My felting kit arrived on Saturday, and I have had a little bit of a dink about with it, and I think I will enjoy using it! Especially if I keep working on the scale I am right now, which is very small. I think I will get a multi needle tool at some point in the near future, but right now a single needle is okay for me.
(I didn't actually really buy it for felting at all, but for using the same way you might use an embellishing machine but a) they're extremely expensive, b) I didn't know if I would enjoy the process, and c) I currently have very little room for one even if I could afford it).
I also got some books from the library about felting, although most of it is either 3D (which I have little interest in), or wet felting, which I don't want to do. But I figured that at least some of the information would come in handy, so I got some of the books anyway.
One of them has multiple sets of instructions for making felt cacti/succulents from pre-made felt, and I am going to make some of them. Because I am nothing if not a sucker for cacti.
(I also discovered some among the random printouts and copies I have of various tutorials when I was going through that folder to get rid of some stuff I was no longer interested in. So there are a lot of fake cacti in my future, it seems!)
(and also maybe that corvid I said I was going to make last summer but didn't get to because what are brains, right).

In other news, I have been playing FFXII, to absolutely nobody's surprise (esp if you read![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lassarina's What Are You Playing Wednesdays posts). I am currently in Golmore, having just beaten the Elder Wyrm on my first try! I am playing it not in Strong Mode, although doing fairly well. No-one KO'ed until the Belias fight, and I haven't had a game over yet, so I must be doing something right!

I don't have anything else to add, so I shall end this entry here.

Good job with FFXII, I am impressed!

Thanks, although you might not say that if you'd seen how the fight with the Elder Wyrm went ;)
