Fiber Friday

Three class participants with nearly-finished hats
Last week I got a good fiber fix, with this commission felting project completed and two hat felting classes!Despite one particular fleece giving us fits (it was slow to felt, and Kay, above, was ready to turn her hat into a place mat at one point!), everyone had great success with their hats, once again. Everyone stopped to see our newborn cria on their way out. Yes, another boy, but a lovely one at that.
I look forward to scheduling more classes in late summer, or if two or more people want to get together and request a class before then, I'm happy to do it! In the meantime, trail riding is beckoning and I'm having trouble finding more studio time. Here are a few nearly-finished projects that I made during classes....

Fiber Friday

I've been squeezing in miscellaneous projects as I can, and am ready to deliver some new spring/summer nuno felted scarves back to Damselfly Gallery in Midway and Truly Bluegrass in Versailles.I was requested to make this hat in solid brown (same size and style) for a Truly Bluegrass customer, so I'm gladly working on that! I have two upcoming hat felting classes scheduled for next week, so if you're interested in those check them out on the calendar, as I still have some spaces.
This little bird (I got the kit from Alicia Paulson) watches over my felting, and I think she looks really cute paired with the needle-felted nest that my internet friend Chrissie gave to me. I wonder when those eggs are going to hatch?
