WOYWW - dumfing delights!

A quick post with all my dumfing activities of the week.
My room was tidy but is now back to normal, so I won't bother you with my messy desk.
Here are some of the things I have been busy with....


A few kind folk suggested that a peacock would be a good bird to "dumf".

How right you were! I sat watching the snooker one evening and this was the result!!!
I think you will agree it's a couple of hours well spent.

I still don't know how I manage to do it - I have never done anything like it before and don't really know how I transfer an idea into a creation, but it just happens. I dumfed this one with my little Clover punch and a single felting needle.

The following evening I did the same with this little hummingbird. I think M. might like this one.


The little dumfling brooches were made on funday Tuesday. They still need finishing with beads and hand stitching but you get the idea anyway.

I am off to garden at M's today - hence the rush to post this blog.

Have a great day everyone.

Wipso - please can you add me to Mr Linky's list and I will catch up with all your WOYWW fun when I get back.

  68. Beautiful work!
    Jo, you asked me last week about my Hand painted Shetland... I spun the hand painted shetland roving in to fat/thin singles to knit the scarf. So your daughter may well be able to do the same to make a cardi. The Shetland feels super soft and is wonderfully warm... even if she made a shawl she'd feel the beauty of the fibre.
    The wide scarf I made probably took around 300-400g.
