Couldn't manage crocheting yesterday so going to come up with other relaxing quiet things to do.
Wow what a beautiful giveaway!

Guest Blogger Week 1 Marie from Soft Earth Art
I would like to say a BIG WELCOME to our first guest blogger:
Marie from
The Enchanted World of Needle Felting is full of Rainbow dyed soft New Zealand Wool
Its warmth and light speaks to me, I feel it breathe in my hands and fingers. I
want to warm peoples hearts and ignite in them a stirring of their spirit.
Magical creatures, fantasy figures, Waldorf Inspired, Gnomes, Fairies. Living
out in the rural countryside. I am inspired by Mother Nature. Here all is calm
and peaceful.
Children especially find my art appealing as it appeals
to their wonderful imaginations. My small homestead and garden is organic and
was built 25 years ago. I work on the Kitchen table, and the sun’s light
bounces off the wooden walls, to create a heart-warming glow.
I started making a few small wool dolls, and took them to
markets and fairs to sell. They were well received. I friend suggested that I
start a blog, and I have been astounded
at the interest and following. I joined Etsy and the New Zealand on-line
shop Felt. I wanted to share my art with others globally, to let them have in
their homes a little piece of me. To this end my art is affordable to all.
By going global this has extended my view of the
world. New Zealand is a fairly small
Island nation, but now I consider the seasons happening in the world and create
items for others’ Seasonal Nature Tables. I love what I do and have written a
lot of short poems that go alongside my original 3D needle felt art. My hope is
to publish these in a book.
Cheers Marie
I hope you will join me in becoming a follower of Marie's blog and saying a big thank you for her being the first guest blogger.
I already have a number of things on my wish list!
