You might not have started out as an artist, but you are one now😊 And you need to start embracing the joy and pride of calling yourself an artist! Bravo! Well done!
Thank you so much! You are very kind, thanks for watching and being here xx
"Takes longer than you think." I feel this in my bones! My partner will ask me how a big felting project is going and multiple times i'll tell him im almost done and its always a lie.
I think I lie to myself all the time, it's good I don't know how long things take otherwise I wouldn't start them 😄xx
I want to give Vincent a hug!!! He is wonderful! All those ladies at the crafting group sure are in for a treat when you join them! I found a fiber social group at my local store and I have basically forced the owner to become my friend because she is the only person I’ve met here that has needle felted before…she has now convinced me to teach a little class at her store…it has 4 people signed up for it already! I can’t believe it! I really owe it all to you and your videos…I don’t know how or why the UA-cam algorithm showed me one of your videos, but once it did, I subscribed and never looked back! You are my major inspiration and your videos have become a sort of therapy for me…so calming and cozy! You deserve every subscriber and every dollar you make with your art! Thank you for sharing it!
That is fantastic news, how wonderful and very exciting, I hope it goes well, I'm sure it will. I really must push myself and do a workshop myself, you are driving me forwards too! And thank you UA-cam, I'm glad you found my videos. Amanda from Fit To Be Loved channel has a video on running a workshop so if you haven't seen that do check it out, have a great Christmas if we don't talk before and let me know how the class goes xxx
You are pure talent. What a beautiful picture!
Thank you, all the little details brought it together in the end, it's definitely one of my favourite 2D felts I have done, thanks for watching ❣️ xx
The display is breath taking Philippa, your amazing and I so love coming to your site constantly, for I can't wait to see what you have created. Don't ever stop, because I would fly across the pond to change your mind LoL Thank you always for sharing your gifts, your talent, tons of hugs, oh and Happy Halloween :)🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏
Happy Halloween 🎃 to you too!! Thank you!!! You are so incredibly supportive and it means so much to me having you here and no stopping just yet! Too much going round in my head! Take good care ❣️xxx
Lovely to see you, Pippa! And those chickens are adorable! Hoping you offer a class or tutorial on how to make them. Oh, and I love your 2D mushroom picture! I’m inspired to try one. Good luck with your surgery!
Hi Jill! Yes, do the mushroom picture, the curly locks and tree bark wool really added easy texture. My chickens are being developed for something, just refining them a bit, thanks so much and hopefully third time lucky with the op!❣️ xx
Muito obrigada por responder, coloquei para traduzir a sua resposta e fiquei muito feliz com o que você disse e quero te desejar tudo de bom e que o seu novo projeto te traga muita alegria e muitas vendas e que Deus esteja sempre com você, um grande abraço ❤
Wow Vincent is stunning, a real work of art and very inspirational. I started about 6 months ago and a loving it doing a mix of sculpture and pics. Love all your work and enjoy watching and Thank you for your time. Wendy
Thank you so much, I'm really pleased with Vincent. Yes, I'm enjoying doing 2D felts and also trying different crafts involving wool, all good fun 😀 xx
Another great vlog and Vincent is wonderful! I think your daughter is correct about the space in the picture you did, as the eye needs a space to visually rest in the artwork. I live out in California closer to Los Angeles and the variety of your mushrooms you show on your blogs is astounding! I thoroughly enjoy seeing all of your work you do!
Thank you for appreciating my mushroom footage, I always have to stop the dogs and get down close to film, I think I have noticed more variety this year too. My daughter certainly knows her stuff but in a instinctive way as she's only 16, she's definitely my go to on advice, thanks so much for watching and being here xx
I love the new chickens and Christmas bauble set. The owl is particularly cute. I would definitely buy that kit if you did one! Your display for the craft fair is beautiful and I don't think the kit boxes take away from that at all. Good luck at the fair and I look forward to seeing your next vlog!
Aah, thank you, been a bit behind on comments, the craft fair went really well in the end, hope to start videoing the Christmas bauble set soon, thanks for watching ❣️ xx
🎉 ❤. Your work has evolved over the years. While all that learning and trial and error and inspirations have gone, you are now an artist. Your painting proves. It is professional quality. The textures you put in elevate over many of the paintings out there. Vincent could easily fit into an Valais flock. What a darling. Am looking forward to the video on your baubles. They are sweet. Stay well. God bless.
