Felted Earrings and a Wall Plaque

I just realized I have about 6 pairs of earrings I made and need to take pictures of to put in my shop. Took these today ... more to follow in the next couple of days ... or weeks ... we're suppose to get more snow tomorrow and more on the w/end! Yeahhh, love watching the snowflakes dance out of the sky, only problem is that I take my pictures outside and with it snowing that just doesn't get done. But at least I have this pair to show you. Also a mixed media wall hanging I made and put in my Etsy shop. I'm working on a wine bottle cozy ... hope to finish it this evening so I can hopefully take some pictures of it tomorrow ... snow or no snow!

Valentine stuff

I've been working on Valentine's Day items for my shop but the two I had finished are already sold and on the way to Oregon ... (Thank you Debra!). I'll have 2 more things for the shop, I just need to take pictures of them. The pictures in this post are of the items that sold.

Arts and Crafts for helping the people in Haiti

For those of you interested in helping out the people in Haiti ... check out http://crafthope.com/ they have created an Etsy shop called crafthope (http://www.etsy.com/shop/crafthope) TWO days ago and have been able to raise over $7,000.00 with artists/crafters donating some of their items and putting them up for sale at this shop. I have donated a pair of baby shoes and will be donating more items as each one sells. For those of you who love to shop instead of creating please have a peek in the shop I'm sure you'll find something that strikes your fancy.

Itty Bitty Bunny her name is Sweet Pea

Here she is ... she started out with short ears but as I worked on her shape she looked so much cuter as a lop bunny so here she is. I don't have her in my Etsy shop yet since I'm still working on painting her little wooden basket she will be living in! I used Merino sheep's fleece and real angora bunny fleece to make her. Her eyes are glass beads. Sweet Pea is the easiest little pet you'll ever have to take care of.

Snowflake Scarf!

Finally finished this snowflake scarf I've been working on forever it seems! This time I used a darker chiffon background to show off the flakes more. I'll be putting it in my PurplePlatypus shop later today so if you're interested go and have a look. I'm working on a new design for spring, so no snowflakes but something different. As long as I can get it to turn out the way I have it in my head, which can be a challenge sometimes. I know exactly how I want it to look but getting to that look is not easy sometimes. I like to do things different then what the book tells me ... I start out following instructions or patterns and then my mind just totally refuses to follow what it says and off I go ... doing my own thing. Bad part is that if it's something I need to duplicate (like knitting another sleeve ...) "Houston, we have a problem!" since I have a dislike on writing down how I've changed the pattern and made up my own! Maybe someday they will come up with an electronic devise that can keep track of that and make my life a heck of a lot easier!

Nola a Little White Sheep

Oh these are just too much fun to make! I had made an owl and a penguin, now Nola a little sheep and I'm working on a white bunny. I understand this can easily become an addiction! I have about 10 other things on my to-do list for today so the bunny will have to wait till later. Nola is in my Etsy shop waiting to be addopted into a nice home!

Pink Snowflake Scarf

This seems like a never ending project! But, it's almost done ... a little bit more work adding fleece on the back, then off to the basement for the wet felting process and maybe by tomorrow I can take pictures of it and put it on Etsy! I just wish I could somehow keep the real fluffiness of the edges the way they are now like in the pictures. Unfortunately after the wet felting part it will be down a lot except for the curly locks I used they will stick up a bit. If anybody knows of a way to keep this fluffy look let me know!!!
