felting away fear

OK, another weekend without much purpose...need a way to prevent negative thoughts about my current situation. So, have decided to make some farewell gifts for some of the very nice people here that have helped me maintain a semblance of sanity.

It all started by me deciding to make a felted ladybug for a great lady that has provided a lot of support to me and collects ladybugs. Seems like a perfect little stylized object to felt. Pulled out my big bag of wool, whew! it doesn't smell better over time.

So, right now I am washing some of it and hoping that it'll dry quickly, shouldn't be much of a problem given the temperature outside is in the twenties and I have these handy, easy to control, radiators in each room...

So, wool's soaking along with a wool sweater that was reported stinky this week by a pregnant lady, they really know what smells are out there! And, we'll see what happens.

I want to needle felt the lady bug and also now thinking...maybe a scarf or two wet felted could be accomplished...we'll see!
