What a good weekend! And it's not over yet...there is still more needlin' to do this afternoon.
My fingers have been so itchy every time I've had to break from the felting for the last few days...to say, do laundry.
Make some lunch.
Pack & ship orders.
Dratted chores! I love you and need you but...
Well, the fact is that you're standing between me and fuzzy bunnies. And that will never do. Bunnies like this one:
and these:
Oh...and I seem to be forgetting a little someone!
It's feeling like this place around here these days.
I watched a couple of movies this weekend...one super-bad one at the cineplex with my Jenny that doesn't-even-deserve-linking to, and Leon, aka The Professional. Why didn't anyone (this means you, boyfriend) warn me? I loved it, but it is. so. SAD.
Thanks for all the skunky-love! And for inquiring minds, these little guys will be part of a big, fun shop update (which will be heavy on dolls + creatures, and a little lighter on the paintings probably). A nice change of pace. Huzzah for creatures!

I better start saving my pennies!
Mama Urchin · February 25, 2007 at 03:42 PM
I just love the bunnies! I have 3 favorites; they are the first, second, and the white one with red eyes! Wish I could hang out and watch you make them, so that I'd know how to make these, too. :) My two-year-old daughter would love one.
Looks like a great change of pace, making these creatures and dolls. What a great way to make a living!

I love the little fella with the orange top, really beautiful.
sarah · February 25, 2007 at 04:06 PM

Vicki · February 25, 2007 at 04:39 PM
Those are the sweetest things ever!
Qiana · February 25, 2007 at 05:16 PM
Those little guys are so, poke-your-eyes-out cute I can't stand it. I love how the first two look like they're cocking their little heads.
Cara · February 25, 2007 at 05:17 PM
Oh, these critters are oh so very cute! Little wonder you didnt want to be interupted! Why dosent the world stop when we are crafting - would be nice =)
Melly · February 25, 2007 at 05:30 PM
Oooh!!! Too cute!
These creations of yours really inspire me to put needle felting on my things to learn list!
ismoyo · February 25, 2007 at 05:42 PM
I love these. It's great how they all seem to have their own personalities. You've totally inspired me to get a kit and try some felting myself!
sheryl · February 25, 2007 at 06:15 PM
hold crap those bunnies are cute. especially their outfits.
jen b · February 25, 2007 at 06:27 PM
Oh my!!! It looks like you're just having waaay too much fun with your new-found craft! ;) I just love all of these; the bunnies especially. So, so, cute!
Casey · February 25, 2007 at 07:08 PM
So very very cute :)
Lissy · February 25, 2007 at 07:38 PM
OOhhh, how completely adorable!! I love and want them all!!
Teresa Sheeley · February 25, 2007 at 07:46 PM
Ohmygod the bunnies! They are sooooooooooooo cute! Eeeee!!! I love them! And their little outfits? So sweet!
And about Leon/The Professional, I kinda thought that Mathilda would be right up your alley. She's a bit reminiscent of the lovelies you paint.
Maritza · February 25, 2007 at 08:23 PM
The bunnies are gorgeous!
I dislike it when you get right into doing something and you have to stop. Of course there are some necessary evils we have to stop for, but sometimes it can get frustrating.
Really love those bunnies
Tatania · February 25, 2007 at 08:28 PM
I could just pass out because they are just too cute. I was unable to get the the website were ya'll brought the supplies. So is there anyway you can post it again. I would love to make some Doxies.
Alice · February 25, 2007 at 08:51 PM
These little guys are so cute! I have never tried needle felting before, but you are inspiring me to give it a go :)
Sweet Pea · February 25, 2007 at 08:54 PM
I love them. There are so wonderful!!!
Vanessa · February 25, 2007 at 09:33 PM
Great little critters! Thought of you watching the Oscars as Pan's Labyrinth seems to be cleaning up and I heard of that movie first on your blog ;) Have a great day. Melissa
Melissa · February 25, 2007 at 10:26 PM
I have also recently picked up needle felting and I am so addicted! Where do you get you roving?
I LOVE your rabbits! They are too cute in their little clothes.
Christie · February 25, 2007 at 10:34 PM
Just love the critters ...and you just started this craft - WOW! Well done !!!
Jodie · February 25, 2007 at 11:02 PM
I don't know what I love more: their shirts, their ears or those tiny, tiny feet! What an adorable little forest you have going!
RAchelle · February 26, 2007 at 12:17 AM
i just have to have the black one! i have a real black bunny named dizzy and she looks just like that! they are all so adorable!!
jill · February 26, 2007 at 12:28 AM
Crap! I am a sucker for all things squirrel! Also, I feel that way about 'Dancer in the Dark'--it is so lovely but I can't bring myself to watch it a second time because it's so horrifically sad. I cried so hard I got the hiccups!
Cirilia · February 26, 2007 at 01:21 AM
You were definitely born with a highly evolved ability to make anything cute. Those outfits!
Helen · February 26, 2007 at 01:30 AM
SOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!
where do you get that felty stuff from?

