Thank you for not adding irritating music, I have no idea why most people do that on youtube.

[@lauriewarner4848]

Anyone wondering, when you order the kits from these talented charming girls , they are excellent and plenty of supply ! I love these videos! I am a beginner and am now hooked! Have a mouse day everyone.

[@LickingChalk]

This just popped up in my recommended and it warms my heart. I had a little boy mouse for nearly three years who recently passed in November. He was my sweet little old boy and I remember how peaceful he would look when he would fall asleep. Seeing these needle felted mice brings a tear to my eye, the white ones are a perfect match to him. Truly beautiful artwork.

[@firstcanonkill1767]

make one in his memory?

[@hannathompson7998]

This literally brought a tear to my eye, so sweet. RIP sweet boy

[@eileendaly7481]

I like your teaching style !! You made it look possible for anyone who wanted to felt could .Thanks so much .Your mice are adorable !

[@MamaBearx10]

My sisters and my mom and I made these for a crafting retreat. They added whiskers with regular sewing thread and they look so cute! One of my sisters’ mice turned out kind of tall and comical. She left their eyes white and made three blind mice, complete with props .

Omg. I just finished my first of anything, and it was this mouse. I am in love and want to make a million more. Thank you...Homeless Amy

[@2baSelkie]

I was totally absorbed from the beginning to the end of your wonderful video. In Scotland (especially the Highlands) You always give a mouse as a present when someone moves into a new home. Not a live one!!! I have more than enough in this old house and my 27-year-old cat has well passed his hunting days :) I have always wondered how felting was done, and you explained everything so clearly it was wonderful. I have not seen any materials in S.W. France where I live now. I did send for one small stencil from the U.S. and had to pay 75 euros for the postage. Struggling on a small pension, I will not do that again. I have 5 friends in new houses now. So 5 mice needed. I usually make fimo mice. Small in case they are not wanted, even if they are really realistic. After watching your incredible skill I am itching to have a go. I will try the U.K. for supplies. I wish you every best wish for the new year. Bliadhna mhath ur in Gaelic :) Fran. Pro. blee an ah va hoor

A mouse as a present when someone moves into a new home....I love this tradition! How precious! I love hearing these traditions that other countries incorporate. I always give a nice/pretty WELCOME door mat for the front door. I just roll it up and tie with a beautiful bow. :)

[@zofias2428]

I like this tradition, wish I knew this earlier when I was felting. I lived in UK many years ago and that's where I ordered my wool from: www.winghamwoolwork.co.uk/ I think their prices weren't too bad :) Felting is great!

[@millybops]

Zofia smith Hi Zofia, I’ve just looked on the Winghamwoolwork website and they have amazing wools for sale so thank you for posting their details! However I’m very new to felting and don’t know as yet a great deal about all of the wools available for this amazing craft so I wondered if you could help me please! Looking at the wool on their website it states they are mostly in balls of 50gm, now is that 50 grams? And can you describe what kind of size a 50gm ball of wool is like please, is it roughly the size of a tennis ball, bigger or smaller?! I literally haven’t a clue what I’d be buying and when you said you’d purchased from them I thought you’d have a better idea about their wool. I hope you don’t mind me asking you this but the more help I get at this stage the better haha😳x

[@zofias2428]

@@millybops It was a long time ago so not sure about those bulks. You have to remember that wool is light so that amount will probably give you plenty to play with. Good luck!

WOW 2BASELKIE, A 27 YEAR OLD CAT MUST SURELY GO INTO THE GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS, THAT IS FANTASTIC.

[@alohachristine]

This was absolutely amazing. My children (10 and 15) sat and watched this with me. They learned things they didn't know and are excited to try the techniques. Thank you so much for not only "sharing the jog" but also teaching skills to bless others-- especially my children with summer/pandemic boredom!

This tutorial just appeared in my feed & I'm delighted! My daughter gifted me a tiny Yorkie she had needlefelted of my beloved dog who had unexpectedly passed away & I loved how beautiful it was. I've wanted to learn this art form ever since but didn't know how to begin. This tutorial is a wonderful starting point! Of course I had to subscribe! I'm looking forward to learning!

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

Why didn't your daughter show you?? Uk

[@Louizalass]

I very recently received my sleepy mice pack via the Sarafina Orders facebook page for the UK and today completed my first sleepy mouse and he's gorgeous! The wools received are wonderful to work with and it makes such a difference using the right wool. Followed the video, pausing when I needed to, but it didn't take me too long to complete. Wee sleepy mouse (whose name is Harry, by the way) is coming to work with me tomorrow to have a sleep under the Christmas tree. I'm pretty certain my colleagues will fall in love with him!

