Work In Progress ~ Haflinger Horse
I'm getting closer to completion on my Haflinger! Yeah! This is a special creation to me as it reminds me of visiting the horse barns every year at the County Fair. That is where I first fell in love with the Haflinger horses and I have visited them there almost every year scince childhood. They inspire me with their elegant long flowing blonde manes and tails. They are so beautiful!

Work In Progress ~ Miniature Deer
With this little deer I wanted to challenge myself and see how tiny I could make her. At 2 inches this is by far the smallest deer I've ever needle felted! I want her to have all the detailing and character of the larger deer I have made. I've already broken three needles while trying to sculpt in all the little details - teeny, tiny, muscles and joints - frustrating - but I'm not giving up!

Tiny Dancer
For my Daughter's 3rd birthday we signed her up for dance lessons. She loves her dance classes so much. Unfortunately its only one day a week, so she spends the other 6 days continually asking me when her next class is, lol. During class time they have a curtain covering the dance studio windows so the kids are not distracted by parents or others during lessons. I have to admit, I keep moving the curtain ever so slightly so I can peek at her.... I can't seem to help myself... it is such a joy to watch her dance. Now I take my needle felting with me. This keeps me from sticking my head behind the curtain too often (which I'm sure is a relief to the instructors) and I get some work done.....
