Christmas rush over

Now the Christmas rush is over it's given me a bit of breathing space at long last :) My most popular thing this year was definitely my rainbow fairies, I did a series of 4 of these in different ethnic groups, which is what made them so popular I believe. Out of the 4, by far the Chinese one was my favourite.

I also did some more woodland scenes as they were popular too, but very time consuming.

Neglected blog

Oh my goodness, it's almost a year since I wrote on my blog, bad me !! In my defence it's been a very busy year one way and another. Crafting and then moving house, took up a lot of my time. It's only now life is starting to settle down again, and I'm able to start crafting again.

I've started doing some little needle felted woodland scenes as presents for Christmas this year, well I've done one and am on my second. I've also done some needle felted funky fairies too. Which hopefully I'll get photo's of today to show to you.

For the time being I'll show you the hats I did last year with needle felted designs on, and also the first woodland scene.

The needle felted mermaid was a commission, as were most of the hats. To see lots more of my creations pop over to my Facebook page Cosmic Crafts

Wow !!

Well in September I made an announcement on here that I was setting up a Facebook page to sell my arts and crafts creations. I did just that, and I was the last one that expected it to take off like it did !!

Since September I've been inundated with orders, mostly for crochet head/ear warmers, that are also perfect for people with dreadlocks. I started off just doing plain ones, and then to make them stand out a bit more than all the competition I started needle felting designs on them. That's when it really took off. I was crocheting morning noon and night, till my hands were crippled with pain, but I kept it up because I was so excited that people liked my designs enough to buy them.

I needle felted Celtic tree's of life, hares gazing at moons, goddess and most recently a little robin sitting on a branch. The robin is still for sale if anyone is interested and I am also taking orders for any of the others that I've made. All head warmers fasten at the back with chunky wooden buttons.

If you've got any ideas for other designs you'd like to see on the head warmers please let me know in the comments.

Just to wet your appetite I've put some photo's of my most popular headwarmers. Which cost between £8.50 for plain ones, £9.50 for most of the needle felted ones £12.50 for the hare ones and £20 for the celtic tree's of life. As much as possible I try to recycle packaging and I keep postage as cheap as possible.
