Needle felting doesn't need you to be artistic! For a really easy make - just find a cookie cutter (heart shape works well) then fill it with wool and stab away, once it's all matted up- remove from the cutter and needle stab around the edges to 'smooth/round' it off... You can even add more felt if you want to make it fuller/fatter. It makes a pretty hanging heart- I guess you could put a few drops of essential oils to make it into car refreasher ? (but I've never tried that!) xx

Are you calling me and Froglet strange! 😮😂😂...... obviously we enjoy spending hours looking for accumulated craft stuff which we just know we will need at some point 😂😂😂 Good to hear you had a good productive decluttering session though. My GD has reached the age where she can now say 'why don't you take that to work for the children to play with' which I find sweet.

Afternnon all. Quiet week here. We had 17/18 temp with SUN on Wednesday....cold again Thursday though. Sunnyday- I have heard of Quinsy, but many many years ago. Hope your GD continues to do well in her recovery. It took me and my brother a very long time to actually sort my parents house 😢. Zigzag, I mean to ask have you done some needle felting? I did enjoy if for a while 😊.... you could always make a fairy?- the felting wool would make excellent hair! I'll happily make you a little kit up of the other components if you need them! 😊😊 Froglet - I understand your 'looking for something I know I have' pain. I must of spent around three hours looking for the crystals for my fairy's dress- then once I did find them they were actually bigger than I remembered 😭🙄... but I still used them after all that effort of finding them! 😂 Hope everyone else is keeping well. Have a good weekend all. xx

Arrh... that's so kind, if only I hadn't already got felting supplies I may have been tempted 😜 Did I mention that I have a craft supply buying problem...😂

I've made a start this is my prototype- and she still needs a fair bit more work. I only purchased, wooden beads (already painted face) and pink pipecleaners. All other bits are from supplies 😂 I did the pipecleaner 'wrapping' in the evening with bad light.....and it shows!😮😂

Morning all. 😊 Hope everyone has had a good week. I'm on half term, and it's been my birthday- so lots of chilling out with family and eating 😮😂 I stared on a fairy, however, I did it during the evening and the next morning she didn't look so good (only did the body though)..... so far she has a 'look' that only a grandaughter could love!😂 Just seen your post Sunnyday, good to hear you had a good week too.x

Morning, quick catch up before we're off for the weekend. (I'm going to have to put on a 'social face' for a couple of days. 😂 Sunnyday, good to hear all went well yesterday. 💐 Froglet - the Works had spring coloured pipecleaners £1.00 including a 'spring pink' if you wanted to experiment. Hope everyone has a good weekend. xx

Sunnday, Hoping all goes well for you tomorrow. xxx

Quick add, just found some pink pipecleaners on amazon, I think I'd prefer more 'skin tone' but might order so I can experiment.

To be fair I do have a craft obsessed granddaughter - therefore I do have a slight advantage with basics such as pipecleaners. Preety sure the last lot I bought were from somewhere like poundland? ..... However I guess I may need to source natural coloured ones? Please do not encourage me! At least Froglet sounds if if she may actually use them and not Just add them to stock- as they are too pretty to use! 😮

I would happily buy them for you.... my only possible problem would be is that I may become too 'attached' to your items- then i would only be able to let you 'look, touch and handle' your items before I put them safetly away with the rest of my stash! I only really need some wooden beads for heads, and then some silk threads for body/arms etc. I mean I guess at a pinch I could use some of the threads that came with the embroidery set I bought last week 🙄😂

Very true - I wonder why on earth that thought it was a good time to ask! I must say, I like to idea of click and collect. I've said everyone can have a matchbox full of my ashes to do with as they please 🤷‍♀️ Well, Ive looked it up..... just need a couple of bits from the craft store,,,, Zigzag - lovely photo 😊 Mouseketeer - Hope it gets a bit dryer for you, although pretty wet up here too! ☔

I know what I'm doing this afternnon then! Sunnday will be thinking of you Thursday and hope all goes as planned. I do have to be honest and say I do have sort of 'jokey' conversations about my wishes, and I do hope they get followed through. Froglet- fingerscrossed there's still one sticky pudding left? I've had an impromtu GD visit this morning as she had a bad tummy- something eaten rather than a bug. Therefore, this morning have had done spellings, reading, handwriting practice, a bit of maths/telling the time- an arts and crafts session, then ending with a game of scrabble (junior!). She did give me a yoga demonstration.... at that point a realised her tummy was fine 😂 Hope eveyone has a good weekend, hopefully not too wet. I've stopped looking at the weather forcast! x

With that seal of approval I'm off shopping then! 😃

.........if only I had some craft materials I could try designing a logo 🤔, I know! I'd best go and buy some suitable bits then!!! 😀😂
