WhimsicalWoolies
Announcement
I thank all of you who have visited my shop this past year. I want to also thank all of you who have placed orders and are waiting for delivery. Due to the large number of orders I have received I am working as fast and as much as I can to make and pack up and ship your items as quickly as possible. I thank you for your patience. All orders are being completed in the order in which I received them. Thank you
all for your wonderful and heartwarming reviews. It means so much to me. Happy New Year to all of you!
Thank you for coming to my shop Whimsical Woolies. My company name is The Ram's Horn Connection. I have been in business for approaching 40 years.
Almost all of my work leans towards the whimsical hence
the name. I like my creations to make me smile after I have designed them and I hope they do the
same for you. Please read below and check out my list of shows that I attend.
Everything you see on this site is handmade.
Everything you see on this site is handmade completely by myself along with help from my daughters, Kristen and Meghan and my wonderful sister, Madeline. Each item pictured on this site is a representation of that item. Each piece is created as closely to what you see in that picture and possible.
Thank you for coming and visiting my little woolie store.
I have been in business for over 36 years now under the name of The Ram's Horn Connection. Whimsical Woolies is the name for my Etsy store.
Each piece I design is made from wire as a base and wool as the body. I wrap the wool over the wire to create the main body of each creation and then add
needle felting technique to acquire the features I desire for ears, face, etc. Since the body is made of wire they are POSEABLE!
My work has been featured in several national magazines over the years such as Country Living, Country Home, Traditional Home, Wild Fiber, Domino Magazine and Early American Life and Art Doll Quarterly.
Over the years several pieces of my work have ended up in several museums around the country also.
Thank you so much and enjoy shopping and come back often because I am constantly adding new items!
The following is a list of my shows this year where I will be attending and selling my work:
SEPTEMBER 3 and 4 Heart of Lancaster
Roots Market
Lancaster, PA
OCTOBER 7, 8 and 9 Waterford Fair
Waterford VA
NOVEMBER 11, 12 and 13 Northern Virginia Christmas Market

5 out of 5 starsI received the snowman today. He is absolutely gorgeous. He’s a really nice size and I love all the ornaments he’s carrying he is very well-made. I am very very impressed. Thank you so much for making him for me. I adore him I got him two days after Christmas but that’s OK because sometimes I keep my Christmas stuff up all year.

The Ram's Horn Connection and Whimsical Woolies
It all started with my mother, Eveylyn Roberts, over 35 years ago. She started making little woolie sheep to display the wool that she used for making her shawls, coats, etc. They sold very well at Yankee Peddler Show in Canal Fulton, OH and so my sisters and myself started making them. Since I lived almost 5 hours away I began my own division of the woolie making team, The Ram's Horn Connection.
My husband and I just recently bought a farm outside of Pittsburgh and plan to have goats and chickens next year on the farm. We are very excited to have this wonderful place and looking forward to many days and years enjoying it with family and friends.
