Funky Cat Design Thoughtful & meaningful small‑batch pieces designed to help you celebrate your story. Hi, I’m Jo at Funky Cat Design.
(1)

Gifts, crafts & boho jewellery handmade from reclaimed and new materials, like old denim, charity‑shop yarn & preloved textiles, wood, stainless steel and core wool. I’m a needle-felting and multimedia artist creating handmade jewellery, gifts, pictures and 3D sculptures using both new and reclaimed materials. Every piece is crafted in small batches with techniques I love: needle felting with quality core wool, crocheting, sewing, decoupage, appliqué and more. My work is all about texture, colour and storytelling. I design one‑of‑a‑kind pieces that help people celebrate moments, memories and the joy of handmade art. I also run friendly needle‑felting workshops for individuals and groups, where you can learn new skills, relax, and create something uniquely yours.

This has been an incredibly busy week - I was getting ready for the Craft and Gift market in Assembly Rooms today Saturday, 17th October, free public entry 10:00 - 16:00.) My little ******er studio is now filled with lovely autumnal vibes and rich, vibrant colours. 🍂 And, I hope it shows in my woolly needle-felted pictures .
Which one do you like best? Is it the roud fox, a munchkin squirrel or the boxing hare that's caught your eye? Let me know in the comments, share and follow me to help me grow. ❤️
And if you happen to be nearby, visit my stall at the market and say hello. 😊😉
Or, hopefully- see you next time in Wi******er Guildhall (31st October) 🫡

Thank you everyone for your support! Today's Craft and Gift market in Salisbury Guildhall has been a real success. Both hubs and I really enjoyed chatting with those of you who stopped by. ❤️😊
Also, very pleased to say that the needle-felted fox went to a new home! 🤩🥰 (Along with the badger, robin, giant horse chestnuts and other felts).

What are your plans for the weekend? Let me know in comments below! 🤩
This week, in my little Wi******er workshop, I've been busy making more giant woolly conker baubles, mushroom ornaments and for the Craft and Gift market at Salisbury Guildhall tomorrow (3 October) - free public entry, 10am - 4pm.
I'll also be bringing gorgeous pumpkins, sleeping little foxes, a little woolly badger and hedgehog, and lots of other autumnal and themed goodies I've made in the last two weeks. And, I really can't wait to show you those!
So, if you're nearby, pop in - look around, stop for a chat, and you might find some lovely keepsakes or gifts for family and friends, too. ❤️
For now, I have put my tools down, packed the bags and I am now taking a little me time, to recharge my batteries in the lovely and warm sunshine. I can't believe October is here! So, sending you very best wishes from the lush green ridge on Badger Farm, Wi******er! Have a wonderful weekend and - hopefully see some of you tomorrow! Ta! 😊🫠

Giant conkers - yay or nay?
I'm working on bauble hampers for sale at the craft and gift markets across Hampshire in October and November.
(I have considered lifesize horse chestnuts but they take too much time to get the right price for them.)
So, either giant conker baubles or do something else... Let me know in comments. Thanks a lot! ❤️

Is it me or time has really flown like a rocket this year? 🤔 I swear, it feels like I was only just getting ready for early summer... I am absolutely not ready to give up on tee-shirts and sleeveless dresses yet, and jumpers are still packed away in the loft.
But, as the cooler and darker evenings draw closer, the realisation dawns on me - autumn is here... Last weekend, I harvested the last plums from the garden and made tartes and jams. I'm still waiting for apples and quinces to ripen fully, though... 😋
So, my mind now drifting to autumnal colours - oranges, reds, soft browns and and richer greens. Currently, my workshop is full of needle-felted . These will be going to the October craft and gift markets in Salisbury Guildhall, ******er Guildhall and .
Foxes and badgers are also coming along, so keep checking my page for updates. 😉 And please share, follow and comment - this helps me immensely and keeps me going! ❤️

I present to you my latest miniature needle-felted . Since I live on Badger Farm, Wi******er and we just recently celebrated our 40th anniversary as a community, I wanted to join in the spirit of it. And a tiny woolly badger ornament felt just perfect for the occasion. What do you think of it? Let me know in the comments. Share, and follow me Funky Cat Design for more handmade local crafts! ❤️
