So this is my needle felted bag as it stands now… a bit more progress than the last pic I shared of it. I’m contemplating entering it or some other item in a wool art show this summer… but, even though I like it, I don’t feel like it works with the bag. It’s just…

They’ll Work
After making Tess these mittens for her birthday… I decided to make me another pair as well… the ones I had made years ago were now riddled with holes and one has gone walkabout. So today… One cuff is a bit longer. One has a bit of extra wool on the fingertips. But they’ll work.
Wool Mittens
It’s been eleven years… Eleven years since I made myself a pair of wool mittens. Today, we were to celebrate Tess’ upcoming birthday, and I made her a pair. I had such fun, I think I’ll make me another pair! They are made by laying bits of wool roving down along a plastic resist cut…
In Good Time!
I love it when I complete a project in good time! My first version of a wool saddle pad took me over a year to make, neglected, however, over the summer months. This one took me right at a month! Daniel’s birthday present/just because present is done. I gave it to him asap because we…
Blessed Rain!
It started raining last night, just as predicted. it’s rained all day just as predicted. It’s 10 pm and it’s still raining and we’ve measured 1.93” so far! That’s pretty impressive! I also just watched two vehicles start driving up the mountain on the dirt (mud) road… a car and a pickup. Hopefully, we won’t…
Yes, Sir, Yes, Sir, Three Bags Full
I think I swore I’d never make another one. Yet, here I go again. While contemplating what we were going to buy Daniel for his birthday, I proposed a new saddle pad. In the back of my mind, I thought, I *do * have all that wool downstairs still… Did I have the latchhook canvas?…
Wet Felting Slippers – Part Two
Finally. I think I have it figured out. It doesn’t like long videos. How I would ever post something like a 20 minute video… it’s just not gonna let me. Here’s Part Two of what will become a long series of short videos! Felted Slippers (Part Two) from Carol Greet on Vimeo.
Wet Felted Slipper Tutorial (Part One)
Held my mouth right, and the video uploaded! Yay! Well, I also shortened it, so Part Two and most likely Part Three will be coming as well. I still am planning my next Q&A session, neverfear. Should I have problems uploading the next videos, I’ll squeeze it in there somewhere. For now, enjoy the beginning…
Starting to Felt
I began the major felting of my wool slippers. They still are not complete, seeing as how I actually had to go to work the past two days! One is 80% complete, with some final shrinking left, and one I have yet to begin. I’ve just reviewed my videos I’ve been taking throughout this process. …
Slop Your Dripper
The day was chilly… with tattered remnants of snow pasted on the ground. While I should have worked again on a bee hive or cleaned the chicken coop, I remained inside, trying to accomplish a goal I had set for winter. I have wanted to make a pair of wool slippers… well, almost booties since…
Felted iPhone Case
For my first wet felted bag I’ve made… I chose to do a sunflower decorated iPhone case for a friend’s birthday. With lots of needle felting after the wet felting… I like it.
Mountain Meadow Wool
I arrived home this evening, having to abandon Victoria and the boys to get some work done around here before I have to work Wednesday and Thursday. On my way through Buffalo… I didn’t stop at any antique stores or hardware stores but I did finally accomplish something I’ve been wanting to do for a…
