I was thinking about what to write for my first post and mother nature was my inspiration. Today is our first snowfall. It’s been snowing steadily since nine o’clock and the white stuff is sticking to everything.
Flights of Whimzy (Deborah and Laura) write from rural Carroll County, Maryland. We are both married and our kids are grown. We love to create and feed each others ideas. Our collaboration has resulted in success at local juried craft shows and sales on ebay. Our new etsy shop is our most recent venture. Not only will we share our art, but we will let you know about great books, products and suppliers as we find them.
The first supplier to tell you about is the Woolstock Yarn Shop in Glyndon, Maryland. Deborah and I are hooked on needlefelting but have not been able to find a local source for fiber. On a whim, we visited Leslye Solomon’s shop last week. They brought out a huge box stuffed full of wood roving in all the colors of the rainbow. We were like kids in a candy store. The kind staff didn’t mind us emptying the box all over the store so we could make our choices. We pulled off hunks of yummy wool which were weighed by the ounce. At $1.50 per ounce, we have enough to keep up playing for quite some time. Deborah has bunnies on the brain right now; so she should have several critters to share in the next few days.
Did you have any firsts today?

I finished my first felt knit bag. I didn’t know how much it would shrink so it turned out 10″x4″ !! too bad but it will work as an evening clutch ( if only i had somewhere to go in the evening!!) is there ratio formula for felting? You can see my bag at my blog i just posted it today. I will check back for your new inspiring creations!! I hope that I am your first comment for your first post!
