In the past, I’ve seen gorgeous “landscape” scarves on the internet. The scarves are wet felted from roving, then needle felted with details. Ever since I saw the first one… I’ve wanted to make one! Isn’t it perfectly delicious? Finally, I did. Part One of this journey begins HERE. I’ve laid out my roving until…

Wool Scarf
Tomorrow the Ten Sleep Library will be hosting Billie Jo Norsworthy from Lucy’s Sheep Camp. She’s coming over from Thermopolis just to give some lucky people a class on wool needle felting! Of course, someone has to be there to supervise the library… 😉 If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve seen me…
Friend’s Gift
With the cold and the snow (6′ in Buffalo, NY, really???) my mind thinks of wool… Here’s my first wool BOWL! I cut a resist from some soft plastic (floor underlayment) about 5″ across. I began to layer wool roving under and over it, each time changing the direction of the roving, and pulling the…
Woolen Blocks
Darkness is coming earlier in the evening, and I find myself reaching for unfinished projects to work on as I sit on the couch. My first choice… Soft woolen blocks for the granddaughters… I had needle felted the designs on, but not finished the handstitching… Made from a multicolored felt piece from Lucy’s Sheep Camp,…
Even Better
I want your sympathy. It’s -5˚ outside, with the 3″ of new snow on the ground (on top of whatever was there!), and I’ve left my camera in the car! I had to blast to Worland to give a speech to a group at the Worland Library and finally got home at 9 pm. There’s…
Wool Headband
A few weeks ago, I started my latest wool project. When the wind blows and that cold goes rushing by your ears, you become a fan of whatever can cover your ears! For years I”ve carried a simple earband in my Carhartt pocket. Just a smidge different, it was long enough to go OVER my…
Wet Felted Wool Hat II
Starting with yesterday’s post, I continued my hat project. I had *barely* enough wool to make two layers with my roving. My mittens, if you recall, had four layers. Four wet felted layers will block wind and make your hands sweat if it’s 30 degrees! Two was not enough, but it was what I had…
Wet Felted Wool Hat
The latest wet felted wool project was this… a hat! My son-in-law got a great hat for Christmas, knit, and with well formed ear coverings… so I decided I’d make one for me out of wool. I copied the pattern and went for it. I was really down to the tail ends of my wool……
A Box
I’m working on an item for our library Silent Auction next week. I chose to use wool, and decided to copy this great vintage Father Christmas card. I know, why not start with a box? Or an apple? NOOOOOO… I have to start with a PERSON for heaven’s…
Harvest Dinner Raffle Preview
After a day’s work at the library, and making meatloaf, baked potatoes, and biscuits for supper… I cranked out a few Soap Stones to donate to our Harvest Dinner fundraiser on Saturday! Yeah, ALREADY! It always seems to sneak up on me! Seems like we’re down in donations this year for the library raffle… So…
Failure and Happiness
Well, poo. Tomorrow’s the library’s silent auction and I didn’t finish up everything I had planned. Too many ideas and not enough time! The project that has slowed me up the most is the photo transfer I wanted to do. Finding the right combination of gel medium, paper, printer, etc. has slowed the process way…
