Adventures in needle felting

Well, let me just say that I have REALLY been enjoying needle felting. It is a total blast! I have created mostly felted acorns but also constructed a heart ornament for my nephew Briggs. He is having open heart surgery this Thursday, so it seemed a fitting ornament to adorn his present this year.

Why I am liking needle felting you may be wondering.... It is a relatively speedy process and lets face it I can be impatient when it comes to crafting. :) I also love the texture of roving wool. The one negative is the needles are SO sharp and I do routinely stab myself thus forcing a break, at times when blood is drawn. I'm hopeful this side effect will vanish with practice.