Thank you! Yes, Vincent might like to stretch his legs in the field! I really enjoyed the mushroom picture textures, thank you for noticing and for watching, little Christmas baubles are next on my list 😀 xx
Your sheep turned out lovely! It's not easy to stay motivated with almost anything. But you made it through with a great result. I also have 2 dachshunds. They love to get a hold of my wool and chew it up. Brave move. I hope your shoulder feels better soon. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, yes really pleased I managed to finish him in the end! My two dachshunds used to get all my wool when it was on the lower shelves, they really love it 😀 xx
I so Love your videos, your truthfulness and your creations. AND YOU ARE AN AMAZING!!!!!!🤩❤💡🪡🐏
Right back at you! An amazing comment and very much appreciated, love your profile pic 📸 xx

Parabéns e não pare!! Um grande beijo!! 😘 E uma coisa que tenho que te contar, não entendo uma palavra do que vc fala, porque não falo inglês, mais aprendo muito com você, só de olhar, muito obrigada por dividir o seu conhecimento 🙏🏻
Thank you so much and sorry you can't understand it all but your comment is lovely and very much appreciated. I enjoy showing the countryside and all about my life as I love following other UA-camrs and their lives. Thank you for watching and enjoying, best wishes xx
I am a beginner and find your videos very informative and inspiring.
Thank you, glad you like them 😀xx
Another lovely watch,I love the ladies at needlebugs,I’d love to stay there,and you met the pups🥰 how lovely,Vincent is just gorgeous definitely keep him xxx
Their place is fantastic and you can talk needle felting with them! Vincent is definitely a keeper, had his first outing yesterday and he did well, thanks xx
Thanks for your purchase of the Humpback Whale kit Pippa! I hope you enjoy making it. It is possible that this one may be restocked as it’s proving very popular. Either way it will always be available as a digital tutorial. I absolutely love Vincent! He’s amazing!
Excellent, that's good to know so I can refer people to you. Looking forward to doing your kit, thanks for watching ❣️ x
Another great vlog Pippa. Love Vincent, he is amazing. I'll be in your neck of the woods on Saturday, Brockholes, to pick up some new hamsters 😊xx
Ooh, I'm at Yummy Yorkshire Sunday if you change days at all and fancy coming along, great cake and ice creams (even in cold weather!) 🥶. Vincent will be on his first outing there. Exciting to be getting new hamsters, thanks for watching ❣️ xx
I look forward to your vlogs. Wow! Vincent is amazing! I really like your display, the natural wood color is just right. Praying your surgery goes well and you heal quickly.
Thank you, I'm pleased I didn't paint anything too, hoping my op definitely goes ahead this time, thank you for your kind words 😊 xx
Philippa you are always an inspiration and you work so hard and we enjoy the fruit of your labors, Thankyou. 🤗Vincent is exceptional and will certainly draw people to your stall, I only wish I lived closer so I could visit your stall😊. Congratulations on 60.000 well done!! I love the chickens, I’m sure they will be a popular sell. God bless you, looking forward to your next video already 😄❤️🌻
Thank you so much! Vincent did really well at my craft fair (video tomorrow). It certainly would be lovely to meet everyone from my comments community, still amazed that we can all chat from anywhere in the world! Take good care and thanks again xx
AHHHHH - the chickens! The Christmas collection! Your beautiful mushroom painting! Just everything - thank you for brightening a gloomy freezing NY day :)
No problem! Just finally catching up with comments! Love you new kit and love seeing your business grow ❣️xxx
@@feltsbyphilippaawe, thank you so much, who knew it could all be so much fun ❤ your help is never forgotten.
Ohhh I NEED your shirt!!
Thank you, I used to sell them, might do so in the future xx
I would love to visit the UK. Looks so beautiful. The sheep wobbling didn’t both me. I found it cute because it reminded me of a dog wagging his tail…😂
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching xx
Just reaching this month as I wasn't too well in October. Never say your not artistic, look at all your beautiful creations. And I love the felted picture ❤❤
Sorry to hear you have been unwell, hope you are definitely feeling better, thank you so much, you are very kind xx
Feeling a lot better spending time at home needle felting 😊@@feltsbyphilippa
Love your enormous Valais and your display for your craft fair. Hope it goes well and hope your op goes ahead this time ❤
Me too, third time lucky hopefully 🤞xx
Enjoyed your vlog once again.😊
Well done with Vincent I love him❤ sorry about your op .
