Today I took my turn working at one of the shops where I sell my needle felting. It's a small store called Ruby's Nimble Thimble, in a town about 1/2 hour away named Greenwich. The shop is divided into 2 sections. The owner is a seamstress and has a shop with some fabric, her sewing area, and a room in the back full of sewing machines where she gives sewing lessons. The other section of the shop is divided into booths which she rents to a few crafters and a couple of people who sell retail decorative items. Each crafter/salesperson has to work at least 1 day per month. I have a booth with my very good friend, Maureen. She knits beautiful children's sweaters, hats and mittens, and also does needle felting. I concentrate mostly on needle felting, but I do have a couple of pieces of artwork and a couple of baby blankets for sale also. Here's a sampling of what I have been making lately.
It's a craft I really enjoy. I have a hard time just sitting in the evening and watching tv - always need something to keep my hands busy so I can relax. If you'd like to know more about needle felting, this link explains it pretty well: LauraLeeBurch
Oh how talented a needle felter you are! I wish you were close enough for me to pop into your shop and buy one! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa! And thank you for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, thanks for the comment on Rupert. We have another four cats and all of them have no trouble expelling their fur balls. Rupert has always had a bit of trouble, they are so big.

Hiya, Sue! I just popped over from Weaver of Grass...the wee woodland creatures you've created are lovely.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue - I am pleased to hear that you read my blog. I too used to do a lot of craft work - beading, quilting etc. but have developed a shake in my hands so I no longer do any. I have a friend, Fiona, whose felting is amazing. I am pretty sure she has a website - if so go over and have a look at her felting work. Go to marmaladerose.co.uk
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting! I took a long look at Fiona's website - her work is incredible.
