Winter White


I am trying to get a wrap done every two days, but there has been a lot of LIFE getting in the way. I am not completely sure this one is done, but it's done enough to get a couple of quick photos while there is day light. No good shots to show of the back yet, but perhaps I'll have a change in a few days to get one for you. Thank you for popping in.
Felt Happy,

Scarfing it up!



Over the past few weeks, I've been working on writing proposals for teaching, adjusting to my daughter and Son-in-law living with us, assisting my husband recovering from cataract surgery, and have a terrible longing to make felt. Finally I had a chance and here are the results.  I am making them in white and then dyeing and over dyeing. Actually the red one was over dyed again, but no photos of that just yet.
Felt Happy!
Shalom,
Suzanne

Wisconsin Classes! Hat, Bag and Bird Pod!!!

Just a quick pop in to tell you about some upcoming classes in January 2015. I will be at Bahr Creek Llama and Fiber Studio, about 45 minutes north of Milwaukee, WI   It is one of my favorite places to teach, one because I love Brigitte and second, Wisconsin is like my second home because of the friends I've made there.  It's always great fun and lots of sharing. Can you join us? Information below.
 
Suzanne Higgs (Hooked on Felt) will once again be doing felting weekend at Bahr Creek, January 16, 17, and 18.

Friday, January, 16 9:30-5:00 will be the HAT CLASS. Making a hat in a workshop is one thing, but learning how to design hats for a lifetime is quite another. Learn to create a uniquely designed hat, how to make multiple designs, and how to design styles for your face shapes. If your goal is to just make one hat, don't miss this class either. So much fun!!! Class size limited to 10.

The PURSE WORKSHOP will be Saturday, January 17 9:30-5:00. In this workshop you will design your bag, create pockets, inside and outside if you wish. Endless possibilities in design works. class is limited to 10 so call early to reserve your spot in the class.

BIRD POD WORKSHOP, Sunday, January 18 9:30-5:00
About 8-9 years ago I made a rather large pod that still hangs outside of my home. Wrens nest in it every year. Since then, the felted bird pods have become a wonderful handmade item for bird lovers worldwide. In this workshop, you will design your pods, use many surface designs elements and you will be working with Finn wool, due to its sturdiness. These are great for yard ornamentation, and unique gifts. The first time you see the wrens in the pod, it is a wonderful thrill!!

email demaster@bahrcreek.com or call 920-668-6417 to reserve your spot in the class. I will send you a complete list of what to bring and more info on the class
