I always knew I needed a Needle Neddie...


A couple of years ago, my best pal Tomás came down to visit for a wee holiday, and while he was here, after we'd all gone to the museum and boot sale and talked horse for hours, he brought out a big bag of wool and some very sharp stabby needles and explained that he'd started needle felting as a hobby. During the course of the week he made two, a very squishy Suffolk and a slightly less so roan, and very kindly gifted the Suffolk to me before he left! She's a little wonky but utterly adorable. <3 I also had a go at a cat, which didn't exactly end well. XD

In the following years, his skills have grown immeasurably, to the stage that he's now making them to order, and after winning a money off voucher in a photo show's raffle recently, I knew I couldn't put off ordering one any longer!

I made another of my posable creatures the other day.

Originally he was supposed to be a little dragon hatchling but as I didn't have the fabric I thought I did, he ended up being more of a kind of Gryphon-like thing instead. He's fully posable, from his neck to his wings to the very tip of his extra fluffy tail. He's also the smallest doll I've made so far as he can fit in the palm of my hand. :D

Here he is before he got his fur coat. :)

Widget (naked :P)

In my hand for scale...

He was going to have feathered wings originally but as I didn't actually have any feathers to scale he's had to make do with furry ones instead. :P

Yeah, so I'm pretty chuffed with him as you can probably guess! :D :D
