Your studio looks absolutely fabulous! I have significant wallpaper envy! I’m so glad you are sharing your world with us.
Aaah, thank you, that's really lovely (and encouraging) to hear, could only afford one roll of the wallpaper but really pleased with it ❣️
All your felts look amazing! And those hares turned out so well! You are such a great teacher Philippa!
Thank you so much, very kind of you 😊
I look forward to your blog every month. Watching your progress over time has been so encouraging. Oh Peter Rabbit is trademarked. I felting a giraffe as a gift for a work colleague.
Giraffes look difficult, I haven't tried one yet, hope it's going well, I was sure Peter Rabbit should be trademarked, thanks x
Dearest Piipa!
Thank you for shating the ups AND downs of being on online feltingbivon and businesswoman.
We love you, your content & your wee doggies, and we have faith in you! So sorry to hear about the creepy Facebook incidents. Ugh!
Thank you so much, lovely to have you here, really appreciate your comment 😊 xx
Love your new room decor. Thank you for sharing your felt world , I’m inspired by your wonderful animals and now the pictures but I seem to lack the self discipline to progress beyond my very simple staring projects. I will continue to look forward to you videos and on day start the Hare instructions I recently purchased from you. Keep up the excellent work.
Thank you, you definitely have to push yourself sometimes to do a new felt, I was like that with hares for ages. The pictures are proving to be fun and very different, really enjoying them, thanks so much for watching and commenting ❣️ x
Love the cows! I am so new to all of this and really appreciate all you take the time to share with us!
Thank you so much, lovely to have you here x
I just finished a small dog, a Spring Fairy, several birds, and a sly fox. :) Love the scenery where you live and your adorable dogs.
So many felts, excellent! The sly fox sounds interesting, thanks for watching ❣️
I love your studio vlogs with your ups and downs as a professional needle felter. I love your green walls, very spring like. Right now I am preparing for craft shows here in Canada, and am needle felting a little mousie band.
Fantastic, lovely to hear about other people preparing for craft shows, I really hope it goes well, thanks for watching and commenting ❣️
Another wonderful Studio Vlog. All the best for all ur endeavours..there are ups n downs but dont let them being u down. I was felting a little mouse while watching your video 😊.❤
Aah, lovely, your mice are so very cute, yes, I have to see it as more time to felt instead of exhibiting and all the work that would go with it, thanks for watching ❣️
Love the wallpaper. Lots of inspiration for felting in it.
Yes, definitely what I was aiming for, thanks for watching ❣️
Your brilliant and so generous with your tutorials. Xxx
Thank you ❣️
I love the look of your redecorated studio, Pippa. It's good to see what you've been up to. Your sheep and cows are so big compared to the things I make, it always makes me smile. I'm still busy doing hedgehogs at the moment. Sorry you didn't get in to Yarndale but maybe next year. Hope to see you there as a visitor anyway 😊
Yes definitely meet up, looking forward to it, fingers crossed for next year. I'm really enjoying the studio but it was an effort to get everything in and out! Hope you are well and catch up soon x
Hi Philippa, wow I just love the wall paper, and love that green. Love your youtube chanel
Thanks, I think it's nice, only did a small wall but think that's enough and I'm really enjoying the green, thanks for watching ❣️
Studio looks great - love the colour!
Thanks, I'm really enjoying it x
Your studio redo is awesome! Since you asked; I am felting a Jack Russell Terrier as a bit of an ode to my 13 year old pup. It's miniature though...about 2 inches tall
Thank you and so sweet, love Jack Russell's, hope it's going well, thanks for watching ❣️
Philippa I adore you, love watching you and learning from you. And I love all the super big projects you do. I watch you from Dearborn Michigan USA. I hope you never stop doing what you do for all of us, biggest hugs from me to you :) You just asked what are we felting, so I edited and came back to this comment to tell you, I'm doing a 2D seascape. Houses, the sea, penguins and a sailboat. Half way done :)
That seascape sounds beautiful, yes, I do hope it comes out well. Thank you for being so positive and encouraging, it means a lot as I never know what people really think of my simple studio vlogs. Lovely to have people watching from so far afield too, take care and a big thank you ❣️xx
As always, I am needle felting gnomes. They are 10 inches tall, on a wood slice and decorated. The little cuties are popular. But, I have a desire for some time to make a goddess. You are an inspiration and I appreciate all that you share.
