Life with a felting machine.

Hi, I have started this blog to talk about the needle felting I will be doing with my Janome Xpression.
So far I have made samples and put text with it to help me remember. I have a few senior moments as I am at the age where the sparkle of youth has passed and the silver of wisdom has arrived.
I love this machine it beats hand felting as I have RSI and have to be careful how much hand felting I do. I pay with pain if I overuse my hands and my right arm.I do mostly 3D work with the needle felting needles.
I am planning to make a jacket with needle felting trims for the winter.We have sheep on our small block of land and I have washed and wil card and dye some of it soon.
