Little Handfuls' photostream
Little Handfuls' photostream on Flickr.
Some of the gorgeous work from Little Handfuls over the last 7 years!
Gorgeous Merino/silk fibre from NZ
Just wanted to show you the beautiful photo that was taken by our own Ashfords of New Zealand a while back. I sent them some bears created in their wonderful Merino/silk fibre, one in each colour, and this is one of the photos they took!
I really liked how the pics turned out! These little bears are really small, just 5cm tall and they came with little bags to compliment their colours! Unfortunately they are all sold now but I might think about doing some more soon!

Still Felting up a Storm
Hi everyone
Gosh it's been a while, I keep forgetting about my poor 'ole blog! Facebook is keeping me super busy, lots of orders and the bears I make just for fun are flying out as soon as they are shown off!
I hope to put up the video of us which was aired on tv here in NZ in the next few weeks, just trying to crop it down to the essentials as it will be such a big file!
We are heading into our wet and wild spring here in New Zealand, little lambs are appearing and I would so love to have one at our place but better behave and keep to the miltitudes of animals we already have!
I've had a lot of fun buying up fabulous new fibres and gorgeous new trinkets over the last month or so. We had some great shows to visit and suppliers I discovered too! I hope you are keeping up to date with the happenings on my facebook page, so much to see there!
Well that's it from me, back to the felting pad!

Big Show in Hamilton! Come to Dunkleys this weekend
Little Handfuls and many other brilliant crafts people are all set to wow you with their awesome handmade creations this weekend.
We will be at the Claudelands Showgrounds from Fri - Sun 10 - 4 each day!
I hope you will pop down and say hello! I love to meet people who have found me online or vice versa!
See you there! :o)
Auction for Charity
I got an order recently for a lovely lady in Colorado. After I had finished the order and let her know I discovered that she was in the middle of the terrible fires over there!
Jennifer decided that with all the loss around her she couldn't justify buying something special for herself just now, she was giving all she could to help others and I was inspired by that! So I am offering her little bear up for auction over on my facebook page.
Jennifer has been giving all her money to help those that need it in her area and I want to help her to do that, so all proceeds from the auction go directly to her and I will pay the postage anywhere in the world for this little bear!
Head over to:

More Little Happenings!
Hi Everyone!
I hope this finds you happy and enjoying your day! Here at Little Handfuls we are getting ready for our next show!
This coming weekend we will be at the Hamilton Dunkleys Craft show. This is from 6 - 8 July and is at the Claudelands showgrounds for anyone who is local!
In preparation for this event I have closed my facebook store due to not having as much stock as I would like for the show. We also did an interview for the local paper so I look forward to seeing that in the Hamilton Press this Weds.
Since the last show I have been very busy with orders and sales of existing bears. We also had our segment on Hearts In Crafts air not long after that show, so things have been very busy here!
I decided to wait until this next event before we put our tv segment up on Youtube, but I will let everyone know when it's available for all to see!
New photos will be up soon as I am keeping some of the newbies to myself at the moment!
Take care and if in Hamilton I hope you will come and see us this weekend!
