Needle felt bunnies

and little white bunny :)   creating some wool needle felt items for my shop, to add to the crochet items available there.

Have relisted the cross stitch charts - I had offered them free a bit ago on the blog, but just saw that they are items that receive hits in my shop- so I will see if they sell -  

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not galatians 6:9
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. psalm 27:13

He keeps me from fainting, there is no way I can live, but Christ liveth in me.  I will praise His name!

I like working with natural fibers - wool, cotton, and sometimes silk...they are all gifts from God... and seeing what can be made with simple beginnings.

 I am the mother of two greatly loved and most precious adults, a son and a daughter; am divorced and we all live with my father, who graciously and loving welcomed us 20 years ago.....I work to take care  of his house, yard and two long haired dachshunds... and to sell through my etsy shop when I can Thank you for visiting!

and my inspiration and life is the Word of God - because these are His hands, and how could this earthen vessel possibly create anything, but that He is the strength of it all, and to Him be the Glory~

Critters in the Shop - they have a designer

This is how the little creatures featured in my shop start - as a fluff of wool ....

 after repeated poking with felting needles, much shaping and designing, they start to look more critter-like

then, add some hand painted wool - needled into the critter.......








It did not happen by itself - I made it - and the wool, came from sheep....and the Designer put the information in the sheep to make the wool, which I used, to make the critter :)

Therefore, to say that over time, the fluff of wool  became the critter would be nonsense - someone crafted it......and the little critter in the shop is hardly as lovely or as delicately designed as the real one, full of life, kept and Created by Almighty God.
