It’s quite addictive stabbing that needle repeatedly! If I can do it (kind of ) sure you can!

You always know how well you have done,as to how sore you're fingers are at the end of the day,!

You must be sore all the time with all your big gorgeous creations!

Okay, I must confess ... I was wool shopping (again).
But I couldn't reist when I saw this wool. The colour is not quite as it could/should habe been, but it's okay.
So meet my newest piggy.

Does it remind you of somepig?
(Will be my last one for a while, I promise.)

I love that colour.
It wouldn’t be Billie by any chance?

Yes, though it can never be as special as the original Billie.

Today I gave needle felting my first try. I'm happy to report that my fingers survived, 2 needles didn't.
I don't think, it will become my favourite new hobby, but it was interesting.
I thought, I had picked an easy YouTube-tutorial. Wasn't as easy to do...

So here comes the cat:

I hope it's recognisable.

And I hope the ears are still in place tomorrow.

This one is for a laugh! Not my most successful cake baking session!

It's for my hubby's birthday tomorrow. As we didn't use it at Christmas, I'm going to use the Christmas cake iced appropriately as his birthday cake, but our kids don't like fruit cake so I thought I'd do a Victoria sponge as well. I don't know why one has sunk so much . The flattened bit was caused by a bit of metal that sticks out the back of the oven, I'd never noticed it before

I’m sure both cakes will be yummy

My late Gran cooked a disaster cake that was scrummy as a pud with custard.

They'll never notice if you put the sunk bit on the bottom. Hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow.

I've made lots of those. I must admit I'm not a fan of sponge cake unless it's hot with custard. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Looks yummy

Made a few more felties since Christmas. I went a bit abstract with the sheep and the dog was a commission. The bunny was just because I felt like making one.

 

[Qualcast&Flymo]

Looks yummy

It was yummy in the end- especially with lots of glittery butter icing The sunk bit wasn't as bad as I'd feared - cooked enough to hold its position, jyst not risen.
Literally half-baked, like me. Though I don't know why, the other sponge was perfectly risen.

 

[Viennese Furbabies]

At the moment, I don't find the time to do much of anything, except looking after the piggies and working, but at least I finished this scarf for my mum.
The next project will be a lighter scarf for spring - no hurry there...

It's quite a vibrant blue, just a bad picture.

Today I attended the first lesson of my quilting class, I have made my first 2 blocks although I am going to have to redo a bit on the second block as I made a mistake but 2 hrs flew by. It doesn't seem much for 2 hrs but the measuring and cutting all takes time.
proud of my first effort and looking forward to lesson 2!

Very good for a first effort.
Well done. ️

Looking good. I remember how long it took my sister to cut out the pieces! Making them have her RSI so she stopped though. Hmmm maybe I should make a cover for our bed from the fabric I have…time just isn’t there though.

I've just finished this needle felted alpaca for a family friend as a memorial to her alpaca, Jacob. I think he's my favourite thing I've made.

I can't believe it took so long to just do these two blocks, I'm not sure how I'll go as things get more complicated.

@MildredMaudeandEnid they are all beautiful! Would you consider taking on a commission?

I'm booked up until June at the moment so not taking any more right now but if you keep an eye on my Facebook (www.facebook.com/missmaudesfeltedfloofs) I'll put something on when I'm open for commissions again. What would you be after?

 

[Merab]

It doesn’t surprise me at all that you are booked up until June @MildredMaudeandEnid
Your work is stunning.
I would guess that if you took on all the commissions it would be June 2023 you were booked up to.

You will do well because you will become more experienced as the patterns get more complicated.

Funnily, it's heading that way. I'm having to be really strict with myself because I'm a people pleaser and find it hard to say no. it's been a surprise how many people are interested!

 

[Two_Wheeks]

@MildredMaudeandEnid thanks, so not surprised, they are adorable! I'd be after a dog and possibly a cat. I'm not on Facebook but I'll keep an eye on here and get in touch in a few months!
