Wooly Goodness ~ An Attitude for Life

Betsy Boo-Bop's retreat kit was a colorful feast for the eyes.

I loved it. I adored it.

I took LOTS and LOTS of pictures of it.

So strap on your eyeglasses.

AND I plan on using a LOT of words to talk about it today.

Not so much the process but the end result which, frankly, I just can't get enough of. I want postcards and glossy movie posters of these beauties.

I know, you want a tutorial.

Well, kids you'll just have to go to Google for that.

Simply google +"Felted Pin Cushion" +tutorial and you will see a myriad

of resources and ideas.
How can everyone BUT JimBob be so engrossed in the process?

JimBob appears to just be grossed out.

These photos are pre-embellishment. But mine will probably never see any embellishment because I love her just the way she is.

Can you possibly guess which one is mine?? I find it to be very representative of me and my vast braininess.

Bets contacted Debbie who has a fabulous etsy store, KnitTogether, selling beautiful hand dyed wool roving and other goodies.

She also has an ebay store as well. Debbie just whipped up all these stunning kits with instructions.

I think every Quilt Retreat in the Free World should be felting pin cushions.

It's a life lesson in bringing together raw materials to make something utilitarian. Kind of like inviting Judy to the retreat! :)

(She'll NEVER read this. She doesn't know how to turn on her computer!)

They started to take on a life of their own.

They wanted to stand out and be noticed. One even escaped from us.
