Westhampton United Methodist Church Arts and Crafts Sale


This evening I did the majority of my setting up for this sale tomorrow. After setting up I of course came home and made a few more items! I am sharing a table with my friend Jane who has beautiful cards, tags, jewlery, journals and artwork for sale. I am happy with my little corner of the table. It's my first sale and I have worked really hard to get ready for it and to build up some stock. Whatever is not sold will go up on the etsy shop tomorrow after the sale. I have taken the shop off of vacation mode as of this evening.

Thanks to Jane for letting me share the table with her.


The sale is at Westhampton United Methodist Church 6100 Patterson Ave. Richmond, VA from 9:00 AM-2:00 PM.





DS and I are planning to be there all day. Come and say hi...and maybe give one of my creations a good home!

Felted pictures


I made this picture especially for my son, so it is not for sale, however, I am itching to do some more of them. They measure about 12 x12 and are needle felted wool roving on a piece of wool felt.


If you have an idea of something you would like, run it by me. We can determine a subject/colors. Price will depend on how involved and labor intensive the item is. If I were to sell one like this, it would probably be about $25.00.






This winter scene is one I created for sale for around $35.00.



This fall tree is also for sale for $35.00.

Felted Cars

These cars are needle felted out of wool roving and have wooden wheels. They come in coupe, sedan and pick-up truck styles. Contact me with the color and style you would like.

First Arts and Crafts Festival

I am currently working on stock for the Westhampton United Methodist Church's Fall Arts and Crafts Festival on October 3, 2009 from 9-2.

My hope is to at least have felted acorns, felted balls, felted coffee cup cozies, some felted children's crowns. I would also like to possibly have some little knit gnomes, felted cars, and felt pictures made up for that day but we will see how much I get done. Hope to see you there!
