I Am Sure The Pain Is Not Worth The Gain!

I am talking about my second attempt at Needle Felting.  I really don't think it is for me!  I decided to Needle Felt some Easter Eggs for The Basket!  I got my pretty fibre ready and my incredibly sharp, three pronged felting needle and set to work with gusto.  Much too much gusto.  I seriously drew blood from my index finger and my thumb within the first three minutes of creating the above egg.  The core of the egg is natural Merino which is blood stained!  I managed to cover it up nicely with layers of green Merino with a fancy pink stripe and pink spots.  This egg is a one off.  It wont be having any Needle Felted friends.  I may have to give up on my Needle Felting career as I can not take the pain.  It does look pretty though with the crochet Easter Goodies.
For health and safety reasons I have gone back to nice safe crochet.  I am working on something that I have high hopes for.  I always have high hopes, which might explain why I experience so much bitter disappointment in my life!
Yep I am excited about this wonky hexagon.  I am going to leave you guessing for now as to it's destiny.  xxx
