Red felt accessories!

Here they are! The accessories I made with the red felt flowers I made previously :) As you can see, some have become headbands, others earrings or rings. I am very happy with the results, obviously they are not 100% perfect but I will definitely make more and keep practicing!

Tomorrow will be the third day in a row I wear red, it's quite a special feeling and I'm like a little old lady covered in all this colorful wool, popping cinnamon hearts like happy pills ;)

felt flowers bring..um.. fun!

I am so loving my lil 99cent porcelain elephant, I love awesome vintage thrifts. Good quality lasts forever. I saw past the accumulated dust and dirt and once he was cleaned he was just perfect. The hand however was not heavy nor was it light on my pocket change. ahem.

Today I have put my repurposed wool sweater flowers on display! Some will become a headband, others (below) earrings and perhaps one a hairpin? We'll see.

I was all excited about putting valentine's day themed items in my shop but I should get to that soon if I hope to send out packages on time. I am so inexperience but it's all so exciting!

What!? Kids aren't supposed to drink cranberry juice!

Recently I have been playing with felt again, it is great fun and so comforting. I hadn't noticed before that felt had that effect on me! It is as comforting as listening to The Raconteurs with sore legs.

Rather than hand felting, I machine felted offcuts of 100% wool sweaters and got all sorts of interesting bits to work with from the process, with which I created these "buttons". The one below is my favourite, it's a strange little creature.

In conjuction with having to create flowers with wool sweater offcuts, I coincidentally found a tutorial that was specifically about that! Check out Aunt Peaches' sweater felt flower making tutorial to make your own :B
