Magic Cozy Needle Felted Pincushion NeedledByNydam

Woo Hoo! It is done. All the the magic was working and this pincushion came together beautifully. I had so much fun designing this. I love wool! Setting an auction up at eBay is not really all that hard, I'm a little rusty.

Rescue Me

I am posting this picture of the dog, whom shall remain nameless. Just after our last “snowfall.”
She was not to happy because there was not enough to tunnel into and because, I forgot she was out! Here she is. My Golden Girl. Everyone who knows her name knows it and to everyone else she can be Ms. Snowdog, if you give her enough rope she won’t make it back to the door. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? Today she learned how to bark, for me. The thing is, what she was suppose to be learning, was how to come back the same route she went out.
But to bark was a good thing for her to do, especially, since she only ever barks for her master and never for me. I let her out and I forget her. I have to put her on a rope now because she wandered across the street. Once I found out, she lost her freedom. Before that she used to come when I called her. But she always came up behind me. So I kept calling and she would keep on wagging her tail but never bark to let me know she was behind me.
Wonders upon wonders today she found her voice. Woof ! She sounds a little hoarse. When she barks for her master everyday when he arrives home she sounds like a puppy yipping and joyful. But I get a deep low guttural woof. She’s been hanging around me so long she now sounds like me.

Tonight I will be listing The Magician Thimble Cozy at eBay. If you want to watch the auction my seller username is kathnydam . I will be listing more items at Etsy this afternoon and early evening.

Magic Thimble Cozy

This little Magician was preparing to pull a rabbit from this hat. It did not work out that way.

Magicians Hat

Ta Dah! That's the Magic. The Magician has backfired a trick and now he is small enough to fit in a thimble. A real Cozy!

My Tool Kit

The toolbox is nice and it helps me to stay organized but the essentials for me are a glove and a needle. Even better than the glove is a piece of suede. An extra pair of glasses helps when I put in the detail. On Christmas Day I made my needles a Cozy. It works well and was easy to make first I needled some wool then I stuffed it into an unused eyeglass case and needled some more. I put the needles in it then put on the cover. Voila!

For me needlefelting is like magic. I never know what will appear until I needle away at the fluffs of wool. I might start off with a general idea but what comes is usually a surprise. I have even tried to duplicate the process and still each wooly has it's own character.

Hot Chocolate

Now a cheery note. . .

So this is the story Morning Glory of Ruby Rose. She is a little sweetheart. I gave her red garnet eyes using beads from an antique necklace. So, if she looks like an old soul, that is why. The hot chocolate cup is old also. When she snuggles down into the cup deep, her ponytail looks like steam and her head reminds me of marshmallow. The first thing to give her away is the pink bow on her head. Okay, that's the story of Ruby Rose and off to Etsy she now goes.

The Last Shot

I know it was all a blurr but just to show you the last I saw of them as they entered the woods.
