That looks great Wendy, welcome. Very Happy

I started felting last year and have made a couple of bags and some insoles so far. I'll look forward to picking your brain, I want to attempt slippers next! Laughing

I love the melon. Watermelon is the only kind my husband eats...and the only kind I don't!
It's great to see you here, and thanks for adding the dropped spindle to your blog (I noticed it nestling there in the list on the right).
I have posted a link to a site you might like in the spinning section, and added a books/websites section too as a resource.

The melon is fabulous! I love quirky stuff like that. So far my felting has been very 'natural' using coloured fleeces.
I'm looking forward to experimenting a little more.
