Then and now! Windy castle visit today, we wound up hiding in the little visitors room to wait out the rain and saw this picture! I don't know how long ago this was taken but Scarborough Castle hasn't changed too much! (at Scarborough Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDaZisMhow/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I felt a bit sad yesterday so I slapped on my Epic Rainbow penguin pin and went for a walk... rainbows make everything better! #epicrainbowpenguinpin #rainbows #penguins #rainbowpenguins #pingame #enamelpins #penguinpins #rainbowpin https://www.instagram.com/p/Co9zRPWMeft/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm still busy building my new website... it takes all my brain power so I'm vewy vewy quiet! (Sssshhh I'm hunting cyber wabbits!) Slightly hampered by my inability to remember where the correct button is every time I log in and I keep deleting things by mistake! I accidentally published it then spent 45mins searching for an unpublish button. Little Peng is not helpful... but he has brought his tools! See you on the otherside! https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxEkKosfa7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This Valentine's Day please allowed me to present you with a small Toucan of my affection! Mr Felt got me a Hornbill... Read into that what you will! https://www.instagram.com/p/CooxycYs6v0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's been a funny old start to the year! This time last year I was up to ears in seagulls! Now I'm busy with Booby Birds! I'm struggling to get to grips with the new year (and we're already a month and a third in) and have been a little withdrawn while I focus on my latest project/building my new website/recover from the events of December. My instinct is to do everything all at once but I'm trying to be methodical! With that in mind I'm having a day to do my household chores and try and recuperate and do a little planning for next week. How's your Friday going? #needlefelter #craftlife #needlefeltedbird #seagull #kacaw #birdnerd #needlefeltedseagull #herringgull #craftersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CoexynKMgW9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Excuse me.. I'm having a bad hair day that no amount of Frizzease can cure! I'm still cute tho! #badhairday #owlbaby #needlefeltedowl #needlefelter #needlefeltingartist #floof #fluffyowl #crafting #craftersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CocVYqwMBi0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

There are some mugs you can't walk past! I needed a cheer up so I bought a jammie biscuit mug! Looks great, hard to drink from tho so it's going to contain penguins until I find a better use for it! https://www.instagram.com/p/CoXkajqsBgP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sparrows! They're everywhere and often overlooked. Little brown birds, squabbling in the hedges, bouncing about in the dead leaves all brown and drab. I love them tho, there are about 15 who live in the cracks above my window and boy are they noisey! In case you're wondering a group of sparrows is called a Host, I looked it up, a host as in an army! Watch it! They might get ya! #littlebrownbird #sparrow #needlefeltersofinstagram #felted #needlefelting #needlefeltedbird #craft #handmadebird #needlefeltingartist #birdnerd #birdwatching https://www.instagram.com/p/CoMcsj7sih8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello Lovely Folks out there in interwebs land! I have resumed international shipping, Royal Mail is now moving parcels overseas but only with Tracked and Signed services so International shipping is slightly more expensive than usual. I'll continue to keep you up to date on any developments and as soon as things return to normal I'll let you know. UK shipping is still free as always. I'm hoping this gets sorted quickly, as you can understand my business has taken a big hit. Things are a little wobbly so if I do overcharge on postage inadvertently I will refund any extra as soon as I post. #shippingupdate #royalmail #internationalshipping #penguinpost #penguin #needlefeltedpenguins #needlefelter #smallbizproblems https://www.instagram.com/p/CoKj2rsoWZI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just 2 days left to get your hands on these B👀bies! The Project finishes Feb 1st at 6pm. GMT. And then the real work begins... all the fun stuff, the making and the photographing. Check out the project on Kickstarter now https://www.instagram.com/p/CoDYm4-MN2Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Go follow this man! @steven.allender . Not only is he one of the nicest, kindest, sweetest human beings you will ever meet he is also funny and a very talented painter. He may also be 3 penguins in a coat but we can't verify this... his biscuit consumption suggests that I may be right. Further experiments to follow... may involve application of Trifle! https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAZPY5s7Tc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oh dear! Me and little peng have had to take a break from fixing the website due to the human (me) having an extreme reaction to antibiotics Little peng has offered to fix me with his hammer and said he will do the website but it suddenly seems all my images have been replaced with biscuits! And my laptop looks a little dented... I think we shall be postponing this endeavour until the human is more functional... but thanks for the input little peng! https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAMoSVsJUo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hup hup! Where my UK peeps at? So the Royal Mail debacle continues and I still can't ship Internationally so UK peeps where are you? In all seriousness I've temporarily removed International shipping from my shops... Royal Mail are working on the problem but the crushing anxiety of what happens if I get an overseas order is too much to bear. I've had to refund several orders which are probably just sat in a warehouse somewhere, everyone has been kind nd understanding but I'm at my wits end I need my business to get back to normal... or I'm off to work in tescos and nobody wants me out there in public! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn6hXjgsuUs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Feltmeupdesigns dot com is getting a redesign... I am busy building a new website. Its awful and yes I am using biscuits and hammers! I think threatening the laptop with a hammer will work don't you? https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4PIImMtc3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As well as making Blue-footed boobies I'm exploring the whole Booby family (for fun) did you know Gannets are related to Boobies? They're like the Northern version of Booby Birds. Ay-up! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn1s7nfMTDM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Big thanks to the 2 people who bought books today... because of you I could buy my hamster a heat pad that stays warm for 10 hours. My little buddy will be warm in the coldest weather! And the books will remind you of sunnier summer days! https://www.instagram.com/p/CnxSKz0sYVP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Half way thru the project to make 100 Blue-footed Booby Birds! I'm having lots of fun playing with poses and attempting to get them to "dance" on one leg (Mr Felt says they look like their farting but then he would) Head to my bio to find the project. It runs until February 1st so don't miss out! https://www.instagram.com/p/CnuFOFVsI8C/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
