Tiny Fairy

My friend gave me a pattern for a "Wee Folk". Oh, my!! How cute is it! I made mine a little simpler than the original pattern. I have lots of feathers, and so instead of using flowers I used the soft feathers. I had such fun making her. I think someone will open a box at Christmas and find her! You can find Felt Wee Folks by Sally Mavor on the internet. You will love all her beautiful creations. Photobucket

Pin Cushion Love

I love pin cushions. Don't ask me why. Well, they are handy. They can be very pretty and there is just something cool about them. I recently made some with wool felt and little baskets. The one with 3 women's heads was given to me. I have to admit, I'm not thrilled putting pins into something that resembles humans. I would love to find an antique velvet strawberry pin cushion. Talk about beautiful! Photobucket

Burlap Utensil holder & Table Cloth

I love eating outside on the patio. We have a beautiful view from our house and it is calm and peaceful here. I made a burlap tablecloth and utiensil holders for outdoor dining. It is easy to change the embelishments to fit the occasions. Photobucket

Roll-A-Dex

I was on pinterest not long ago. I know, that's a big surprise, right? I saw a roll-a-dex where someone had painted the little cards that go inside the box. It was so blasted cute! Then I saw one where the little cards had fabric sewn onto them. Ok, very cute once again! So I thought I should give this a try. I found a roll-a-dex box and covered the top with collaged fabrics. Next I glued a calendar page onto the inside lid. Then I painted some of the cards and sewed fabric and junk on others. I couldn't stop there! I took some of the pictures of projects I want to do, and glued them onto the cards. The ideas for the boxes are endless! Photobucket Photobucket