They're fab! (especially the one with the red top). You seem to be so prolific at making your creations, well done you!
Cat · February 26, 2007 at 07:40 AM
oh emily! those bunnies are just adorable. i couldn't help but yell, "ohhhhh!" out loud when i saw them. and i keep looking back. if i were you i wouldn't be able to get anything done. i would just want to play with bunnies all day long. i wonder if they will reproduce as fast as the bunnnied in the pet store i pass on my way to work? everyday it seems like there are 100 more bunnies in there.
risa · February 26, 2007 at 08:52 AM
wow, you're some kinda quick study, huh? i can't believe you've only been doing this for, what, 4 days now?
i love them all!
Diane Duda · February 26, 2007 at 09:00 AM
the bunnies are adorable as they come...though I have a weakness for bunnies as well as foxes, or little dogs with a "foxy face".
I am dying to know what movie you saw that was so bad you didn't even want to mention it!!!!!!
stilettoheights · February 26, 2007 at 09:03 AM
Must stalk the bunnies! Must have one for the nursery!! :O)
Leon ripped my heart out BIG time! I did not see that coming and was an absolute mess!
Jenny Rebecca · February 26, 2007 at 09:15 AM
I had the most bizarre dream in which felted skunks wore crowns and tu-tus and eerily danced in a circle, like ring around the rosies. And, I think since the folklore about said song scares me, it turned into a bit of a scary yet interesting dream. And, there was a mean queenish clown. Have you placed the little crown I crafted on Mr. Mouse? I think we would love to see him in all his pomp and glory living the Emily Life with all the critters!! Yipee!!!
Vanessa · February 26, 2007 at 09:58 AM
gasp!!!
Did you needlefelt while watching the red carpet last night? No Exene, but good people watching, no?
Blair · February 26, 2007 at 09:58 AM
You are a superb marketer and writer of blogs...smile
Also, loved the Grey Gardens-I want to be a "Staunch Character"! I also rented Brideshead Revisited-set in WW2 with a young Jeremy Irons-it's an old PBS series from the '80's.
Julie Brunner · February 26, 2007 at 10:44 AM
just lovely, emily.
kerry : k8tykat · February 26, 2007 at 10:51 AM
Oooh, my fingers are itching, too! How will I ever catch up to you now? You might as well go ahead and make me a dunce cap...
Sara K. · February 26, 2007 at 11:59 AM
So fun!!! Love the cute little bunnies!!!
tiffany · February 26, 2007 at 01:43 PM
i am in love with these bunnies!
i want one!!
Tricia · February 26, 2007 at 01:51 PM
Is it strange to say that I'd love to be friends with you, because you're absolutely awesome.
It seems everything you touch turns to gold, or in your case everything you touch turns to mind-boggingly adorableness.
I love the first little bunny best, he's so chubby and stylish.
Nicole · February 26, 2007 at 01:54 PM
The bunnies are so cute!
chantal · February 26, 2007 at 01:59 PM
oh my gosh...these are adorable!! my favorite is the little guy with shirt and tie. love!!!
i have been wanting to try needle felting for soooo long and actually have a ton o' supplies to do so, but..for now, it's tacked onto the list of "thing I must create now!" along with 1,000 others.
if only we had all the time in the world!
excited to see more felted creatures from you. :)
.♥.

Hi Ems.......my real life bunny BINDI says hi. Check her out on my blog....she sends carrot cuddles your way. Love Michelle
Michelle Parrish · February 26, 2007 at 03:01 PM
I LOVE your style and your Art!!! I can't wait to own a piece someday. How do I join your mailing list to know when you list these little darlings for sale? Please email me and let me know.
They are all beyond CUTE!
Blessings,
Michelle
Michelle · February 26, 2007 at 03:39 PM
CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE! I LOVE the bunny in the green jacket.
Cheers
katie · February 26, 2007 at 04:12 PM
i might just have to commission a few of those squirrels for my shop. Are you interested?
Am I still planning you for a show in November? I really need a firm update as to what you think.
kind regards!
Jessica · February 26, 2007 at 04:32 PM
I love these so much! Just like everyone else - so I went to the library to find books on needle felting - no use.....I went to Barnes and Noble and found a magazine :
Craft: transforming traditional crafts
It is so cool and has a felted bowl of fruit on the cover! Craftzine.com
I hope I can figure this out and make some of those bunnies myself....
Thanks for the inspiration!
Melanie · February 26, 2007 at 05:49 PM
Ummm... you gonna be selling these little darlings??? I am in LOVE with the squirrel!!! I have a mild (well HUGE) obsession (a healthly one of course) with squirrels.
They are all so cute. :)
Keep up the good work you craft-diva!!
XOXOXOX

artandghosts · February 26, 2007 at 09:55 PM
And they have such dandy little ensembles as well. Tres cute.
kiwi · February 27, 2007 at 09:40 AM
I just happened upon your blog/website. I love the way you write. Gonna add you to my faves.
Rhonda · February 27, 2007 at 12:09 PM
Hi Emily. Can you talk about the felt kit and needle that you recently came across..like where did you get it etc..does it come with instructions on how to make the critters?
thanks.
sally.
sally. · February 27, 2007 at 08:39 PM
These are really adorable!
nimbleknot · March 08, 2007 at 10:47 PM
This is the first time I hear about needle felting, I guess I'll have to start a new hobby, if I want to make cute fellows like this!
Never seen anything as cute...
