Aw Thanks Everybody
Thank you times ten for the orders that have come in over the last few days. I have sold 6 corsages and a felted fish.
I will have to wait till New Year to fulfil my fantasy of being waist deep in felted orchids!
Not only that, the delectable Cherry Menlove from Tales of Pixie Wood is taking four of my felted bowls to a craft fair this weekend. To think my work will be in the company of people such as the wonderful Nonnie, I'm humbled. When I thought things couldn't get any better glossy Prudence magazine emailed to say they may feature some of my work in their Jan/Feb issue. I expected to send them a couple of work images, but today they contacted me to ask if I'll be home next week so a photographer can come and take shots of .... me. Oh crikey, I'm so excited about all the developments I don't know where to put myself! Well I do, I am putting myself in the chair of a good hairdresser asap.
congratulations!! this is all wonderful and YOU are MOST deserving!!

Your bowls are absolutely beautiful. I saw them last week when I visited Cherry to deliver my things. They really are amazing. Unfortunately lack of funds until pay day meant I had to restrain myself from buying one straight away but I will definitely have to have one at some point.

You are so beautiful Rebecca. The most wonderful smile, so kind and open. It's lovely to see a face so utterly happy.

Thanks everyone. You are all so sweet, except for the two lads who commented, you are obviously whatever the handsome manly equivalent of sweet, whatever that is!
Julie, trust the knitter to notice the hat. Cool isn't it! It belongs to my 3 year old, she threw it in a puddle so I put it on!
Moonwaves, I have quite a few free entry tickets to the RDS Craft Show. Email me your address and I'll send you a couple. Would be great to meet you.
Andy, I've always loved ceramics, my Dad taught me, he was a potter. A friend is building a ceramics studio, so I'm hoping to play there sometime soon!

HEY! well done Bek, thats good news! Its great to see everything taking off for you. How did the American thing go - did they take any of your items?
Like the ceramic fish - does that indicate you might be diversifying?
Two ovens in th ekitchen - dont put the weekend roast in the wrong one!

Well done you. I have to say I'm always very impressed with anyone who can make a go of making their money by doing something they love. It's wonderful that all your hard work is paying off.
I'm hoping to make it to the craft fair in the RDS so maybe I'll even get a chance to check out some of your work in person.