Oooh, interesting, I have ordered some wood slices but I think I will do mushrooms, gnomes are super cute. Thanks so much for watching and commenting ❣️
I love love love your room it is wonderful. I love ALL your creations ...the Highland cow Kit made me laugh , when you sat it next to yourt Amazing Felts . I love Humpfry. Very Much.... We Moved housde 3 weeks ago, Monday Night,I got my PC Back ......Whoop Whoop. I have not felted at all since February. I love your content. Sounds like you got scammed I am really glad FB Stepped up and sorted it. .......So sorry about yearndale. xxxxx it is sad, however something better will come around xxxxxx Happy felting xxxxxx
Thanks so much and heat you are all moved in, hopefully back to felting soon x
Your dogs are so cute! I had three dachshunds. We lost one last year…. Always sad but our youngest is 1!
So short brought me to your page. This week ( late March 2023)
Excellent, it works, thanks 😊 x
Good luck with everything Philippa. 😊
Thank you so much xx
Hi Philippa! Thanks for this months vlog. I enjoy watching all the videos, there is always something I can learn. Some time ago you did a video about needle felting books. I bought the one you showed, written by Fi Oberón. You were right. It is a lovely book and I am happily making a penguin!
Would like to send a picture but don’t know how.❤
Great job on the office redo, I love the wallpaper! I’m getting ready for New Hampshire Sheep and Wool festival that’s next month. Still lambing, 2 sets of triple Teeswaters born this week.
Wow, triplets, fantastic news, hope wool festival goes well, it's always exciting but very busy times xx
Thank you Philippa for another great vlog ❤️your room looks great and I love the wallpaper so much! Glad you are feeling more on top of things now😊 I ordered the book your showed a couple months back with the penguins on the cover, and just finished the mamma penguin, she is adorable! Think I’ll make a baby next! Yarndales loss for sure, you are the BEST! Much love, Vicki from Ohio (USA).
Hi Vicki, thanks so much! Glad you liked the book, there's so many lovely felts to make from that book, shame about Yarndale but fingers crossed for next year, thanks so much for watching and commenting ❣️ xx
Love the new decor look. I have just started on my brown hare Harriet😊
Excellent, I hope she goes well, let me know if you have any questions xx
Beautiful items. You are talented lady. I have not been felting lately, but do plan to return to it when life allows. Thank you for sharing your channel.
That's very kind and a big thank you for watching, it really helps the channel x
Thanks for sharing your work. I always enjoy seeing what you are up to. I really love the standing sheep with horns. It's one of your best creatures in my opinion but maybe that's just because I am a bit partial to sheep. 🐑 Hope you have a great day and a lovely week ahead. ♥
Thank you, yes, I think he is one of my better ones too, just a few things to work on with him, thanks so much for watching and enjoying it as I'm never sure what my content is like xx
Hi Philippa, just finished watching your March blog and your newly decorated room is fabulous👍🏻. Working so hard it must be a calming oasis for you to work in. Disappointing about Yarndale but everything happens for a reason and I’m sure it will happen in its time😊. I’m excited about the possibility of a workshop. Would it be face to face ? Try not to let yourself reach burn out, I’m aware what that feels like. You are such an inspiration not only to me but it seems to many people judging by the comments, so be encouraged, you are wonderful 😊❤️🌻
Hi Valarie, love your comments, you are so supportive. Yes, I think you are right about Yarndale, it's kind of nice not having to worry about it so I can relax a bit. Yes, the workshops would be in person, only one or two to try it out but still planning and thinking about things, thanks for being here and watching ❣️xx
Just love, love, love your wallpaper!!! The whole room looks so comfy and calming. I really the way you show us your life, projects, and upcoming calendar (shows, buying supplies, etc.). Thank you for your dedication!
