Coral has arrived on the East Coast

Coral has gone to live with feisty Heather in Nova Scotia. They are already fast friends getting each other into trouble. I know Heather will keep me posted of their adventures together, should she send any photos I will post them. It is so nice to know my guys find themselves good homes.

LFG's

This is the current troop of LFG's. The short and the medium guys made their way out from under the bed to Ainsworth a few days ago hoping to find new homes.

The old, the new and the yet to be...

Tallest about 6" and shortest about 4" these are the littlest of the LFG's

 I am once again on the manic path of moving, starting new projects and organizing the old stuff. The prospect of a new place to call home always stirs the need to organize and stream line the stuff. What do I really need? Most of the time a cup of tea so I can make it through the project with out falling down. What I did get done today is some price cards so that the LFG's can get out of their storage box and go hang with Karen at Ainsworth. So here is the card for the littlest of the guys.

A little Solstice guy.

This is my new Little Felted Guy Rea. She is just a little ray of light for winter solstice.

Steve keeping an eye on the wild spinner.

Steve has gone to hang at Melonhead's studio. He was thinking he needed to get out of the house and have a visit with interesting people. Perhaps he will learn to spin. Carman has so much wonderful wool he may think he has died and gone to heaven.

LFG's find new homes.

Roy

Georgia

Georgia is jetting off to the US and Roy has found a place in town. Hopefully they will find the time to write and tell how they like there new homes. Thanks Karin at Answorth for giving them a temporary home and introducing them to new people.

LFG's at Ainsworth

So here are the guys with their postcards at Ainsworth on Grandville Island. They look quite happy hanging out upstairs at the shop. They are quite proud of their postcards. Stop by and say hello.

Little Guys and their Postcards

Julia, Herbert, Shelia, Roy and Georgia are all on their way to Ainsworth on Grandville Island to flog their personal postcards. Maybe even find homes for themselves.

LFG's done...at last

So I finished the four LFG's that I started so long ago. Three hims and one her. They are holding back on giving their names out. Once I have got all that all sorted out I will post their individual pictures, with names, in the photo gallery of Little Felted Guys.

Postcard coming soon.

Today I got brave and ordered some business cards on line. I also had them make up a postcard of the LFG's above. They should be here the end of June. I am having it all printed on recycled paper (was excited about that option). My plan is to make a series of LFG postcards so that at least their images can get out into the world. Here is hoping it turns out all right. Will keep you posted.

LFG's in process...

 I am working on four LFG's right now they were all started about a year ago. Life happened and progress was held up. I have pulled them out of their bin and have started working on them again. I am hoping to get them finished before the Summer starts. My very wonderful friend Carmen of Melonhead Knitwear has invited me to come visit her while she is spinning away and work on my guys. I have taken her up on her offer so maybe the goal of done before Summer has a chance to get started.

Angeline

A wonderful felter from Switzerland was out last summer. She taught me a different way to wet felt and she also got me so to do a little drop spindle spinning. She is an amazing artist. . Check out Monika Stooss in Switzerland. Angeline is the Little Felted Guy I gave her to say thank-you for sharing her knowledge with me. Above is the photo of Angeline in Switzerland.

Little Felted Guys...getting some attention

It is good to get out and be seen now and then. Take it form the LFG's they got out and were seen. Iain from "GoGo Bonkers!" (a local kids band) saw them and mentioned them on his blog. Thanks Iain...keep up the crazy singing of good stuff.

LFG's to hang out in window.

The Little Felted Guys are on their way tomorrow to hang out in Birkeland Bros.Wool shop window for the month of November. So if you are on Main street come say hi. They are really excited to get out of the Rubber Maid bin they have been in for far too long.

If you would like to know about these little guys e-mail me at little_felted_guys@yahoo.ca I would be happy to answer any questions.

Gladys

This is a picture Gladys sent me that to show me that is really enjoying hanging out with Kelly.

Dezirae

Here is another little friend that came back with me from my trip to New Brunswick.

Elizebeth found home in NB

Elizebeth found she had a home even before she was completed...It was love at first sight...Carol visiting with the rest of the Creative Women meeting at the WiZard of Felt's workshop saw me working on a felted figure...Carol and Elizabeth are now together somewhere in New Brunswick living happily ever after.

Leonard found new home in Toronto

While I was packing for Toronto Leonard decided he would hop into my suitcase . A few years ago Michel and his Mother (Kimberly) had come out to Vancouver for a working visit. Leonard had remembered how fun Michel was and decided to go and live with him. I am happy to say they have become fast friends. I feel confidant Michel will take good care of Leonard.

Georgia and Elizabeth
