Wonderings on Felting Fairies
WooooHoooo we have made it to Wednesday evening and we are that much closer to the weekend. :-)
I've just been for a lovely little meal out with C, only to the local pub for a burger but it was yummy and it's always nice to have an unexpected middle of the week treat.
A couple of weeks ago at the craft club I go, I decided to have a go at needle felting and this fairy was the result.
I was really pleased with how she came out for a first attempt.
It was such fun first shaping her head and torso in the plain fleece and then getting to dress her up in pretty pinks and reds.
Adding little details like a twisted belt and little flowers on her wings.
I loved creating her hair, a gorgeous bright blue plait, I wish my hair was that colour!
This weekend I'm going to be starting putting my Halloween decorations up which I'm looking forward to. I'll, hopefully, also be starting the preparations for Vanessa's Fanciful Twist Halloween Party which is on 27 October this year.
OH! One last thing, what do you think about the fairy not having eyes? The directions I followed didn't have any eyes but everybody I've shown her too keep asking where they are. What do you think? Eyes or no eyes?

I found needle-felting to be loads of fun (well apart from the few times I pinned myself with the needle) and very relaxing. In fact it's given me ideas of spinning my own fleece and making loads of little creations, I'd be like a proper Sleeping Beauty, although I wouldn't fancy sleeping for a hundred years. Imagine all the blogs I'd have to catch up on!
