Wishing you Bluebirds!

Hello! It all started when my oldest daughter was six years old-- i bought her a little book called "Wishing you Bluebirds." The when we moved into the house we are in now.. we had an old birdhouse out back and to our surprise-- it belonged to a bluebird family! What a nice surprise to see them and watch them everyday. I would feed them with meal worms from the pet store and the father was very gracious as he had young ones inside the house that were very hungry! They ended up having three females which have stayed here but have not nested yet... we need some male bluebirds! Anyway, this year we bought a new house and hopefully we will have a new family... crossing my fingers. I just love them! When I started needle felting ...of course, you always incorporate something you love into your work so my signature work is definitely bluebirds! Bluebirds- Felted Folksie Style. The picture of the real bluebird is the father keeping watch and perched very close to the house inspecting. The other picture is of my lastest Bella Bluebird Felted Folksie.. she is a wee tiny little bluebird-- standing in her little tiny wooden painted pot decorated with antique rick-rack and an antique cabbage rose. Isn't she darling? Bella with the pot measures a tiny 2 3/4 inches tall. If you are interested in her, she is being offered for sale on my etsy shop-- http://www.lindasgoodies.etsy.com

Hope you have enjoyed my story of how much we love bluebirds and how they became my signature work!

And how much we love them! I will let everyone know if anyone moves in :) Folksie linda

Felting away for The Land of Make Believe

Well, I have finally finished my latest update- The Land of Make Believe! I had so much fun creating all the little miniatures that will be in my Folksies Land of Make Believe. It is my most favorite stories... this one in general is Mother Goose Characters. I also love the Brothers Grimm.... hmmm... maybe that will be my next one or in the future sometime. It was alot of work... my hands and fingers are sore and achy! But I just love to needle felt... it is so much fun to create something sculpturing it with your own ideas and your own hands. This update will be on my website on Mother's Day! Yes special indeed! Well, I think I will take a short break and do something else for a couple of days.. rest for one! If you like the Land of Make Believe -- make sure you check out my miniature sculptures at www.originalfeltedfolksies.com
Until then, have a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's day too! Felted Hugs, Folksie Linda
