Needle Felting

Way back last December I found a little needle felting ornament kit at Michaels. I had tiny dabs of red, green, gold and white roving and two needles. I messed around with it and tried to figure out the concept and methods. Meanwhile Christmas came and I set it aside determined to find some better roving colors.
Last weekend Teen2 and I were wandering around town and we found a yarn shop that had some roving. We decided it was worth the $37.00. Ouch. But aren't the colors wonderful? Heck, we had fun just playing with the colors, rearranging them in the box. When we got home I googled needle felting, got some more ideas, discovered pipe cleaner armatures, and finally decided on a first project. And after many days, some gnashing of teeth, a few painful pokes, and an awful lot of oohing and aahing from Teen1 and Teen2, I'm proud to announce the birth of.....

Her Royal Highness Princess Hyacinth!

She was born last night about 8:45 PST and we are just as pleased as can be! She is 2" tall, about 1 1/2" wide, has pink and white hair and weighs about 6 grams. She has a heart shaped birthmark on her chest and wears a pink ribbon around her neck.

So that's all the exciting news from here Amongst The Oaks.
