  11. Hi Liza,
    I found you via Julie's blog, and now I'm a follower of your blog too.
    Peaches is adorable! I've been a teddy bear collector for many years and would love to add her to the family. (She'd have a good home-promise!)
    I don't know a lot about fibers but I'll guess mohair.
    I would be happy to post your giveaway on my blog. Hope you'll stop by and visit me, grab my button, become a follower......
    Thanks for the generous giveaway.
    Hugs,
    JoAnne

  12. I'm already follower, so I'll get down to the guessing. It is awefully smooth looking fibre so I am guessing cashmere with silk bits. I also posted a quicky on my blog to let others know about your giveaway. I love her belly jewel - so sweet.

  27. Hi Liza and Peaches !

    I found your blog and can't take my eyes of your little miracles !
    They are so wonderfully made !
    I have 1 needle felted item and that is a custom made little cat, made after one of my cats calle "Sweet Home Alabama". I have never done it myself, but would love to give it a try if someone would learn me. A pitty that you live on the other side of the planet ;-)

    I have no idea what material you used on Peaches since I have no clue what needle felting is all about, but I make a wild guess: Fairy dusted angel hair ?

    You can visit my blog on:
    www.liekske-liekske.blogspot.com
    You are welcome to take a look.
    I'll make sure to post a promotion of you and your handfuls !

    Beary hugs,
    Angelique
