I was lucky enough to receive a great little Woolpets needle felting kit for my birthday from my Aunt in December. I've been wanting to try needle felting for a while- all the little kits and animals look so adorable, plus repeatedly stabbing a bit of roving has got to have some therapeutic qualities, right?
I think this fox turned out rather well for a first attempt, even with the slightly off kilter nose (I've decided to view that as a charming detail, rather than a flaw). I definitely stabbed myself accidentally a couple of times, but no big deal. Just remember- it's not the kind of craft you can do while watching tv.
I love the result- and I'm dying to make more! I really recommend the wool pet kits, they came with everything you need to make about 3 foxes. I've only made the one so far, but I was thinking about how wonderful they would look as little Christmas ornaments, with a ribbon loop added on top.Or maybe I'll get more roving and make other woodland creatures. These really are addictive!
EDIT: I can't believe I missed out on making a Fantastic Mr. Fox reference! And I even watched the film again really recently. Oh well. This little fox is pretty fantastic, but lacks the George Clooney of Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Aww he is ADORABLE! I can't believe he's your first attempt. It looks really professional.
very cute! I'm amazed at your flush of spring!
He is adorable! Great job!
Ooh I love it! And I like the cute settings you've photographed him in. I have never done 3D needlefelting, but I've done some 2D flowers on the front of a felted purse. That was fun. I can't wait to see what else you create.
Too cute! I've never tried needlefelting but you are so right, they would absolutely make adorable ornaments! That sounds like a fun excuse!
I just saw this little guy on flickr. He is so cute! I've only needle felted a small pumpkin, but I'd love to try my hand at such a fun creature like your fox here. I think he needs a name, though. Maybe that's becuase he's got me wanting to watch Fantastic Mr. Fox again...
By the way, did you know you are a no-reply blogger? I wanted to say thank you for the skirt compliment, but I don't have your email address!
What a cute creature! I've never needle-felted and I'm impressed that fox is your first project. He's so cute!
Wow, speaking of beginner projects that don't look beginner! He's so cute!
aw, so cute! your own fantastic mr. fox... he looks great!
He is so cute! And that's your first attempt? You're very talented :)
What a cute little guy! I am really intrigued by needlefelting.
He is so cute! You definitely have a knack for needlefelting.
Too cute!
cuuute! Haha immediately crossed my mind was 'fantastic mr. fox' =D
Oh cute -- love him!
Cute, that off kilter nose adds a lot of charm.

Adorable!
Oh, I love him! He is so cute! I love the idea of little fox Christmas ornaments. Looks like a lot of fun to make, too.
He is a sly, charming creature! I love it!
Cute! I love fox
Super cute. And you did a fabulous job! I can't believe it's your first attempt. I tried needle felting some foam balls around Christmas time (inspired by Anthropology) and the result was not pretty.
Those kits are adorable as well.
He is too cute. Now I want to try that out..
Too cute for words!!
Oh wow, he is super cute! I've always wanted to try one of those kits.
Very Cute! The first thing I thought was that he looks like Fantastic Mr. Fox. I can't wait to see what other creations you make with the needle felting.
it's official: I'm in love. I've avoided needle-felting until now, but I can't resist foxes.
