I'm not very good at remembering to advertise. Don't miss the Holiday Book Blowout this weekend! It's at Westbrook outlets on Dec 20 from 11-4. There will be 70 local authors, live music, small businesses, activities for the kids, and food. I hear even Santa's supposed to be there!

The holiday book blowout is coming up on Dec 20! The event is at Westbrook Outlets (314 Flat Rock Pl., Westbrook CT) from 11-4. There will be 70 local authors, plus other holiday goodies. #connecticut #books #bookfair

Just for fun, here's a comparison of a tiny squirrel I made three years ago with a tiny squirrel I made earlier today but haven't finished yet. I did not think my style had changed so much!

A few more critters for your feed. #needlefelting #felt #felted #handcrafted #chicken #dog #turtle #frog

Last reminder - there's a Book Blast this Saturday at Bridgeport University! Go to the Wheeler Center 10am-4pm to see books sold by 100 local authors! Books range from kids to adults fiction and nonfiction, and books range across genres. I will be selling middle grade/YA fantasy/sci-fi. #books

In a splendid fail, I forgot to advertise my own book! #book #scifi #youngadult

"Teenager Kimi he gets captured and put into a retraining program for misbehaving youths... Each year, the trainee who fares worst is fed to the Light."

Final critter - and this time I had to foresight to photograph next to the book. It makes sense to make a sheep out of wool, right? Book is available here: www.amazon.com/Kiera-Lamby-... #books #picturebooks #connecticut #felted #lamb #felt #amigurumi

Critter number 2 is a tiny cat. This cat is based off of Allia Zobel Nolan's own cat. She was at the table next to me, and I was bored, so I made a cat. Her website is here: www.alliawrites.com #books #picturebooks #connecticut #felted #cat #felt #amigurumi

The first critter I felted yesterday is a little purple alien from Emily Raymond's book "Danny the Goat Does Not Like Pears"! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/danny-the-.... #books #picturebooks #connecticut #felted #alien #felt #amigurumi

If you missed the Norwalk book fair, there is another book fair this Saturday 11/15 in Bridgeport! Event will be at University of Bridgeport's Keeler Recreation Center, and it will run from 10am-4pm.

Obligatory self-promotion done. Next up, felted critters from yesterday's event!

A few new critters! Okay, not that new. The first one is from the summer. The second one I made a year ago, but I only just now gave him eyes.

The mug in the background is a gift from a friend. I never took it from its case because it feels unearned, somehow.

Just another reminder of the two book fairs coming up! If you are interested in being part of Connecticut's book fairs, please see my previous post. #books #bookfairs #authors

Hi! Sorry I've been away so long - I had to get away from social media for a while. I'll have some felted critters to post soon, but in the meantime, I'm getting ready for 2 book festivals! The first is in Norwalk next weekend, and the second is in Bridgeport the weekend after.

Here's a quick break from politics. I'm working on some dragons! They're from a kit, so I can't claim credit for the design, even if I ignored half of the instructions for dragon 1.

One of my resolutions is to spend more of my social media energy here. So, here's the first needle-felted project I completed this year.
