Some New Completions

Happy Monday! Christmas on Main was a fun event. Sadly, I totally forgot my camera so I don’t have photos of all the wonderful things that were there. It was a small show, but very busy in the morning slowing down in the late afternoon.  I had a good day. I’ll be in Meadow Vista at the Beda Place’s Christmas Fair on Sunday, Dec. 8. I’ll put the flyer at the bottom of this post.

I have finished a few things over the last week as well as starting some new ones. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Roxie and her pet mouse were finished and sent off to their new home.

Myron is my smallest goblin baby ever. He is just barely two inches tall at the tippy top of his ear.

More Mice! I finished eight mice this week. (One of them is not in the photo as I sold it before I got pictures taken)

Bartholomew, the original boggling, sailed off to his new home some months ago. A new boggling is coming to Woodland Whimsy.

I hope you can come and see me if you live close.

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

Fun Show On Sunday

It seems that illness has finally departed from us here at Woodland Whimsy. Last week was not a fun one. This week there is a lot to look forward to. Thanksgiving, the anniversary of my arrival on the planet, and Sunday(which I guess is technically next week) I will be at Christmas on Main in Grass Valley.

See where it says Felted critters? That’s me. There are going to be some really great artists there. It would totally be worth the drive if you are within a couple of hours. I am so excited to be able to participate.

Why a chicken?

This is Chester Chicken. Now chickens are not normally something that I would think about making, but last year I made several. I did a show in Fair Oaks, California called the Chicken Festival. They encouraged everyone to have some sort of chicken for sale. Chester is my prototype. I did not sell a single chicken at that show. All of them have found homes since then though.

The real reason I wanted to write about chickens today is that yesterday my husband and I finished our new chicken coop. I have been missing fresh eggs so much since I moved away from the farm five years ago. This year my husband said I could get chickens if I wanted to. My girls are almost three months old. Were they every mad yesterday when I moved them from their current housing in to the new coop. They easily conquered the use of the ramp. I was a bit worried about that. I only had to put two of the seven into their little house when I closed the door last night. I thought I was going to have to make them all mad at me again. Here is a photo of the new coop and some of my girls.
