Australian bushfire fundraiser

One of my fellow felters from the felting forum is organising a fund raising event to raise money for assisting those severely affected by the devastating bush fires in Australia. Please read more on her blog or on the felting forum.
Thank you.

Not a good time

Craft fair next week , Half term this week, not a good time!!! I can see next week is going to disappear in a mass of labelling, printing, sticking, sewing and general frenzy in getting everything ready for next Friday - building day! The fair is only a weekend but this time I have a 4.5 m2 cubicle to myself. A bit scary after a little table! I plan to display a few pictures this time round as well as a variety of 'bits and bobs' including Easter decorations. I have a lot of finishing to do but know once I knuckle down to it, it doesn't take that long. Oh yes and the accounts - well that's another thing to do..........

Eggs, rabbits and aliens!

I have been felting away in my little room fro the past few weeks in preparation for a craft fair at the end of this month - http://www.kadentaitomessut.fi - Helsinki Kädentaitomessut 28th February - 1st March, at Wanha Satama, Helsinki. It will be my only fair before Easter so I have made these.
I am also in the process of wet felting dozens of easter eggs, which are drying in the sauna as we speak. They are fun to make and look great in the little linen and wool nests I have also made.
Finally I made these little chaps just after Christmas and they have been patiently waiting for their turn in the spotlight so take it away guys!

Close encounters of the Rainbow kind! Who said 7 heads were better than 1?
