies were not helpful and the kind they had were so expensive, that I left emptyhanded. One store told me needle felting is not very popular.... Really? Come on people, open your perspective a bit. In hind sight, I could be felting right now if I bought one from the the first store. Oh well. Today, I will look online for some new needles. Wish me luck.
