Shapes!

More shapes sitting in front of me today.  Lots of work to accomplish.  I just love the spring colors.  Some of these pieces will be wool felt cookies & embellishments and some will be recycled acrylic felt cookies & tea bags.  How very precious!

The first Freebie Friday is tomorrow - March 4.

Fabric Wristlet Clutch

This has been a project on my list for the longest time.  A gift for my mother became the perfect excuse to take the time to work on it.  Oh my, how lovely (now I have to make one for my daughter & myself!).  I found so many free tutorials out there for these clutch purses – I think I’ll try more than one.  I did purchase a pattern from ww.keykalou.etsy.com that was fabulous to work with.

I used a simple cotton outer fabric that I had laying around & an unbleached cotton fabric for the lining.  A vintage button from my grandmothers button box finishes this project just perfectly!  Don’t wait for a holiday or gift giving time to make one of these little clutches….you will just love it.  I hope you enjoy this cutie.



Cookie Review

There are a couple of these cute little sets of Pink Tea Party Cookies going out today for blog reviews.  I love it when my felt play food gets reviewed.  There might even be a giveaway involved….!  I’ll give you details when I know more.

Pretend Cookies

I'm working on a couple sets of Pink Flower Tea Party Cookies today - Yum.  Makes me want to whip up a batch of 'real' cookies to eat!  But that wouldn't help me get these projects finished.....

Scrappy Bookmark Project

The kids and I got to making stuff with our scrap box yesterday.  Thought you'd like to see what we came up with - 'Scrappy Bookmarks' - what a fun project!  What a fabulous idea for making little gifts or usable items out of the things that are so easily discarded.  We backed all of these bookmarks with wool felt for durability.  These will be great holding our place in our school books & bibles and great gift ideas for Easter baskets this year.  It was a fun time with the cutter matt, rotary tool, ruler, iron, sewing machine, ribbon box, & scrap fabric bin....!...Imagine the mess that was left in the path of this project!!!  We looked on the internet for some fabric scrap ideas and found quite a few sites that had tutorials for bookmarks.  I think we ended up putting our own spin on these with our technique and size.  Check out this site for a sweeet bookmark tutorial: http://scrapdaily.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-make-fabric-bookmark.html.  Make things that are reusable today!

Busy, Busy!

 It's one of those days when lots of things need to be finished to have order in my swirling head!  Loads of homeschooling to do with the kids, cleaning of the house, company for dinner, sewing bookmarks & ornaments together for a customer order.  That's what's on my plate today...how 'bout you?

Felt Strawberry Pancake Set - Yum!

Weather it's cold or warm outside, Strawberry & Banana Silver Dollar Pancakes with Whipped Cream & Maple Syrup always hit the spot!  I sell a lot of this play set & giggle everytime I sew these pieces together.  Have fun with your projects.
