Hi everyone. I’m based in East Anglia in the UK and I’m brand new to needle felting. I’ve tried various crafts over the years to satisfy my creative outlet, but find knitting impossible, crochet stressful and sewing too daunting. My husband is fantastic at all three, so I needed to find my own craft and needle felting is it! It’s so easy to get going and I find it incredibly therapeutic after a busy day at work and running round after our five year old son. I’m hoping to pick up some hints and tips as I (hopefully) progress from absolute novice! Also, when things are more normal, I’d love to attend a course, so if anyone had any recommendations, let me know! I’ve included a photo of my first go...feedback is very welcome - I definitely need to work on the overall finish and the limbs! Thanks and I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Hi Leanne. He is wonderful and I agree with Ann....I’m sure you will find the Sarafina tutorials interesting. They are free, incredibly detailed and the tips you pick up will be really useful.
