A colorful Critter Onion housing a needle felted hamster

So here is my latest little hamster I needle felted out of merino sheep's fleece and alpaca fleece. It's meant to be a toy for a child older then 5 yrs old. I put her up for sale in my BitsOfFiber shop. I have some more Critter Onions that I will be putting up for sale but I have to make some little animals to go along with them. I might put up one without any animal in it since some kids are allergic to wool. The Critter Onions are made of 100% cotton and can be used for all kinds of play fun for younger kids.

Meet BunnyLu - Baby French Lop!

Finally took the time to give baby BunnyLu some whiskers so I could put her up for sale in my Etsy shop. I had fun making her. Now that I've made a couple it gets easier each time, especially trying to get the features right.

Next I'm working on putting a mane and a tail on a white foal I made. A friend of mine from work got me some real horsehair from one of her horses which should make it look pretty real I would say by using that instead of more fleece. Can't wait to share it with you ... unfortunately I don't have time to finish it today but hopefully by the end of this week it will be ready.

Another bunny is born!

This little guy will be traveling across the ocean to go live with my niece. It's her birthday in a couple of days she'll be 14! Wow, I can't believe she will be 14 already. She's always had a stuffed toy bunny and a real live bunny as well which she looooooooves. She doesn't know I made this one for her, and I hope she doesn't go on this site to have a look ... so shhhhhhhhh, don't tell her it's coming.

Hatching Ducky and Being Featured on The Indie Tot

All kinds of excitement today ... I'm just about finished with needle felting a little duck called "Ducky". I'm waiting for the paint to dry on the wooden plaque I'm going to put him on. I'll post a picture of him without the plaque at this moment. I tried something new ... I mixed real feathers in with the fleece to see how it would felt and I'm pretty happy with the result. Ducky might look like he's having a bad hair day but I think it just add to his character, he really looks like he's just gotten out of the egg! Now I have to keep an eye on Ducky since our dog, River spotted him today and got all excited about a duck being in the house. See, he's a bird hunting dog and even though he hasn't gotten trained to do so this dog is in love with anything that looks, sounds and feels (anything soft in his mouth) like a bird. Now our cat also took an interest in Ducky and tried removing Ducky's feathers so I had to remove her from my studio to keep the little guy safe!

Then I got an e-mail telling me I got featured on The Indie Tot so I'm all excited about that news. So check it out for yourself by clicking on The Indie Tot button on this page and it should take you to it.

That's about all the news I have to share with you today. Thanks for stopping by.

Itty Bitty Bunny her name is Sweet Pea

Here she is ... she started out with short ears but as I worked on her shape she looked so much cuter as a lop bunny so here she is. I don't have her in my Etsy shop yet since I'm still working on painting her little wooden basket she will be living in! I used Merino sheep's fleece and real angora bunny fleece to make her. Her eyes are glass beads. Sweet Pea is the easiest little pet you'll ever have to take care of.
