KitLane's Profile

Bio

My gratitude for your custom will know no bounds, my humble offerings
have developed over time as an extension to the remedial therapy that
followed a calamitous car crash wherein I lost my arms. Subsequently I
have striven to become the Christy Brown of wool needle felting. You may remember
Daniel Day Lewis' portrayal of the tortured artist in "My Left Foot",
like him I have struggled, though in my case it has been learning to hold a felting needle between my toes rather than a paint brush. I am
soon, though, to transfer to my right foot because of a recent diagnosis of
leprosy - highlighted by my right big toe dropping off.

Please, I do not ask for your
sympathy.........................................................................................................sorry
I was called away by the low groans of pain from my bravely suffering
Siamese triplets; it took me sometime to hop to their side, where I blew
on their fevered foreheads (I can't afford air conditioning on a war
widow's pension) in a vain attempt to assuage their agony.

So, please visit my humble shop and I pray that some, oh so reasonably
priced, trinket catches your fancy.

Seriously, :o)

Welcome
Kit

*smoke free home (very difficult to light em up after the loss of my toe)

* There are no such beings as Siamese triplets and I still have most of my body parts.

Many of you have asked where I get my wool for the wee "Bobs". After a year of buying wool here and there, trying this and that, poking heaps and bunches of all sorts of sheepy goodness, I finally found DraigAthar. Her wool is specially and most carefully selected just for it's needle felting qualities. She is a wonderful felter herself and knows just what we needle felters need. And now that I have found her I never go anywhere else.
