One down, twelve to go . Following a Reddit post from a previous client last week, I suddenly found myself flooded with orders in the space of two days.
I am going to be a busy girl !!!

Hi lovelies. Just wanted to share another reinvention of my needlefelted hare. This sweet lady is 14cm tall and on a wire armature so the angle of her head can be adjusted slightly.

Before you ask, she has already been adopted but if you would like to see items like this in my shop, please leave a comment below ❤️

I started this "just because " project ages ago, and finally my Fallow Deer Faun is complete.

Work in progress. 2024 version of Mabel Mouse-ear Ballerina

Needlefelted memorial portrait complete. The client provided her beloved cat's whiskers and a little clipping of fur, which was a first for me.
The whiskers, as you can see, look amazing. The fur was encased in a tiny felt heart and buried in the chest.

Coming along nicely . Ready for mounting on final backcloth I hope.

Bespoke needle-felted novelty keyring. A last-minute , belated birthday gift for my PT 😄

Work in progress.

This is just to say hello and introduce myself to any new followers who like to put a face to a name. My name is Anne, the face and hands behind PoppetcraftsbyAnne. I retired early from the NHS 5 years ago for health reasons and since then have been creating pet portraits, models, and other bits and pieces by needle felting, a process involving stabbing fluffy wool with special barbed needles to create the desired shape. Items are available to order on my Etsy shop also called PoppetcraftsbyAnne. Do stop by and take a look x

Hi lovelies. Just wanted to let you know I've lost access to my Instagram account at the moment after getting a new phone.
Very frustrating 😕

It is lovely sometimes just to create for pleasure.

Pleased to say this new imagining of my Moon Gazing Hare is now available to order in my Etsy shop.
She comes complete with a choice of Tibetan Silver charm to bring positive energy to the recipient

Happy February lovelies 💓. Introducing a variation on the Moon Gazing Hare, with his ears pricked and a tilt of the head to one side. Let me know what you think - is it a keeper ?

SOLD !!
A little leisure felting, but I think he will be in my Etsy shop soon .

But despite my social media absence, I have kept my hand in. Commission work has just taken a long time to complete.
This gorgeous lady is now travelling to the USA.

Hi lovelies, I know I have almost totally absent this year - bit of an "annus horribilis" all round really, so felting and Etsy has taken a back seat.
But today I have revamped my sole listing with some new little creations - perfect stocking filler or Secret Santa gift. Please pop over to my Etsy shop and give it some love

Three more moon gazing hares ready to ship. The new delivery of spools are taller than usual, but I think they still work. And a first order for a pink ribbon wrap too 😍
Happy Saturday lovelies 😘

Excited to announce that commission slots are back in my shop: Custom order framed needle felted Pet portrait. https://etsy.me/3kDerx2

First Moon Gazing Hare of 2023 completed. I do enjoy making these little guys 😁.Available to order from my Etsy shop ( link in bio)

And now it looks more like a rabbit 🐇

Early stages of my latest commission. Haven't made one of these chaps for at least 4 years. Can you tell what it is yet ? 😆..

Spent an enjoyable couple of hours doing a Sophie Wheatley online workshop, to do a bit of felting just for me.
Back to Christmas orders tomorrow 😊

Beautiful Belle, needle-felted commissioned portrait.

This lady will be heading home tomorrow ❤️.