Thanks again take care. Xx
Thanks so much, third time lucky, hopefully 🙏 xx
Another great video Philippa and I love watching them! Vincent is fantastic and you are so inspiring x
Thanks so much Denise, Vincent is very lovely to have around, almost like a real sheep 😄xx
Great video Phillipa , I found your craft fair videos so helpfull when I started out, loving the latest display its stunning and Vincent is brilliant , a true inspiration , congrats on the 60000 xx❤ 🐑
Thank you so much, your sheep looks awesome in your photo xx
Happy Halloween! Thank you for sharing your felting business and journey with us.
You are most welcome, thanks for watching and commenting ❣️xx
I cant wait to try the christmas baubles. I have a woodland theme to my christmas tree so those animals will be an excellent addition.
They should fit right in! Thanks for watching xx
I enjoy watching your studio vlogs and love Vincent. I have completed Nicola Dean’s (The Felting Flock) Humpback Whale as a subscriber and loved making it. Although the boxes are small the fibre is crammed in them and the video tuition is amazing (I learn so much) and the finished project is a lovely size (not too big and not too small). I am thrilled with my finished whale! I am sure you will enjoy the project! Thank you for sharing what you get up to each month.
Thank you, I think I was just thinking of the last whale I made which was a fair size. I really enjoy Nicola's videos so am looking forward to trying it out, certainly looks good on the box, thanks for watching ❣️ xx
Oh, just a thought about the old wool that you were going to throw out. Could it be use as filling for throw pillows? If you don't have a use for it maybe a thrift shop would love to have it. I look for things like that every day. It's such a blessing when I can find such treasures. 💖 🐑 Love your sweet little pups. 🐕 🐕 🤗
Thank you, yes, it could but this stuff was unwashed and really smelt so my charity shop wouldn't take it and I don't have time to wash it all but I did consider it, thanks so much for watching and the pups say hi!! xx
Wonderful video! I got to see herdwick sheep at New York Sheep and Wool festival, can’t wait for your class.
Herdwicks are so beautiful and very popular to sell when I actually make them, I have most of it planned so hopefully I can start recording soon, thanks for watching ❣️ xx
I love watching your videos and seeing all the things you make. Can’t wait to see your craft fair video. Hope it’s a great success for you.
Thank you! The craft fair went well, video will be up tomorrow, just taking a while to edit, thanks so much ❣️ xx
Aww, I watch "Our Cheery Corner" too.
So happy there are so many craft fairs going on for her! Dunno how she does it, craft fairs are so draining! Lovely, but draining...
I have two coming up 1st and 2nd week of December and trying to produce all kinds of Christmas-y and New years stuff.

Basic videos are important, you never know what you might be reminded off that you have gotten a bit "sloppy" on, or what new approach you could learn.
I don't completely agree with the video on the approach - but there are so many ways to do things right in needle felting and very few to actually do them wrong. It just comes down to personal preference.
I am thinking about doing PDF courses in the future (there is a wool magazine that publishes tutorials and I'd like to send something in soon) or a "basics of needle felting" ebook in the future. So looking at different people felting is important to include as many ways of working as possible.
-
The other day I was in a craft shop and they had needle felting books that were basically all horrible. It pains me to say it, I did not like the projects, they looked very loosely and sloppily felted and I did not see their appeal - but there are probably a lot of people who like them, so who cares about my opinion on them.
But when a needle felting book explains to you that there are THREE kinds of needles - L, M and S. (my guess is triangular. I don't think it was mentioned anywhere. And they never heard of Spiral or Star (...) needles apparently.) that's where there can be no discussion.
THREE kinds? And those people are allowed to publish books on the subject?
I'm sorry if I sound arrogant, it just breaks my heart to see people making themselves out to be experts and getting bookdeals with blatantly wrong information...
---
Lots to do.
Christmas markets come first.
