Needle Felted Santa and his Eight Reindeer

 Can't you feel the love?

Me, Santa and Dasher!

Happy Halloween!!

 Hurricane Sandy is now barreling down on us so I thought I would wish everybody Happy Halloween today in case I loose power!  These are just two of my pumpkin heads that I have left.  Hopefully if I have power tomorrow I will share some pictures of my heads that have found new homes.

Happy Halloween and wish me luck through Hurricane Sandy!

Sunday Night... It's Been a Long Weekend.

 It's Sunday night and I'm ready for bed!  It's been a weekend of many adventures and I'm ready for Monday to come so I can have a break.  Above is my newest creation just listed tonight.  It's Sir Gentleman Rabbit and his trusty companion Gordon Ramsey.

 This is a new flat felting piece I did for the Kingston Market.  It opened this weekend and I got some critters ready for Paulette of Argentic Creations to sell for me.

I feel about as old as this turtle looks... I wish I was as wise as him though.  He's at McBride House and is ready to instill some of his great wisdom onto you.

This is what Frossie thought of all our hard work this weekend!

Needle Felted Covered Bridges and other Buildings

I'm getting ready for a new adventure this summer.  I was contacted by a wonderful woman asking if I would like to have my felted pieces for sale in her new store!  I didn't even hesitate and said an enthusiastic YES!

The shop is going to be called "The Country Wife" and it is going to open in Sussex, NB sometime in June (fingers crossed).  I will reveal more details closer to the opening date.

I also sell my pieces to "real" people through the lovely Paulette and her shop Argentic Creations at the Kingston Market (which by the way opens May 5th, 2012 to any of you locals).

 

One thing that I love to do in needle felt are buildings.  The Red Barn is indicative of many of our barns that dot our landscape and the blue house in one from my head.  Wouldn't you love to live in a house like that?

One thing that New Brunswick is known for is Covered Bridges.  According to the Department of Transportation we have 62 Covered Bridges, and of course, The Hartland Covered Bridge is the longest in the world!  So if you are in the area come check them out but if you are not don't forget to visit my Etsy Shop!

My Little Helper...

I really don't know what to say about this picture...isn't he cute?

Spring Time and Needle Felted Sheep.

Spring always makes me think of frolicking sheep and lambs so I thought I would show you some of the needle felted sheep and lamps I've made over the past year.

To see some of these Lindsey Woolsey's and Gordon Ramsey's come check them at at McBride House!

Happy Easter?

Woke up this morning hoping my cold had disappeared into the night.  Nope.  Still sick.  Looked out the window and found this view.  And I thought I was having a bad morning....

Happy Easter everyone!

Boot Cuff Crochet Patterns Coming Soon!

I confess... my name is Bella and I'm a boot addict.  I love boots and love to wear them every opportunity I get and now with these boot cuffs I can totally change my look!  I can go for a more sophisticated look with the Button Decor Boot Cuffs, or if I'm feeling a little a little sassy the Denim Ribbon or if I'm feeling down right girly the Pink Thrill!  These are a great way to sass up a boring pair of boots or make your great boots even better.  I'm just in the process of the final draft of this Trio of Boot Cuffs but stay tuned, they should be ready by this weekend!
