I’ve chopped, and chopped, and chopped, and sanded and salted again and again! I’ve got a good sized parking lot and had to block some of it off for safety. It’s going to remain frigid cold outside until Tuesday, so I don’t expect it to melt away until then. I can’t wait until spring comes along.
The Icy Lot
The Icy Walk to the Store
This is what I do in the evening in front of the TV. I have to be doing something other than watching TV, or I feel like my time is being wasted. These critters are all needle felted and one-of-a-kind.
This is the purse I made from the green fabric I felted.
You can buy it on my website at Shop The Black Sheep
This is what I did today. I think next time I’ll make the overall design elements smaller. I think the flower designs are too big, although it will make a great looking purse.
Layers of wool
Just a few more flowers to lay out.
Hot soapy water on my fabric-to-be
It's magic! Those wool fibers are turning into a sturdy fabric.

Ta-Daa! It's done.

My sign was installed last evening. I’m so excited. I’m going to open the shop on Tuesday, December 7. Grand Opening on the 15th.
My New Sign
Well I’ve been busy, busy, busy getting the store and classroom ready to open for business.
I’ve torn up rugs, put down tile, built two 8′ tables, painted and installed shelves, ordered inventory, hung a new door for the store…….
One of the 8' tables
I painted one closet door with chalkboard paint, and one I put corkboard on.
Getting ready for Christmas
This is a picture of wool batts for sale. Some are not unwrapped yet.
Besides selling feltmaking supplies in the store, I'll be selling some of my jewelry and needle felted items.