[@laurelgrasso2897]

does anyone know what guage needle to use for blending the top coat onto the mouse?

[@caliandris]

Which group is that? I've found the Sarafina Fibre page and the group but not an order page for the UK....

[@Louizalass]

@@caliandris Sarafina is based in America and you have to order from there. Can sometimes be pricey with customs charges, unfortunately.

[@Louizalass]

@@laurelgrasso2897 google for needle felting needle sizes and usages - Heidifeathers do a great guide.

[@sueellens]

I’ve never seen this technique done! These mice are adorable. I feel myself needing to learn this. Thank you for the instruction.

[@grdcntstn]

too squeakin cute...my first felting video..saw it on my feed and they are so sweet looking i had to watch. i used to use felt needles to put hair in dolls.. so i have some of the tools and the holes in my fingers already. Now this made me wanna make a wittle mousey. Hard to get any more cute than that.

[@susanhamilton1822]

Please don't worry about it going quite. Too many videos almost drive a person up a wall with the music. You are very refreshing. :)

[@Louizalass]

I agree! I hate it when instructional videos include music (usually too loud) and often the music drowns out what the person is saying!

[@lkm3s]

I usually can't sit through a whole video, yet the time kept passing and I kept watching. "What's going on?" I thought. Then you said "it's too quiet!" and Yes! Eureka! THANK YOU for making a video with no background noises/music. Its so difficult for me to tune into it that I just give up and leave. The mice are too cute! I'll be making some this week. Wish you were in the UK.

[@wenncarne6644]

What a fantastic video! You explain everything in a really lovely calm manner, you are a fantastic teacher and I’m so excited to buy your kit and get started. I love Milo’s “bad” jokes, that’s what makes them funny. You are both very authentic and fun to watch, real people want real tutorials, not polished and perfect. I also agree with the previous comment please don’t worry about too much silence, listening to the actual stabbing process is really relaxing which makes the viewer feel calm rather than being bombarded with too much information at once which makes even the simplest project seem too hard. Please keep the videos coming, and how damn cute are these sleepy 🐭 mice, bring on world 🌍 peace ✌️😌

[@fluffyspit]

I have a little felted mouse that I bought several years ago...now I know how he was made...thank you, your teaching is wonderful, so enjoyable to watch.x

Super cute and very entertaining. Official fan already. Thank you in advance for teaching me how to needle felt 😊

[@chickenanon]

TIL the sound stabbing crunching noise of needle felting is basically the most soothing noise in the world. Also I need a thousand sleepy mice. And a new hobby. Obviously.

[@Dabble58]

So sweet - thanks so much! I can't have a mouse with no front paws, though, so I put tiny pink circles on the tummy....LOVE these, and thank you so much for all the joy you bring us. I did a show of my creatures this past weekend and everyone smiled as they went past (and/or stopped and bought) - I love spreading this happiness!

I did the same thing with my mouse. I made two tiny pink front feet.

[@morganolfursson2560]

People with a thumb nail and i mean actual thumb nail shorter on one hand than on the other are said to be extremely creative and you Lady are no exception to the rule. This was very relaxing to watch, i am trying to learn how to make my daughters do something creative on the week ends , and this seems like a really nice project , i will have to purchase a few items though as i have absolutely no felting goods . Looks like you have a store , I will check if we can order from Switzerland .

[@drbettyschueler3235]

I just ordered the mouse kit so I can make felted mice to replace my two real-life deer mice that were born in my house. I normally let deer mice, that I trap, go free in the woods but these lost their mom when they were only about 3 weeks old so they would never have survived if set free. They are now 3 years old, which is pretty old for mice in captivity, so I know I don't have a lot more time to enjoy their company. I am really going to miss them so it will be nice to have little felt mice to remind me of them.

[@febeleven]

You should do online classes, I would love to learn how to do this, I don't even know where to start, what supplies I would need to start out..think about it! I had someone make me one of my beloved furbaby {my dog who passed away} and she did a great job...looks just like him! I never knew how this was done your video was so cool...you did an awesome job.

This may sound weird to say but I like that there are no drinking or eating slurps and/ or tooth and mouth suck sounds like some people do in their videos. It is amazing how many videos I pass on watching because of unpleasant sounds. You are a good teacher and you are pleasant to listen too while I watch and learn. Thanks!