Then my course in January. (I do hope people book it, I'm working with an established institution who approached me after they saw my felts in a shop, so I hope it is interesting for their customer base. But I only find out in January. Hope I'm not buying all the supplies for it to not happen. But if that's the case, nothing I can do)

Vincent is a Masterpiece. I'd say he deserves all the cuddles, but I guess those are better given to the dogs who can actually appreciate them. ;)
Wishing you all the best. Fingers crossed you'll get your surgery done without complications.
Hi Chloe,
I'm a bit behind on comments, thanks so much for your kind words on Vincent, he had his first outing yesterday and he did good, video tomorrow.
Yes, there are lots of bad needle felting books and I really don't like the small, medium and large descriptions either. I'm not a fan of fluffy felting but it's a starting point for beginners. My felts are medium to firm depending on the item as I find it therapeutic to felt away for that smooth surface.
Good luck with your course in January, sounds good if it goes well, you have to try things out, you nwver know what might lead on from it, thanks for watching and take care xx
@@feltsbyphilippa Don't worry, your life is busy!
I know I often leave novels under your videos, I hope it's not annoying you...
You and your audience are people who actually understand what I am talking about, so I get a bit chatty ;)
I get fluffy felts for beginner, we all did it, didn't we? But in an instructions book I feel like you should show the best possible outcome for people to aspire to.
Take care!
I don't mind long comments at all, it's fantastic for the community and me to listen to other people's thoughts and ideas. I have actually reviewed a couple of beginner kits and I find it hard to let the creations be fluffy, kept running out of wool because i felted them firm 😄xx
Vincent is a work of art, well done, great video as always, I can hardly see my craft table for animals everywhere 😂 x
I definitely have that feeling, so hoping I sell a few to get some space back! Thanks for watching ❣️ xx
Looking forward to the horse course
Me too, once I've done it, procrastination Station creeps in but I am definitely feeling more confident about it, thanks for watching x
So enjoy your videos, and items you create. The picture was lovely, I'm not naturally artistic either, but love this artistic journey I'm on with felting and other crafts.... love it. Heidi Feathers is brilliant and over £20 is free to the uk - made an order with them recently. Thanks again xx
I find there is enough guidance to help me become artistic especially when all the steps and stages of a creation are broken down enough, thank goodness for UA-cam! Glad you liked the vlog and thanks for watching ❣️ xx
Wonderful vlog, I really enjoyed it. Your felt picture came out great, I love it. So nice to see some of Yorkshire, we visited a couple of years ago and found it stunning. Wishing for cooler weather here, the bush fires are horrendous already this season. Best of luck with the op.
Oh no, fires! Always such a worry, complete opposite here with flooding in Yorkshire. The mushroom picture is one of my favourites, the curly locks and tree bark yarn really helped it look better, thanks for watching and enjoying it, take care xx
Hi Philippa, its beth , we just had our HallOween party on 28th and now on holiday for the week. Happy HallOween xxxwe have not stopped since we got keys on 30th March. I understand you feel blurrr .after, It started to become end of October I too became tired out so crazy easy ....also with change in clocks too. I kinda want to hide in a cave. thanks for sharing and glad you are taking it easyer... often watch youre older videos ,as they are so fun and useful xxxxx Happy felting .
Happy belated Halloween, bit late with my comments 🤪. Yes, we never actually get the chance to stop and hibernate, it sounds very appealing right now but we had lots of sunshine yesterday so can't complain, as always, thanks for watching and take care xx
🥰@@feltsbyphilippa
I learn something new every time I watch your videos. I have yet to try powertex; looking forward to experiment and get my courage up to try a larger project.
Definitely, I actually find larger projects easier but obviously they take longer! Thanks for watching ❣️ xx
Amazing to see your creations. Will try a course soon too 😊. Such full and interesting vlogs 😃
Thank you, glad you like them ❣️ x
How did you make Vincent's horns? Did I miss that video somehow? Lol
No video, just felt and add glue on top, I do cover clay horns in my technical playlist xx
Could you not use the old yellowing wool as core wool for inside your bigger items?
Yes but it was valais and grey faced Dartmoor so very coarse fibres that need to be carded first (I did try some, it took 2 hours for a small amount) and they don't felt well or even so the surface can be bumpy.
Could old wool be used for stuffed animals?
Yes it could xx
Operation? Are you okay?
It's all in my previous vlog, small lump to be removed, hopefully all ok once it's out x
