Woolie Warbler Ornaments

I have wanted to make carolers for a long time...finally made some, but my original design got influenced by my research into various singing faces....these are what I came up with...and I like them a lot...These are the ornament version...I am also planning a stand alone version....but that might be a few weeks before I will have tIme to do the prototypes...stay tuned here and to my Woven Dimensions FB page for updates!!

My Next Event - COMING UP NEXT WEEKEND!!

FINALLY got my prototype Torch Ornaments felted! Each one about 6" high, so you can hold it in your hand too! Limited availability!! 

What's in a name? Knittany Lion Ornaments

What's in a name? Knittany Lion Ornaments....my lion ornaments aren't just Lion Ornaments - I call them my Knittany Lion Ornaments because I am a Penn State Alum.....But because using the words Nittany Lions (could) get me in trouble, I used the next best thing, a homonym of Nittany - KNITTANY....which fits because the lion is knitted before it is felted!

What's in a Name? Old McOinker and Ham McOinker

What's in name? Old McOinker and his brother Ham!! The McOinker family came on the scene in 2012...While setting up my booth at the Indiana Artisan show, I noticed that my farm scene was lacking a legit farmer...so I came home and whipped up a farmer pig...Complete with (felted) straw hat and overalls!! I made 3 and took them along and sold them all!! So thinking about Old McOinker's farm....he needed a hired hand...so I made him one, who happened to be his brother - Ham McOinker! Ham has red suspenders and a JD Green hat!! Old McOinker is married to Sowly McOinker....she isn't the typical farmer's wife...she wears a purple dress and pearls to milk the cows!! She has yet to make her show debut....hopefully that will be soon....

What's in a name? Sammy Dino Ornament

Sammy Dino Ornament

What's in a name? These are my

Sammy Dino Ornaments....named and

inspired by my nephew Sam Berger's 

Dino sketches when he was 5 years 

old...He drew 100's of little

T-Rex dinos...with short arms and flat 

faces on the head...So I made a felted  

version...in many color combos...Last 

year at a show I was telling a customer 

the story of the name for this ornament 

and another customer in my booth 

overheard the story and loved it so 

much, she had to buy one!!

I usually have 1 or 2 at shows....so 

look for Sammy's Dinos on my fun and 

fantasy tree!

What's in a Name? More than you might realize....

What's in a name? Have you ever noticed what the 'official' name of some of my ornaments are? (it is listed on the tag if you still have that attached). Some of my things have basic names...Cow Ornament, Horsey Ornament, Mermaid Ornament...etc...But some others have more interesting names....I will share the stories of how I came up with some of the names...and if I have met you at a show, you may already know some of these stories...

The first one I am going to feature is the original 'Pig" ornament...(shown below). The 'Pig' ornaments were one of the very first 3-D (aka stuffed and not flat) ornaments I made back in 2006. The official name is 'Becca's Piggie Ornament', named for my friend's daughter Becca who was born in 2005 and LOVED piggies practically from the day she was born! (And she still loves piggies!) Becca has one of the first ones I ever made and also a few piglets too!!
