October is here, and with it comes all the things I love about fall—cooler weather, cozy sweaters, and, of course, needle felting! There’s just something magical about this time of year that makes felting even more enjoyable. The crisp air and changing leaves inspire me to create, and I can’t wait to share that joy with you through our seasonal kits and upcoming retreats at the Nome Schoolhouse.
Felting Pumpkins: The Ultimate Fall Craft
One of my favorite things to felt in the fall is pumpkins. There’s something so satisfying about shaping the wool and watching it transform into the iconic symbol of the season. Our Pumpkin Needle Felting Kit is perfect for capturing that feeling. Whether you’re decorating for Halloween, adding a handmade touch to your Thanksgiving table, or just looking for a creative project to unwind with, felting pumpkins is a wonderful way to celebrate the season.
And if you find yourself falling in love with the process like I do, you can always grab more materials to keep making them! There’s no such thing as too many pumpkins in the fall, right?
Turkey Felting for Thanksgiving Fun
As Thanksgiving approaches, I always get excited to start felting our charming turkeys. Our Turkey Needle Felting Kit has become a fall tradition for me, and I love seeing how each one turns out with its own unique personality. These little guys make great décor for the holiday, and it’s such a joy to see them come to life as I felt.
The best part about needle felting is that it’s a creative escape. As the days get shorter and colder, felting allows me to slow down and enjoy the season. Whether I’m working on a pumpkin or a turkey, the process feels like a peaceful, meditative retreat.
Join Me at the Nome Schoolhouse
Speaking of retreats—if you enjoy felting as much as I do, why not join me in person at the Nome Schoolhouse in 2025? I can’t think of a better place to gather, create, and connect with fellow fiber enthusiasts. I’ve planned several retreats that are perfect for all skill levels, so whether you’re new to needle felting or have been felting for years, there’s something for everyone.
The Nome Schoolhouse, with its beautiful, historic charm and peaceful setting, is the ideal spot to focus on your craft. It’s not just about learning new techniques (though you’ll definitely pick up a few), but about taking time to enjoy the creative process, just like I do when I’m at home felting my pumpkins and turkeys. Spending a few days immersed in the world of fiber arts always leaves me feeling inspired and refreshed, and I would love to share that experience with you.
Let’s Felt Together!
So as fall unfolds, I encourage you to embrace the season with your own needle felting projects. Our Pumpkin and Turkey Needle Felting Kits are available now at Bear Creek Felting, and they’re a great way to bring some autumn warmth into your home. And if you’re looking for an even more immersive experience, consider joining me for a retreat at the Nome Schoolhouse. I can’t wait to see what you’ll create this fall and maybe even get to craft with you in person!
Happy felting, and I hope you find as much joy in the season as I do. 🍁🎃🦃
