Oh, woops…Wrong photo, wrong Robin Redbreast! ( Higgins does like to join in)
Remember I mentioned robins the other day? Well, since then I’ve been seeing them all over the place and I particularly liked this image in Country Living.
But I’ve also been having a lovely time with the needle felting,which I have sadly neglected lately with all the knitting and crochet work I’ve been doing. I’ve really got to get back to making the big stuff I enjoy so much, but just at the moment I’ve been having lots of fun with my Christmas theme in mind. Hence the robins…
I love the way they fit into the palm of the hand, they are very tactile, if time consuming to make. I can just imagine how sweet they would look as a Christmas table centre, or all along a mantlepiece. That was the intention, but I have been getting sternly spoken to by my artist friends. How long ago did I first mention selling on line? Don’t tell me, it’s too long. I’ve been procrastinating like mad, in the name of research. However, after an assortment of dire threats from people I had previously assumed were sweet and mild mannered…ladies, you know who you are!…I have taken the plunge.
Planet Penny is now a Folksy Shop..Ta DAAA!
As from half an hour ago.
And there my little robins are available to buy. At the moment, I have said I’m only shipping to the UK, but do get in touch if you live somewhere else and would like to make a purchase.
Now I have to work out how to put a link on the side bar… Hmm, please bear with me, I think there might be a few teething problems before I get it right!
Edited to add: As of 2012, Planet Penny is to be found on Etsy, where the latest versions of the needlefelt Robins are to be found…

Oh they are adorable – I love the felt work I see in Blogland.
Higgns reminds me of Tilly( Matilda of Monks Hill to be exact ! ) my late Grandparents’ dog ( also no longer with us ). She got very fat then was diagnosed with diabetes & went to the size of a twiglet !
Doesn’t Higgins look smart? What an expression.
Lovely robins too.
Good luck with the Folksy shop.
