Needles

For the last week or so I have been careless with my felting needles. I've left them out in a foam pad on the coffee table, or on the entry-way table, and the kitten has asserted her anger with us for not feeding her dry food at night by breaking or losing almost all of them. I'm left with a couple of needles that are really quite thick and are great for getting projects underway, but are horrible for detail work. So, in essence, I'm dead in the water for crafting until my new supply comes in from a Canadian Etsian named Fantiny (www.etsy.com/shop/fantiny). In the meantime, I'm making a list of items I want to create and wishing on all the stars in heaven that my needles come soon!

It's raining. I'm waiting to hear back from the Queen City Craft Bazaar on whether or not I'm approved as a vendor for the May 8th show...and if so, I'm going to be a very busy beaver indeed over the coming weeks. If not, I will attend anyway and spend all of my hard earned money on other peoples' crafts.

Otherwise....*sigh*....I wish I were crafting......

100 Sales & Giveaway

I am so grateful to announce that my little Etsy shop has reached 100 sales!!! I originally opened my shop in 2006 to sell paintings of birds on wires, but reinvented myself this past year. I listed the first 20 needle felted items on March 2nd. Since then, I've received so much positive feedback, made so many friends, and have grown my art immensely (go take a look at the first few listings!) In celebration of the first 100 sales, I'm offering a giveaway! The giveaway prize is the Plumpie that started it all - featured on the Etsy Finds blog and the item that generated the first wave of real interest in my shop - the sitting fox . I will make you one of your own, but you can see an example below: To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment with your contact information. One entry per person. The giveaway ends November 26th at 8:00 pm EST , with the drawing on November 27th. I'll announce the winner on Saturday, November 27th.

Shop Update!

These new friends are now available in my Woolnimals Etsy Shop ! Free shipping too!