That's so lovely to hear as I never know if it's interesting or just boring but I like watching other studio vlogs. I'm really enjoying the wallpaper and new room, thanks for watching ❣️
I've just found you,and I'm so impressed! I would never be able to make anything, but I love your stuff x
Thank you, it's only before I have practised a lot, needle felting takes so much time, thanks for watching ❣️
Your room is so lovely! Good job!
Great vlog Pippa. The room looks fabulous. Im going to Wonderwool Wales, first time at anything like it so really looking forward to it.😊
Excellent, I might see you there, think I am on the Saturday, hopefully it's a good event, my first time at that one x
Eek! Your office looks wonderful! Beautiful green color! I think a virtual workshop like the Lady Moth does would be a great way to teach and you would rock it! Your zoom calls were so nice and it would be pretty much the same but everyone would be working on the same project at the same time with you teaching. Anyway, just a thought, you’re doing great! Keep it up! I love your videos and getting a glimpse into your cozy life! Thanks for everything you do
Thank you, yes, it's a thought to do a zoom tutorial, definitely much easier for people, still not sure so trying to work it all out. Glad you like the green, it's so much more cosy, love your comment and thanks for watching ❣️
I’m about to get into Needle Felting! I’m excited ^^ I’m nervous though , but I think this would be a nice relaxing experience for me :3
It definitely is, hope you enjoy it x
I love your new work space. And really enjoy the studio vlogs!!! Currently I’m doing 2D pictures
Lovely, I am really enjoying them too, thanks for watching x
Your new workspace came out beautiful! I really love that mini Highland cow. Sorry you didn't get into Yarndale. I would love to be able to attend in person one day but it's a bit of a ways for me to get there since I live in New Mexico, USA. haha! I'm currently working on a sea turtle as well as a 2D painting with sunflowers. I do want to try making a sheep soon. Lastly, I think it's wonderful that you do your best to reply to comments. I would be the same way if I had a business. It just makes people feel appreciated.
Thank you, yes, New Mexico would be a bit of a journey! I did a turtle once a long time ago, I think the shell detail took forever, thanks so much for watching and glad you appreciate my replies 😊 xx
Love that wallpaper!! I hate decorating I've had new wallpaper waiting to go up for years. I daren't look at the receipt and see how long it's actually been shoved under my bed waiting!! I'm following your highland cow bauble tutorial at the moment if it looks a fraction as good as yours I'll be very happy 😁
Aaah, thank you, yes, wallpaper was a bit of a challenge and it was only a tiny section! Hope you Highland cow comes out OK x
Wondeful job on the office!
Hope the bulk order works out!
Right now I am felting a Gnome-House since my first one sold at the shop where I got a shelf.
First snail I made sold too, I already made a new one. Planning on making a few different ones. There are so many options, luckily.
One of my bigger sheep (that I made with the help of your tutorials) sold, too.
Still nothing going on Etsy, but last month was all over the place so I could not focus on much. (first I broke my foot, then my father died, so I had to travel to Germany for the funeral... I think people can understand that my business had to take a backseat)
Anyway, I am having a hard time thinking of "summer-y" things to felt. Strawberries are always an option, but I thougth I'd start with crazy pineapples with sunglasses and cocktails in their hands or something :D I am more for the comic-style things than realisitc figurines, so that sounds like a good option for me. And I have not seen them done anywhere.
I also bought little cages the other day, to put small animals in. Maybe bears or something. (birds would be the obvious choice but I think they'd be too wide) I got three cages, so I'll probably make three different ones.
The bookmarks I make help me get better when I work on smaller things. That's still my weak spot. But I see improvement already.
I want to do more 2D felting as well. I have the frames, just need to decide what to try...
With everything that's happened it's good I have felting to distract myself. Even if I don't feel like creating something specific I just sit down and make basic shapes for later use. (e.g. ovals for animal bodies, balls for heads etc. I have a small box with different felted shapes and when I get inspired I don't have to start from scratch, which can be nice :) )
Anyway. I hope you'll have a great month!
