Thanks! I enjoyed making him. Needle felted things kinda just come alive under your hands.

Its good to have other creative hobbies to turn to. This is adorable and so fuzzy! So when do you think you'll make some fuzzy dragon bumblebees? ;D

Oooooh! I hadn’t thought about doing that, but you have now planted an idea I will obsess about until I figure out how to do it!!! Thank you for a new project to mull over! And new supplies to buy...❤️❤️❤️

Thanks! I like needle felting—but I kind of do it in waves... I can’t do it all the time—i get impatient!

My pleasure and I see, it takes patience to create something from nothing. I bet drawing or painting its way more easy, but in a way that's a struggle too. ^^

I wouldn’t say it’s easier to draw or paint—in fact the reason this monkey is here is because I’m struggling with a monthly challenge piece. I finally got the pencil sketch done, but this one is hard and I don’t know why. So, a monkey.

Excellent needle felting Alexis.  My daughter loves to felt. Why are you having drawing frustration?

Oh, I’ve been sketching the same challenge the last several days and I’m struggling—I’m working in a smaller scale and I am having trouble with the size and my idea seems to be too complex. I don’t know whether I’ll be able to, but I’m going to try and push through it, but the sketch alone has been taking hours! (And thanks!)

I understand your dilemma.  I often have a idea that I struggle to get on paper. My ideas often are greater than my skill set. I do the same as you. I push through it. I don't like  being a quitter either.
