Dear All,
   I am off to the Fibres West in Bunbury on Sunday. Doing machine embroidery in
the round
with  Ken Smith.  As if I need something new to learn. Catching up with mates I
have not seen
for 3 years.  Meg.

We do have swaps from time to time and over the last few years we have had a christmas ornament swap.

So, if anybody would like to join in again this year?

I would be happy to be swap mum.

More about that on another post.

Stay safe all

Hugs Natalie.

Hi all,

Welcome to our newest member :) Yep, we tend to chat in fits and starts as life allows. We're a friendly bunch!!

I've been trying to catch up with finding the floor in my house this school holidays, as up until now I've been at school 3 days and working 3 days. Of course the family have been wanting to take the final day up with other stuff, so housework has been very much on the back burner.

Who knows what this last term will hold, other than it's bound to be busy - the group project and other stuff with my school, one DD needing a costume made for something in 3 weeks, my DDs both with VCE (HSC) exams, staff re-arrangements at work, and of course Christmas!! WHEW - as soon as I find my workbench under everything, I'll try to incorporate felting into some of those things *lol*

warm fuzzies,
Caz :)

Yes we are very quiet at the moment. I have lost my felting mojo, due to working almost fulltime and a slight elbow injury.

I hope everyone is well and busy creating.

Welcome to all the new members.

Remember Fridays are our market day and if anyone has anything to sell they are welcome to advertise.

Have updated my blog with a photo of a knitted shawl I made before the physio said I had to rest my arm

How about everyone puts a little message out about what they are up to for us to catch up. Doesn’t have to be felt related.

Hi Everyone,

I've been unwell since I requested membership-but on the mend now and back on the computer! My name is Michelle and I live in a beautiful town in Southern Tassie called Cygnet. I write Childrens books and run a furniture making busines Phoenix Creations (-we use recycled timbers) with my artistic husband. We have 3 kids 2, 3 & 7.

I have become addicted to felting -have been dabbling for a while but have now caught the felting bug well and truly! I look forward to hearing all your tips and news

Best Wishes,

Michelle

Welcome to our newest member.

We have been very quiet lately, but I would like to ask Krishna, when do we get to see photos of the bags in the swap? I put the one I made up on the photos, but haven't seen any others, apart from the one I received from Natalie. Come on everyone, put up a photo or two...

Hi Julie,

The photos will need to be put up by whoever has taken them. I think it was Ardione who organised that swap. But anyone who has a photo of the bag they received is very welcome to put it in.

How�s things with you Julie?

I haven�t been doing any felting or any craft lately. Have been told to rest my arms as I have a bit of a golfer�s elbow going on. Have rested for 2 weeks so far, not sure I can keep resting for much longer. Getting very restless. LOL

I went to Beaniefest.  It was interesting, challenging and has helped
me work out my direction.  The hats I sent were mostly knitted but my
competition entries were fulled, felted, and needlefelted.  Am waiting
on their return.  I sold most of my knitted ones at $35 each.  I did a
couple of workshops including one on wet felting, and made the best
felt I had made so far.  I have been making lots of felted hats since
I came home and think they are improving.  Some of the competition
entries were stolen in the first few days, according to the ladies I
knew who worked in Beanie Central - the selling area.  People try them
on and I found one of my entries in a completely different area of the
gallery from where it was displayed.  it's a consideration if you plan
to enter.  Overall it was an interesting experience and certainly
worth the trip from Melbourne.

Hi Caz,

Just mailed my work in. Would love to go, maybe next year.

They take a healthy commission and limit the selling price to $70.00, so you have to take that into consideration when making the hats. I always enter as many as I can in the contest ( 3 this year) as there is no limit on the selling price. I asked $125.00 for those.

good morning everyone

I'm hoping someone can help me out, I will be coming to Brisbane soon to work the Quilt Show, I've never been to Brisbane before and unfortunately don't have any family or friends there, so is there anyone in this group that wants to adopt me for the week.

I've been told I'm a very low maintenance quest.

My only requirements are that you are not to far out of town and very close to public transport to get me to the venue (as I have legs that don't work to well) and that I don't have to share my bed/room with a cat, dogs are fine it's just cats that I'm allergic to - so anyone want to adopt me ...........please

fingers crossed = cheers

Hi Petra

Here is a link to the web site for a felt rolling machine, Australian Made. www.snowycreek. com.au

I have one and it sure takes all the labour out of rolling. I wish I had more time to use it but so far I have done several pieces from medium thickness, using fine merino to very thick ( two batts plus embellishments) using strong merino. Made a blanket for my Granddaughter using super fine merino. Takes a little time to learn the best way. Don't get fibre too wet makes the bundle too heavy. Very, very fast way to make prefelts. Start out rolling slow for a few minutes the up the speed. All in all it allows me to felt items I would never attempt by hand. If you intend to do a lot of felting, it is the way to go.

Easy of moving it is also a plus. Very well made, a quality item.
