Kitty fur yarn anyone ;)
International Year of Natural Fibers 2009--
I brushed Niña .....
and here's her natural fibers. I felted it- soap, hot water and agitation, and it worked just fine! But its tiny. It would make a great little rug, if there was a lot more fur. I could also pick up stitches on the edges and make a mini-blanket for her bed.

Selling you Crafts..... here's a few places, other than Etsy that you may not know about
Made it Myself.com
Painters, sculptors, woodworkers and other artisans now have a way to turn their hobbies into profitable businesses.
Introducing madeitmyself.com, a new online marketplace where users can buy and sell handmade goods. It’s the perfect way for vendors to display their unique wares while buyers search for and purchase one of a kind, hard to find items.
For buyers, madeitmyself.com eliminates the need to spend countless weekends scouring the craft fair circuit to find that special item. Collectors of imported goods no longer need to travel abroad or pay exorbitant importer/exporter fees, or bid on items at live auction.
For sellers, madeitmyself.com is the perfect way to complement or even replace their current method of doing business. The site’s nominal fees are much more affordable than those associated with online auction sites, and the global visibility their goods receive can’t be matched to what a craft show or store can provide.
Madeitmyself.com is also a great way for the casual hobbyist to make some extra cash. For those who have always been told, “You should sell these” by friends and relatives, now they can. A digital camera and a few mouse clicks are all that’s needed to turn a hobby into a small business
For those of you who have only heard of Etsy, there are other places online to set-up shop, one of those places is:Artsefest
