Handmade Monday is hosted by Wendy over at 1stuniquegifts and surely means you post on a Monday? However, I am being highly organised this week and writing this early, because I know I will be busy tomorrow. My college friend is coming to visit and we haven't met up since these two, were this size. 
A few weeks ago I posted my early attempts at dumfing. I thought you might like to see how my 'skill' is developing (OK the word skill is a little premature).

Twiglet has been very helpful, and I am hoping that she will spot her input my next post about dumfing. (Just putting this correction in quick - dumfing is Twiglets word for needlefelt, 'cos of the noise her embellisher makes - me I just use a clover needle).
In the meantime I have a house to tidy, and blogging techniques to perfect, as my friend said she wants to ask me some questions about blogging. So next week you may see my profile change to Blogging Consultant.
As a prelude to such a role change I thought I would let you into a little secret that Wendy at 1st Unique gifts told me, (at this point you realise that my friend ain't going to gain much knowledge from me, but I'm very good at getting it from everyone else).
How do you 'follow' 1st Unique Gifts if you are on blogger (or follow anyone else on Wordpress)?
On your dashboard page, scroll down below your reading list, and you will spot add, click add, and paste the relevant url.
Your dumpfing looks great. Hope you and your friend have a great get-together.

ReplyDeleteI love the pictures - and I think 'skill' is definitely the right word! Lovely x
ReplyDeleteYou're so helpful! :) Have fun with your friend, it's so good to catch up. I have a friend from Jr. High School (yes that was a LONG time ago for me) and periodically we see each other and it's like we have never been apart.
ReplyDeleteI like your dumfling, I can tell what the pictures are, and that's a good thing! :)
If it makes you feel any better, it took me nearly 9 months of blogging before I realised what the add button did. However... now I am constantly adding blogs to read... which doesn't go down well with the other half.
ReplyDeleteLove the field of flowers pic!
I love the results you can get with needlefelting. I was going to google the word dumfing thought it was something new in the needlework world!!
ReplyDeleteI love your needlefelting, very evocative looking and the colours are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLovely work
ReplyDeleteThe kids are beautiful and I love the bluebells - what a clever girl. xx
ReplyDeleteI love the word 'Dumfing' very apt! Needle felting is great fun...I have done a bit of sculptural needle felting and it is so satisfying! The pictures you have done are fantastic, I especially love the 'field of Daffodils' You have inspired me to get out my felting pad again!
ReplyDeleteLove the name 'dumfing' kids are great for renaming things. Hope you've had a great time catching up with your friend. The field of daffodils is great. x
