Spring has Sprung!

Sure, we're having a little April snowfall but Spring is definitely on its way! And there are some new spring bunnies now available in the shop! Signed and numbered handsewn little plush bunnies and a new One of a Kind art doll, Bunny B. Belle.

Happy (almost) Spring!

Love,

Heather

Happy Holidays!

Happy Handmade Holidays!

Thank you from the bottom of my toymaker heart to those of you who supported Needlings this year. Through all the ups and downs that 2014 brought, I really couldn't have done it without you!

I hope you've all had a wonderful relaxing end to your year and I hope your loved ones loved finding their new Needlings under the tree this Christmas. All the best for 2015!

Thank you times a million and Happy Holidays!

Love always,

Heather

Happy Birthday week to Needlings! 
My gift to me is to give you things for free! Or give you the chance to win some Needlings goodies anyway. 

Enter to win at http://www.facebook.com/Needlings (or directly below here) and follow, tweet, blog, on twitter, instagram, and other internetty things, etc. for extra entries (see contest tab for details).

Good luck! A winner will be picked randomly at the end of the month!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being wonderful people, friends and customers. Sometimes I get really sappy and tear up about it with hugging involved so thanks for being cool with that. Seven years and not a bad egg among you. Thanks for that too! 



EDIT: Thank you so much for all of your entries and congratulations to the winner! 

Happy Fall!

Hi guys!

Summer is over and Needlings' birthday is coming up! Seven years of felt, fuzz and eyes that are just a bit too big and I know there are lots more to go. I can't really thank you enough for all the support Needlings has received over these last 7 years. It has been wonderful and has changed me for the better and I know that I have all of you to thank for it. Ok end of sappy birthday news (although let's be honest, there'll be more.)

This summer's shows were wonderful as usual and I want to also thank all of you that stopped by Locke Street Festival and Supercrawl, two of my absolutely favourite shows to do and two of my favourite things about living in Hamilton! Holiday shows are yet to be announced but safe to say I'll be sticking close to Hamilton this year. Stay tuned for specifics in the coming months (if you're into that kind of thing).

Yep, just a handful of some of the rainest and funnest days I have every year! Now back to sewing.

I'll see you all soon I promise!

Love,

Heather

In the Workroom Recap : Week 330

So we're looking at 15 days until One of a Kind Show now and I'm about halfway to where I should be so no problem! Nothing a few strategically placed 14+ hour workdays won't fix!

Last week I finished a bunch of little guys and this week is more of the same. It's all very exciting for you when the weeks are mostly identical, I'm sure.

The little owls are almost finished and I have some more kitties to add to the bunch before moving on to the next batch of somethings so things are coming along! Sleep then more sewing! 

I'll see you next week! 

In the Workroom Recap : Week 323

Hi guys! Things may look a little different here at Needlings.ca but nothing too crazy. In fact, new things and the very first Needlings blog entries from way back in 2007 are all in the same place now. Full circle stuff! Most of them are completely embarrassing to me so read at your own risk. It is though kind of fun to see how far Needlings' has come since then.

This week, more time than I would care to remember was spent on boring behind the scenes internet stuff involving a lot of stuff I don't really love doing. But it's mostly done! Yep, mostly!

It started with a little fun cupcake order which I was happy to have the chance to make!

Then I took some time to package and ship some orders before getting back to some more studio organization and parts cutting.

So many scraps! I'm happy to say they are a little more condensed and there are a lot more pieces cut and ready to turn in to various Needlings goodies.

I hope you all have a lovely week! I'll see you when it's done!
