EPP Baby Christmas Ball Rattle

 I’m not into quilting, the traditional quilting I’m referring too.  Somehow I ran into EPP (English Paper Piecing) looking on Youtube and I had to give it a try.  I made a few EPP Baby Ball Rattles (which I’ve posted before) and figured I should make some for Christmas as well.  I finished the green one yesterday and started working on the blue one with the cute little penguins.  They will both go into my Bits Of Fiber Etsy shop if you are interested in purchasing one.  I make them with a loop attached so it can be attached to a stroller or carseat to keep those little busy hands and brains busy.   I made a short video as well so you can actually hear what the rattle sounds like.  It’s definitely a nice soothing sound.  Let me know what you think!

This one is listed in my Bits Of Fiber Etsy shop.

Pumpkin hats for your little pumpkin

 I like a knitting or crocheting project while I watch TV ... or I guess it's the other way around.  I've done needle felting as well except it's more risky.  Meaning it's easy to injure oneself while poking a very sharp barbed needle so close to your fingers so one must pay attention.  Knitting I can practically do with my eyes closed, crocheting as well but it depends on the project.   Anyways, here are some pumpkin hats I made while watching TV.  

This one is crocheted.  It was in my Etsy shop but has sold.


This one is knitted with a very soft cotton yarn.
It's still available in my Bits Of Fiber Etsy shop:

Christmas tree ornaments for your furry or naked felines

 Been working on more cat toys … Christmas trees this time.   Pretty enough to hang in your tree but that might not be the smartest move if you tempt to do that!  You could always give your felines and tom cats their very own tree and put our ball ornaments and Christmas tree ornaments in it!  That would actually make for a very sweet gift to a cat rescue place.   Get a small tree from the Dollar Store and hang all or some of our toys in it and deliver it.  We can also mail toys directly as a gift to someone or some place.  Just put a message with your order and we’ll be happy to take care of it, even include a card if you like.
