Here is one set. The other one is very similar.

It's April 2021 and I'm still making Nativities
The set in this plastic box is one I made for a friend who saw a set I had made and really liked it. I made the box to fit the set so she would have a place to store them. The sheep and baby basket are sitting on a bent piece of plastic with a hole cut into it to hold them up. She was delighted with it!
I created these two donkeys over two days tofinish off my two Nativity sets below. I have someone who wants both--one for her and one for her daughter. Since taking this photo, I took my Copic markers and di some shading around the nose, eyes, and ears.
There are two sets here up against my wool roving. Six pieces in each set. They are hopefully my last sets for the year. I used the last 3 wooden spools I had and made a three piece set that is listed on Etsy. I want to do something else.
This is Henry and Mila created for Henry for his 2nd birthday in March. He loved it! His older sister who will turn 5 this year already has her order in for hers with a 5 on the shirt.

More Needle Felting-----December 2020
2020 Needle Felting
This is a Nativity set I felted for a friend
for Christmas.
I hadn't seen her for a long time because
we had moved and there was surgery and
COVID and some other circumstances.
I thought it turned out very sweet. She
loved it. The felt just seems to fit it and is
soft and gives a feeling of warmth.
I made another set of the three main characters
with 2 spools I had left and I crocheted the baby
basket from dark hemp instead of the light in
the other photo. The larger sheep's legs in the
first set are made from natural wood golf tees.
The eyes are small headed black pins and the
head covering and blanket are woven fabric
frayed at the edges.
