This week’s interview and giveaway is coming from Natalie who keeps shop at Woolhalla. Let’s get to Natalie a little better.
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I am a WAHM who likes to design & makes wool felt toys & waldorf-style dolls. I also run a supplies company so my craft stash never runs dry! My three children (plus 2 dogs & 1 cat) keep me quite busy, but I often find a little time to enjoy the outdoors or referee roller derby games.
What inspires your creations?
My children and all the other children out there inspire me to create natural material play options.
What are your favorite materials to use?
Silk, wool and cotton are my top 3.
How do you balance you family life with creating?
[ya, I better think about that!]
How did you get started in your craft?
When I lived in Holland about 15 years ago, I was introduced to doll making and handwork and took some classes there~ it was love at first sight :o)
What thoughts do you have for parents on the importance of natural toys for creative play?
I think children naturally gravitate to the warmth of natural toys and when they have more open-ended toys they engage their imagination more. A great example is playsilks, they seem to be used for decorating, dressing up, carrying dolls, and even tying small bikes together!
Today Natalie is offering a wool felt horse and dollhouse doll. The horse is a 3/4 size version of her horse pattern so that it is in scale with the dollhouse doll, which is approx. 11 cm/4.5″ high.
