There is going to be a big change here at Apulina next year as I am expecting twins!
I hope to get back to felting as soon as I can, but I think I will have my hands full for a while to say the least! I won't be able to accept commissions from the start of next year, so if there is something felty you have your eye on then try to get in touch before Christmas.
The run up to Christmas has already proved very busy. I went to the South Coast Makers market last weekend, which was very popular and well organised! I recommend looking out for their future events in Bournemouth. Next weekend (1st-2nd December) I will be at the Dorset Team Christmas Craft Fair in Wimborne. This is a brilliant event with quality arts and crafts on offer. You can probably get all your Christmas shopping done in one!
My Etsy shop has also been very busy, with baubles being a big hit, including my snowmen families where you can request a snowman family to match your own in a glass bauble. I have also been making lots of 3D dog portraits. I will share photos of those after Christmas so as not to spoil any surprises!
Don't forget to order you colour in weather tree calendar if you want one. These are a great gift if you are stuck on a purchase for someone, whether adult or child. You simply colour in a leaf every day to record the weather (or other daily event). It is a lovely way to stay in touch with nature.
That's all for now. I hope you and your family have a peaceful Christmas / Yule / Hannukkah / seasonal period!
