My little heart is in love with wool and all the possible loveliness it can be transformed into. So today I finally sat down and tried my hand at needle felting. This is a process of making felt in which you take wool roving and stab it again and again with a barbed needle. Sounds like a fun way to take out some frustration, right? My first project was this simple coaster in the photo above.
So now I want to make more....but have no need for coasters. I sure hope you do though because I am having a drawing. You know, where you enter your name to WIN SOMETHING. And in this case that something is a set of four coasters designed, felted, and lovingly shipped off by yours truly. I feel so excited I am quivering and warm all over. I love creating for people so this is an indulgence for me every bit as much as a gift for you.

What wonderful photos. I too love wool, scratchy wool, soft wool, silky wool, smelly wool - well maybe that's a bit of a stretch but what I meant to say is that I like the unique smell of wool not wet wool per say. That's just plain awful. Anyway, show the coasters, I want to see them.
Welcome to my site Gypsy. And thanks for the giggle.
The coaster set doesn't yet exist. I will custom design them after talking with the winner.
Sarah was fast on the reply! She's awesome like that. I want in too!
