NEEDLE FELTING - Ferdinand - Fox - The Makerss Monthly Kit Jan 2018

My first crafting this year was some Needle Felting.  I have found the whole being signed off work really hard.  I have felt guilty about being off and guilty about not earning money and it had a massive effect on my mojo.  Silly I know, but it has been hard.  So this past Saturday when Darren was fixing my car I decided to tell myself off and say "Don't be so silly, make something".  But what to make?

I had just before op had my Monthly Makers Kit delivered and decided Mr Fox would be my crafty cheer up.

Ferdinand was born on Saturday 20th Jan made

Fluff, Needle, Pipe cleaners & a whole lotta love.

Today I have started the badger from the kit.  Above you can see

the basics of what I used to make the Fox and Badger.

You can purchase the kit from 

www.themakerss.co.uk

and Pssst!  CAZ10 is good for 10% off your order!

Please Note : I am not affliated with The Makers, I do not get

anything for passing you onto them, just sharing

the needlefelted love :)

I will be back with the badger next, name to be decided once hes finished. 

Until next time

New Karen Burniston Dies

Hi Friends, sorry its been a while, I sadly missed a couple of the Paper Pros challenges due to illness. Its safe to say its been a poopy last few months with a short stay in hospital the end of October, A terrible cold from 27th December which has only really just finally gone and Appendicitis to finish it off!  I've not felt much up to crafting, in actual fact I have not even stepped foot in my palace since before Christmas.

I have however been looking at what is coming out, dreaming about all the stuff I want to buy! and this Karen Burniston 2018 release has certainly risen my interest in dusting off my big shot.

These are on pre order at Crafts U Love HERE and they have

  FABULOUS PRE ORDER DISCOUNT

You can see here introduction video

I am hoping to run classes on lots of these dies

at Crafts U Love.  I am just waiting for info from them as to which ones they want to run as I pretty much suggested them all!

I am still needle felting too and am loving my monthly dose from The Makerss and their monthly boxes.  This month is a fabulous Fox and Badger, these kits are totally doable for beginners, step by step photography and they are always available via Facebook group to advise if you get stuck.  The boxes are £17 a month £3 P&P, but Pssttt  I may have a little code... try Caz10 I think it will still work for orders.

Here is the link

This is the photo from their website

Next Month they have a 2d picture box.  I am very excited about that :)

BTW I am not affiliated with them, just a fan who is sharing the fluffy love! 

Felted Woodland Whimsies (photo heavy)

You may recall I started needle felting in December, just after Christmas and its fair to say I have fallen head over heels for this new to me craft.

I have been having an amazing time playing, learning and generally collecting and loving the fluff!

Below I will show off some of my recent makes and I warn you there might be quiet a few!  This is not replacing my Paper Crafting, and I do hope I don't loose too many likers, but hey, I might gain a few too.

Anyone want to get into Needle Felting I would Highly recommend a company called The Makerss at www.themakerss.co.uk    Their range of Wool and accessories are fabulous, they are friendly and fast.  I only share this information as when you start a new hobby it can be hard to know where to start, and yes you make the wrong choices along the way, but I truely think with The Makerss you will miss this out and just get the best.

Type in CAZ10 for a super duper 10% off, this is my own "Friends of Caz" code, how lucky am I? :)  

Bandit is my first Blue Tit that I made.  This was made

using my Monthly Kit from the Makerss.  This kit includes the

legs, eyes, wool and instructions the link is HERE

Here is a mouse that I called Mrs Jangles, she was coming on holiday

with us to Spain and I also made her using a monthly kit :)

This mouse was a present made for a work colleagues birthday.

It was very hard to part with this little guy!.

This is Bobbin, my first Robin, made using my 

Monthly Makers Kit.

Chip, my cookie loving mouse.  These mice are

super addictive to make and over the summer holidays I had

2 friends round over different days to make their very first creations.  It

was great fun and I would love to improve and eventually teach this locally.

This was my first Fairy that I made in Spain, 

again using the instructions and kit from The Makerss.

Fig was made in Spain and sat under the Fig Tree.

Three little mice!  Part of the fun is working out what

props you are going to give them.

This was Septembers kit!  I am so excited for next 

months kit as it is Hedgehogs and Toadstools.

In Spain I mas missing Milo, so I made a mini one!

Mr Jangles Turned up (was made) in Spain too!

This is the Professor that I made for my Uncle.

And lastly a pug that I made for a work colleague who was leaving :(

There are more, but I thought I had better stop.

Right, its a busy day today, my day off, but much to do.

Create and Take card needs to be made now.
