I have noted that the list has become very still in the last few months and I am as much at fault as anyone. Lol
Our lives can be so busy and sometimes very distressing ( no I don't have bad news) but I do feel that it would be nice to try and bring the fun and interesting chats back to this great group.I have been a member from the start and have enjoyed getting to know the wonderful and very talented felters, some of whom we have shared their ups and downs with. An oddly, I hold close to my heart even though I have never met them! As I am poor at the written word my posts can be a bit lacking in true thoughts.lol
I think sandie has always done a great job with the list and no, I do not know who the next list mum will be. Thanks Sandie.
Now, what I would love to see again is some more interest in the group activities . Wendy offered to do a fibre swap, but I don't remember anything happening-sorry if I have missed it??
I turned 40 this past June and I am sure some of my brain cells went to sleep! If everyone is sick of a normal fibre swap, how about an exotic or colour theme?
What about an winter solstice or summer one or a photo comp of fibre animals with a needle felted animal that's in the photos or a felted flower swap? A felted summer top swap? Another scarf swap with a theme?
I was even thinking of on line class of some sort with maybe web cams or something every now an then.???
Another thought was ( and I know we are oz only ) but to have NZ folks to boost numbers? I don't really know why just thought of the spin list.
I can't remember if I told you but I have now made it into the retail side of felt making and I am thrilled to be selling to (so far) a couple of shops and I now plan to take it another step by seeing other shop owners and changing my website and getting out an about!
All this has made me think about my business card and my name.
After much discussion it was felt that Nemcala heart felted creations was not right and it has now been changed to HeartFelted Creations. This I found very hard as Nemcala has a lot of meaning. So how did everyone else come up with their name? Another thing that has come up, was fibre artist. I still feel this is right but others do not.I don't use the word textile because I don't work with woven fabric. What do we all think?
