Holiday felted pincushions up for grabs!
Finally found some time to list these two pincushions in my BitsOfFiber shop on Etsy. I've had a heck of a time with getting the red color from the one to come across correctly over the PC. It always seems to look too orangy then what it really is. I've tried taking a picture indoors, then outdoors, outdoors again with no sunlight, indoors in my white booth but still it didn't turn out right. I think the ones I posted now are the closest I can get and if you're looking on Etsy, picture number five is the best representation of the true color it is. These make perfect gifts for a crafty person, a seamstress, a quilter or your mother-in-law who knits or crochets. It's a gift that will last and is very useful on top of it!

A cute valentine bird, a pair of felted slippers and another hat
I've been working hard on getting something new in my shop for valentine's day so I made this little felted bird. I wasn't sure what else to do with him until he landed on this wooden heart I had laying on my studio table and voila ... added a magnet with a thimble, a bit of bird seed and we have a cute little pincushion ... of course you can just have him sitting around without poking him with pins or needles. He will make the perfect gift for somebody who loves to sew, quilt, craft or a pincushion collector.
I had made these brown and creme color wool slippers a while ago and hadn't done anything with them. I finally made the time to crochet some acorns which I also fulled in the washing machine and then attached to the slippers. I added some anti-slip dots with some fabric paint which is an easy way to do that.
I forgot I had knitted this hat a long time ago, I just never listed it in my shop, but it is now.
The bird is in my PurplePlatypus shop on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/listing/67443462/needle-felted-valentine-bird-on-a-wooden and the slippers and hat are in my BitsOfFiber shop http://www.etsy.com/listing/67456723/multicolor-youthteenager-ski-or
