Why I love Crafting

Happy New Year!

Now that 2012 is over I am actually glad.
After the tragedy in my town, it has been difficult for me to pick up where I left off in my crafting.

That's what I love about needle felting, sewing, crocheting, etc.
I can do it in the house and I don't have to exert a ton of energy.
Now if I could only sell some of my items it would be great.

For those of you who are new to selling your wares, the two top site are Etsy and eBay.
I find Etsy difficult to sell on.  I don't know why.  I think I just do not put into the advertising what I must to get found.  There's also a lot of competition.

Ebay on the other hand was always a great way for me to sell...anything.
So, today I post two needle felted items on ebay and we will see how it goes.

I am re-grouping and trying to produce things that people would actually want.
I know people love my work but they don't buy it.
I think it is hard for people to pay a good sum of money for something they cannot hold in their hands. 
I did much better at the craft sales.

Well, that's it for today.
If anyone has questions about needle felting or anything craft based, give me a shout.

Happy Friday.

Why I love Needle Felting!

The one great thing about any craft is that you can put it down or pick it up at any time.

The awesome thing about needle felting is that it is inexpensive, fairly simple and very satisfying.

There are no confusing stitches or lingo to remember. You don't have to follow any patterns and if you make a "mistake" it usually an easy fix.

If any of you out there ever need tips or advice. Feel free to ask.

Rise of the Guardians Santa

Good Morning Everyone.

One of the things I love to do best needle felting, is copying pictures.
I find it to be a challenge and I love to "sculpt" the wool.
The funny thing is if I tried to sculpt anything else, it would be a mess.
But wool.....I can do.  Who knew?

This is the Santa from the movie Rise of the Guardians.
He is big and boisterous but not your typical Jolly Old Elf.

Needle Felting for me is a great creative outlet and I have come to love it.
It is cheap, fast and satisfying.  That sounds a little crude but you get my drift.

I hope you enjoy my non-traditional Santa.
