A baby Pumpkin Cocoon and hat set

This little cocoon with matching hat is perfect for those cute halloween, thanksgiving, fall/autumn pictures of that little pumpkin of yours.  Makes for a great photo prop for the photographers out there.  It's machine washable so easy to take care of if you take pictures of multiple babies.  Just listed it in my BitsOfFiber shop so click on the link to see more photos and all the info you need to purchase it.

The white pumpkin that finally felted!


Ahhhhh, silly white pumpkin that is! This is the pumpkin I mentioned in my prior post, the one that didn't felt. While I went ahead and wet felted it by hand I contemplated why it didn't felt in the washing machine like I have done many times in the past. I figured out it just stayed on top of the water due to the fact I had filled it with fiber fill before felting it. In the past I've always felted them before I filled them so there was never an issue. So problem solved I did it by hand and it ended up felting beautifully. I want to also thank Robin who commented on my prior post suggesting to stick it in a mesh washer bag with some marbles in it which would definitely prevent it from floating to the top! Thanks for that Robin, I will have to try that with my next felting project.

So here it is, it's up for grabs in my shop with more pictures to look at so go and have a peek.
Thanks for visiting my blog!

Perfect little pumpkin!


I love knitting these little pumpkin hats. This one is for a newborn to 3 month old. Just listed in my http://www.etsy.com/shop/BitsOfFiber?ref=ss_profile shop. That's where you need to look for more info on this little hat. These usually go fast by the time Halloween gets here so if you're thinking of getting one ... don't wait!

Pumpkin Season not too far away!


I figured I better get a head start this year on knitting some pumpkin beanies. So here is one I just finished and listed in my BitsofFiber shop on Artfire.com.

Be on the look out for a couple more felted critters in the next week or so!

Kinda crazy around the house these days ... trying to fix the guest bathroom before my visitors from Belgium show up the middle of August but we keep running into problems which keeps delaying getting things fixed up. We took out the tile and the subfloor but discovered that we might have to remove the sink and the cabinet since it was built on top of the darn tile! Grr, kinda frustrating since we hadn't planned on taking that all apart. My hubby is going to try to saw the tile along the cabinet so we won't have to move it .... not so sure if it will work ... well it might work ... just a bit worried as to how it will look like when he gets done with it! :0)

Pink Beauty and 2 Little Pumpkins



Been busy felting and knitting. I try to make at least 1 scarf, a pair of booties and a beanie. Not always that easy but hey sometimes I can even sneak in a pair of earrings, a pincushion or some other new items. Here a sneak peak of what I made this week. Taking them to the barn tomorrow, if they don't sell tomorrow they will be in my Etsy shop so come and visit my PurplePlatypus shop on Etsy and have a look!
