Woodland Trail Studio made an abominable snowman – specifically, the “Bumble” from the classic Rudolph movie!
Here’s the process:

It’s been a busy end of year for Woodland Trail Studio!

Hallowe’en pumpkin 2014
Happy Hallowe’en! Unfortunately, I didn’t have all my usual wood carving tools this year, but I made do!
Flicker Box
Every year, flickers drill a new hole into my family’s cottage. Every year, we fix the hole, and every year they move 1 foot on either side, and drill another. This year… we decided to take a different approach, and build a flicker nesting box! After a bunch of research online, I found some blueprints (I used a few sources and used bits and pieces from each). We built it, and installed it – here’s hoping we don’t find a new hole beside it this spring!
Happy Mother’s Day!
A little salt dough figurine has been hanging in our kitchen for as long as I can remember, so when her head broke off, I wanted to find a way to fix her. Unfortunately, the dough was just too old, and she was beyond repair, so I decided to use my skills as a needle felter to recreate her in felt!
It’s pretty amazing that these fluffy balls of wool can be stabbed into the shape of virtually anything!
Here we go! I created the head, arms, body, dress, apron and hat. (The original figurine is in a baggie to keep all the broken pieces together)
I started to attach all the pieces and used light yellow yarn for her hair.
(a bit blurry, but progress!) Hands, sleeves, hair and shoes are done!
Adding more detail…
Face, freckles and glasses!
The final product! I’m so excited to show my Mom on Mother’s Day!

Happy Hallowe’en 2013!
Happy Hallowe’en!
It’s been a few years since I’ve done a pumpkin, and I’ve never tried to do it from a photo before, but I’m pretty happy with the results!

felting!
I’ve seen some cute needle felting projects recently, and decided to give it a whirl. Turns out – I love it!
Here are the first (of many, I’m sure) creations!
Step by step of creating a little felt fish for my sister’s cat, Tira:
Lace Capelet
This beautiful lace capelet was created from a pattern I found online and tweaked a bit.
I brought the dress with me to the store to select the lace, and was surprised to find a green that matched so well.
(I’d assumed I’d be going with a light pink)
