First of all, a big welcome to my new subscribers! It was lovely to meet you at Peel Open Studios. And a big "hello" to all of you I have contacted before! This quick blog/newsletter has a load of info! Note that I am still learning the system so if anything is weird let me know!

Me at Peel Studios

It's a big weekend coming up—I'll be at the Pinjarra Festival ( Pinjarra Festival - Visit Pinjarra) on Friday 31st May and Saturday 1st June at the beautiful Edenvale Heritage Precinct. Come say hi, browse handmade woolly goodies, and chat about all things felting! I'll be bringing my needle felting supplies, so if you need more fleece, needles core wool etc, come on down! There is so much happening there, live music all day, loads of activities and of course the stalls.

New: Workshops at my Home in Halls Head

My first home-based workshops have been going wonderfully—lots of smiles, gorgeous flowers, brooches, and even felted soap! I now have insurance in place to host small groups of up to 4 people in my home studio. If you’re keen for a relaxed and personal felting experience, get in touch!🐑 Next week: we’re felting sheep!

Felting Tip of the Week:

To keep your felting pad in good shape and make your projects easier to remove, lay a piece of thin cotton (like muslin) over the pad before you start felting. It helps stop fibres from embedding too deeply and reduces fibre transfer between projects.

That is all for now. Thanks for your support—I hope to see you at the markets or a workshop soon!

Have a wonderful woolly day!
