I stopped blogging a coupe of years ago so don't monitor it as such.<br />Thank you for the information, it's always lovely to hear of good practice.. I hope that your friends approach is taken up by others.<br />I don't have a use for such fine fibre personally but hopefully your info will be found by folk who do use it.<br />Best wishes <br />Deborah x FeltersJourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144951816128798093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733144082304387946.post-22317773404861632672019-07-10T19:26:05.187+01:002019-07-10T19:26:05.187+01:00Thank you :)

I would of used another 2 or even 4 layers of the red fibre if I hadn't used the fabric and that would of been VERY heavy work. <br />Thanks for asking :)<br />Deborah xFeltersJourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144951816128798093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733144082304387946.post-11844910146240856262019-07-10T12:26:03.585+01:002019-07-10T12:26:03.585+01:00What a beautiful rug.

I ag...Hi, love your bag and your creative process. I agree with you on the process of sheep being kept in plastic jackets and alone just to keep their microns lower is animal cruelty. I have found a lovely farmer here in Australia that has gotten 13 - 15 micron through good food, her sheep are out in the paddock with no jackets, just very happy sheep. Her name is Nui Milton and is from Casalana fine wool. I have been to the farm, so I speak from first hand knowledge.<br /><br />Those who mistreat their animals should not profit, but those who treat their animals with the best of care need to be promoted, not demonised.<br /><br />I hope you don’t mind my comments. I thank you for your inspiration! Now I need to make a bag lol.<br /><br />Regards<br />Vicki-anneVicki-anne Carternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733144082304387946.post-89824041843017090912018-01-21T18:40:29.566+00:002018-01-21T18:40:29.566+00:00You are welcome Ann, I'm glad you like them! ...You are welcome Ann, I'm glad you like them!

I hadn't realised but as it was there was nothing set up for people to follow it!<br /><br />Unfortunately there isn't a simple 'follow' option. BUT I've set up a 'subscribe to site' button and set the blog to send a notification to the email address of anyone who subscribes. I've added an RSS button too incase anyone with an RSS reader wants to follow that way. <br /><br />:) xxFeltersJourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144951816128798093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733144082304387946.post-64556206368911562222017-05-28T19:44:32.838+01:002017-05-28T19:44:32.838+01:00Good Luck with the new blog and continuing your fe...Good Luck with the new blog and continuing your felting journey :) Zedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501183383883177154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733144082304387946.post-29236641758303059662017-05-27T22:04:33.935+01:002017-05-27T22:04:33.935+01:00Hello Deborah - lovely new website and looking for...Hello Deborah - lovely new website and looking forward to following your new blog!<br />Lyn and Anniehttp://rosiepink.typepad.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733144082304387946.post-85615192963772501792017-05-26T16:10:58.321+01:002017-05-26T16:10:58.321+01:00How do we 'follow' on your new blog please...How do we 'follow' on your new blog please?Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16590711062458033145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733144082304387946.post-19577969679410528692017-01-30T15:30:59.675+00:002017-01-30T15:30:59.675+00:00I just want to thank everyone who sent comments or...I just want to thank everyone who sent comments or messages to me after reading this.. your words have meant a lot at a difficult time. <br /><br />I'm not publishing any as some have been quite personal - all have been very supportive.. thank you so much xxFeltersJourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144951816128798093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733144082304387946.post-73676452129571272102016-11-19T14:45:34.898+00:002016-11-19T14:45:34.898+00:00Excellent tutorial.

Gi...Thanks Els & Gill, Lyn & Annie :) xxxx<br /><br />Gill thinking about you too, we must meet up for a cuppa again!<br /><br />Lyn & Annie, the big table has gone now.. I was very nervous about it going.. and I really do miss having it! But we are thinking of moving house so I want things to look 'right' for valuers and prospective buyers.. so my humungous table which totally dominated the dining room really had to go :( I've done a lot of de-stashing over the past few months and we have managed to HIDE all the rest of my stuff :) The spare bedroom which was chock full of lidded plastic boxes now has bedroom furniture (which feels quite bizarre); an ottoman bed holds all my wool fibre, a wardrobe contains all my finished felt and a chest of drawers is full of smaller tools and supplies. Plus Gary built me a lovely big cupboard on the landing, which is full to the top. Oh and I have 2 boxes under our bed :) It would be nice if we found a home with room for a studio.. where I can have a big table again and supplies out in plain sight to be found quickly etc. Alternatively when things settle with my parents I'll look for a studio to rent.. but that's not in the foreseeable future.<br /><br />So I'm being (mostly) positive about this slightly awkward stage and trying to only notice the nice neat spare bedroom, and nice furniture in the dining room etc.:) and trying not to want to felt big things or worry about the awkwardness of having to protect a wooden table top from too much water :S 'Things WILL get better, they will, they will' - and she clicks her heels together three times :) FeltersJourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144951816128798093noreply@blogger.com
