Another scarf? Another candle? Another bottle of hand cream? Or not! Plus a wedding, new workshops and fun!
Perhaps it’s time to tell your family what you REALLY want?
("what you really really want!" - to quote the Spice Girls 😆)… 🎁
New! Sheep to Shore Gift Certificates 🐑
I’ve had quite a few people ask about gift certificates, so I’ve finally taken the plunge — they’re now available on my website!
You can choose your own amount and use it towards any Sheep to Shore workshop that can be booked online. And if there’s something you’d particularly like to do that isn’t currently on the website, just get in touch and we can arrange a date.
So, if someone asks you “What would you like for Christmas?” and you find yourself saying “Oh, I don’t need anything…” — perhaps think again! How about a few hours to yourself, some lovely wool, a bit of creativity, a cuppa and some good company?
Much more fun than another pair of socks, I think so anyway! 😉
A little bit of life at Sheep to Shore…
It’s been a particularly joyful time here lately, with my son’s wedding being just a wonderful day of joy. There was lots of love, laughter, family and, thankfully, no needle felting required! Though I did make them a little gift and of course did not take photos! 😆
I’ve also had a visit from my cousin’s black sheep from Scotland, I made it for him a couple of years ago and although he couldn’t come for the wedding, his mum did and bought a little bit of him with her! The sheep is a little bit naughty (like my cousin!), rather fond of food and has certainly made himself at home. I’m not entirely sure he understands that being a guest means you should be polite and don't necessarily get to eat everything in sight! 🐑😂
And there’s lots of woolly fun coming up…
My Needle & Wet Felted Coasters workshop is coming up — and I think these would make a lovely Christmas gift. I’ll demonstrate two different designs, but you’re very welcome to create your own. I’ll be there to guide you, help you experiment and hopefully prevent any serious woolly disasters!
Classes are kept small, with a maximum of four people, so there’s plenty of time for individual help.
If you’ve been thinking about trying needle felting but keep putting it off, my Christmas Decorations for Complete Beginners workshop could be just the thing. Come along, have a go and make some lovely decorations — or simply pick up some ideas and inspiration for your own Christmas creations.
There’s also a Woolly Christmas Tree workshop, where you can make your own little tree and decorate it in whatever style you fancy.
For something shorter, there’s the Gumnut Workshop, which is a lovely introduction to needle felting and particularly good for beginners.
And yes… the Woolly Robin is back! ❤️
Of course, my favourite — and one of my most popular workshops — is still the Sheep Workshop.
And I’m very excited to introduce something new… a Jellyfish Workshop! 🪼
Apparently even jellyfish can be made from wool. Who knew?
Oh, and dont forget, book two workshops before Christmas and get a free Fibre pack!
☕ Woolly Wednesdays and a little Christmas celebration
Don't forget our next Woolly Wednesday Coffee Morning on the 4th November.
And then we have my special FREE Christmas Coffee Morning for all past participants on the 2nd December! 🎄
There’ll be games, giveaways, Christmas cheer and, naturally, plenty of wool.
Bring along your felted creations, your current project, something you’re stuck on, or simply yourself. It’s a lovely chance to catch up, have a chat and meet some of the other people who have joined me for workshops during the year.
Please sign up on the website so I know how many people to cater for.
🌊 And now I’m off…
I’ll be away for most of October, taking some time to relax, reflect and snorkel!
It’s been a busy year, and I’m looking forward to having a little breathing space, seeing what lives under the water, and perhaps letting my brain wander towards some new woolly ideas.
I’m sure I’ll come back with a head full of inspiration, lots of “I wonder if I could make that from wool?”. Do you do that too?!!
I hope to see many of you when I get back.
And remember… if the family starts asking what you’d like for Christmas, you can now point them towards my website!
With warm woolly regards,
Audra💙🐑💙
