Just back from a LOVELY visit with Linda (partner in crime on Awfully Big Art Adventure) - it's months since we managed to get together. So of course I haven't been at home making stuff, but Linda taught me the gorgeous art of needle felting and I am so excited about it! You can see my very first effort - felted 
a mixture of yarns and angelina onto black felt, and then stitched over it with the sewing machine. I've started another piece now so watch this space!!We also managed to fit in a visit to a superb exhibition called "Living Threads" where we both bought a little kit to make felt flowers - by knitting them from wool yarns then sticking them on a hot wash! Can't wait to try that out.
And as you can see we bought a few bits and pieces from this brilliant craft shop which is like an Aladdin's cave of bankrupt stock etc. You just have to get in there and RUMMAGE, so we did!! The funny little picture frames were 25p each and just cried out to be altered ....

HI Rosie
I love Needlefelting and teach it often at one of my local stores, it's great fun and a good stress reliever! You first piece is wonderful.
Ooh didn't we have a lovely time! I was so glad you liked the needle-felting (and you took to it rather well I must say!) Thank you for getting me started with scrapbooking...I just wish you'd forgotten to take the Cricut home with you haha!!!
Love
Linda xx
