SouleMama Sponsors ~ The Magic Onions

Today, we bring you a giveaway from SouleMama Sponsor, The Magic Onions. In Donni's words:

"The Magic Onions Shop is filled with handmade toys and treasures for the natural home.

Visit our Blog!"

SouleMama: Tell us about your craft.

Donni: Hi, I’m Donni from the Magic Onions Shop. I’m mom to two sunbursts of joy; Kitty who is 9 and Teddy who is 6.

I'm crazy about needle felting. I could needle felt all day long! It’s the most amazing craft. I start with a big bunch of colorful, un-spun wool that resembles cotton candy and I sculpt it using a tiny felting needle. I poke the wool hundreds of times until it takes on a shape. The sharp needle has tiny barbs, which grab the wool fibers and interlock them, tighter and tighter, making a firmly felted piece of magic. It truly is like magic ~ starting with fluffy wool that looks impossible to sculpt and transforming it into a beautiful little something I can hold in my hands! I love the gorgeous colors of the wool, the warmth of it, the noise the needle makes as I work and the unlimited possibilities of the things I can create. Kids adore the tactile softness of needle felted toys and the wonderful texture of felted goodies brings and earthy warmth into the home. I have lots of DIY needle felting kits available in my shop if you are eager to experience the fun for yourself.

SouleMama: What inspires you?

 

Donni: The woods are my favorite place of all. There is magic everywhere in the woods… little pockets of fairy dust tucked away in hidden spaces, glittering rain-jewels, the emerald green of a mossy stone. We are an inspired and loving family when we spend time together at one with nature. The magic of the woods spills out into everything I create and knits its spell throughout the Magic Onions Shop. I make colorful wool acorns, mossy felted pebbles, woodland garlands, toadstool ornaments, foxes, squirrels, owls ~ a myriad of delightful woodland goodies that are sure to enchant.

 

SouleMama: Tell us about the product you are most excited about right now.

Donni: Without a doubt it would be my new woodland Christmas ornament collection. My kids helped me to come up with each piece and collaborating with them is always a precious gift. I am totally in love with all of them ~ seriously, if I didn’t make them myself, I’d have to buy them ALL as choosing a few favorites would be impossible for me. Each one has a character all of his own. I have a set hanging from a natural branch in my bedroom and they never fail to bring a smile to my face each morning.

I love what I do and I am wonderfully aware of how lucky I am to have been able to craft a business that allows me to follow my passion, every day. And I am proud of the goods I create… they are eco-friendly, made from natural and sustainable materials and good for the earth… and, of course,  full of magic!