Take it easy :)
Hi Chloe, thanks so much, sorry to hear about your Dad and felting can be a huge escape. It sounds like you are doing really with your sales and felts, so many different ideas. Thanks for your tip on the shoe containers, I really like them, I hope you have a better month and take care xx
Hello Philippa. I just wanted to share with you what an inspiration you have been for me. I have been felting only about 12 weeks, but I am truly addicted addicted and totally totally committed. I love to tune in to you. It's like visiting an old friend. Thank for your channel and sharing your talents.
Aah, thank you! That's just so lovely to hear and it's great to have you here. I hope you are enjoying your needle felting journey and thanks so much for watching ❣️
I’m a beginner felted. I have bought the Heidifeathers eco felting kit on your recommendation. I’m enjoying it but I need to practice a lot more. I also have your Highland Cow kit. Thanks for your videos.
Thank you so much for watching and yes, practice really, really helps xx
Oh my! How you cope and still find time to make videos AND fill orders is amazing. Love your new look studio with the awesome wall paper. A big fan from Canada 😊
Hi! Lovely to have people from so far and wide! Yes, always so much to do but keeps me busy, thanks for watching ❣️ xx
I just love your channel! Thank you! ♥️
Thank you ❣️
@@feltsbyphilippa you’re welcome! ☺️
Ohh Pippa- I’m sorry about Yarndale. One thing though- my husband is a professional oil painter and we’ve been doing art fairs for 20 years. We’ve been turned down many times for shows. Many times it’s because they had so many entries for oil painters and not because he’s not a good painter. Your work is fabulous and you have a definite voice. Don’t give up! 😊
Your studio looks fabulous! Very serene. Green must be the trend- I just did our main rooms in the house green. It’s calming and natural.
I’m curious about the poppy 2-D and you outlining the poppies with thread- why did you choose thread rather than wool for the outline? Nice job!
Finally, re Patreon- if you felt a weight lifted from your shoulders, it was the right choice IMHO.
HAPPY FELTING! I’ve had to put mine away for the warmer months- it’s gardening season and I can’t do both, or they’ll both suffer. Take care❤
Hi Sherry, that's really reassuring to hear about applications, I will definitely try next year, thank you. Yes, green does seem to be the colour and it's really transformed my room, I am super happy with it. With regards the poppies, I just wanted something quick and easy, sewing is that bit faster but wool would work perfectly too. I am definitely feeling better having stopped Patreon, it is a weight and it just helps me move forward with other things in my business. Thanks for your helpful and encouraging comment and for watching xx
Love your herdwicks, love your poppy picture, and LOVE your newly decorated studio! Sorry about Yarndale Pippa, but I'm sure you'll get in next year. Thanks as always for sharing your month with us 😊 xx
Thanks so much Belle, fingers are crossed for Yarndale next year, hope you are well and catch up soon xx
I'm sorry you didn't get into yarndale, but maybe next year! Just think about how much you'll improve in the meantime. 😊 You'll surely blow them away!
😮
I adore that big sheep. Please don't take this the wrong way, but he reminds me of those cute door stops/holders. I've always wanted one of a cute animal that just sits there looking cute, keeping your door open. But I have pets and that'd be bad. Especially if it was made of real wool. 😂
Also, good for you! If Patreon was causing more stress than anything, and you can still stay in contact with your friends, then that's great. I'm happy for you, especially since it sounds like it was starting to burn you out, and that's not good! We enjoy your videos, even the "boring" ones because we are interested in the hobby and you! So thanks for sharing! ❤
Love your thinking and yes, hopefully next year! I feel that sheep is a doorstop too, it's just sold at my craft fair so that's really good.
