It's been so long!

Hi guys!

It's been so long since I posted. I've been so busy crafting and making things for my little Etsy shop!

Please stay tuned for an update soon!

Felt Bow Tutorial

Happy Saturday to you! Today I'm sharing a felt bow tutorial.. I love making these from leftover felt, it's easy and fun and cute! Yay!

 

Needle Felting Workshop

Hey all! As you might know I took a needle felting workshop a while ago. What's needle felting you ask? Needle felting is the process of felting/tangling one piece of wool to another using barbed needles. The needles take the wool fibers from one piece and drag them through the other piece where they tangle and attach the two pieces.

So first they advised to make a penguin using an example.. First you make all the basic shapes seperately. Here's my felting needle, the white body and two feet.. The black in the corner is black felt I'll be using to make the penguin's coat and eyes!

Another try - and a give away!

Hello you! What do you do when at first you don't succeed? That's right! Try again.

I tried to sell my handmade items via Etsy in 2011. I put up two very simple crocheted scarves, which nobody ever bought and I ended up gifting to my family. I decided selling my own handmade items was not for me. ...But now - three years later - I have changed my mind!

 

I'm going to give it another try. And we'll see what happens! (of course, I am secretely hoping that one of my items will be noticed) No crocheted scarves this time, I'm trying something different! A sneak preview?

  

 

Click here to visit my Etsy shop! I'll be putting items up for sale this week! And to celebrate, I'm having a give away!

 

I will giving away a $25 Etsy Gift Card! It'll run for two weeks and all you have to do is comment on this post. Of course, a bit of advice or 'item love' on Etsy would be welcome but that's no must! March 22nd I'll randomly pick a winner.

 

I'm very excited!

 

Have a lovely week!