Sorry, got interrupted, yes, feeling much better having let Patreon go, I can't do it all and felt the edges of burnout starting. Thanks so much for your kind words and for commenting, means alot xx
Btw the studio looks awesome ❤ love the colors and the wallpaper ❤
Love your videos. Thank you
Thanks for watching ❣️
Another lovely monthly update from you, the room looks amazing. I don’t know how you do everything you do. Could I ask what the stripped, for the want of a better word 🤔wool is that you used on the sleepy cows, I love making them and looking for something other than wow ice and fire. Take care of yourself 😊💕
Hi, thank you so much, that blend is from The Threshing Barn, it's called Old Barn Door but she does some other amazing colours x
Wonderful video! You are so inspiring, it’s such a busy time of year of me - every year, but I always feel as though I’m coming away from needle felting when work gets in the way. A video like this brings me right back, thank you!! Another round of daffodils here!! Have a lovely day. ❤
Thanks so much Shamma, it can feel like that for me too, always looking for more time to felt, loving your flower work xx
@@feltsbyphilippa Thank you xoxoxox
Sorry to hear you didn’t get into Yarndale have you thought about craft in the pen at Skipton 18th and 19th November, we love that show, all like minded people there. I’m sure you would do very well with your kits and felties. Tickets much cheaper for the visitors.
It's definitely one I thought about and I hope to visit it this year and check it out as a possible for next year, great to hear you like it though, thanks so much xx
Your work is great. I could watch you for hours! I especially love the pictures. You say that you are not artistic but you can certainly blend colours. Needle felting was going to be my new hobby after you inspired me but I hate it. Absolutely loathe it😂😂. I wonder if I bought a kit and followed the instructions I would get somewhere? Still, my objects make me laugh when I look at them. I have to call them objects as they certainly don't look like anything! I have gone back to things I can do....
Ah well, at least you had a go, was the wool carded, that's all as sometimes it's not you, it's the needles and wool. Thanks for being here though and for watching xx
@Felts by Philippa I ordered it from World of Wool and had it sent to my daughter. There was quite a lot! When I came over I brought it back with me. I need to practice more. My main problem I think was getting it firm enough. I went to look for my invoice to check what I had bought but couldn't find it. I couldn't find my needles either. I am over in September and will go to their shop. Unfortunately back before Skipton but next year perhaps.
Your office looks great, I love that colour scheme.
I am doing Lennon the Llama from World of wool at the moment, building up its body is taking forever!
Thank you, yes, the building of the body certainly took longer than in the book, hope he comes out well xx
Keep on the great work! It's very inspiring! 💖
Thanks so much Vania ❣️
Nice to see you, Pippa; always enjoy your catch ups. Regarding shorts - I don’t understand why they’re such a “thing” lately? Is it because attention spans are getting that short? Personally I’m not a fan and delete almost all without watching. Although my time is limited, I look to RUclips to learn from artists/creators I admire, so I prefer longer videos than 30 seconds. Anyway, just my two cents! On another note, I ordered Jaana’s landscape book on your recommendation - it arrives tomorrow! I just spent several days at a ski lodge while my sons took ski lessons over spring break, and I spent much of my time doing 2D landscapes. Like you, I consider myself to be “artistically challenged,” but I do enjoy the 2D projects. And sorry to hear about Yarndale. 😔 Perhaps it’s a blessing to not have that added to your plate right now? (Looking for the bright side…) Have a lovely April!
Hi Jill, yes, shorts are RUclips's answer to tiktok and reels and now they are monetized it helps a bit. I have done some but not really into them however worth trying. I'm like you, I prefer long form and getting to know someone a bit more. Yes, Yarndale may be a blessing as I have relaxed a bit so that's good. I've really been enjoying the 2d felts, I hope to lots more over time. Hope you are well and thanks for being here xx
Your office looks great! Must have been a hard one but good that you stopped Patreon now you notice the difference in your mental space. Take care of yourself! Love your makings!
Thank you, yes, it really has helped me mentally just relax and take 5, thanks so much for watching ❣️
Just a thought, but next year when you send in your application for the show, will you be telling the folks reviewing your application that you have various media channels that have bona fide followers? Would doing that help the application to be more seriously considered? I mean, after all, you are reaching folks on multiple continents, never mind countries.
I did mention it and it's on my website but I will try again next year, thanks for thinking of me. I also do a feature video on Yarndale so would hope they might have checked it out, fingers crossed for next time xx
What did you use for the herdwicks feet?
They are fimo clay x
Anything of yours advertising on Facebook.. you need to report.
Yes, I did, thanks, that's hopefully why they took them down x
