Yummy Do-nuts!!


I made this little felt donut from a kit I bought on Etsy. She does not list this kit anymore..its been awhile since I purchased it.
It was very easy to do and required just a little sewing. I am not very good with a needle and thread so I was glad that I could handle this project! His name is Isaac..kind of reminds me of icing which is the best part of the donut!
The sprinkles are just little stitches, I tried beads but it looked wonky.

A Friendly Monster



This little Monster was originally going to be a bear..but decided that with her perfectly rectangle body, a little round head on top would be weird...soooooo a monster was born!!
She is completely needle felted. Her eye is a bead.
Her arms and legs move and she can sit and stand. She loves art and can often be seen swimming with the crayons. She is also a fan of glue..but glue and felt is a pretty dangerous situation!
I told Keely since this Monster was just practice she could have her. So Keely named her Princess Buttercup. Henry is going to draw me a monster to needle felt so that will be my next project!!

Puffer Fish!!!



I made this puffer fish with a kit I got from here: The Licorice Tree!
It was a gift from my sister. I was surprised at how easy it was to put together. He actually is a pretty awesome pin cushion I must say. I named him Paco.
Needle felting is fun and easy. You may get poked by a needle a few times but the final product is worth it!!

Snow Globes!!!



The kids and I decided that making snow globes would be fun!
I got a few little plastic treats on Etsy...They are really cupcake toppers but I just cut off the sticks if they had them. We used Martha Stewart Glitter and a bit of glycerin to make the sparkles float a little. The little jar is a spice jar from costplus and the large is a canning jar..I got those from my neighbor. In the future I will out something under the scene so that you can see it better.

Keely's Birthday Card



I made this collage card for Keely's Birthday. She is very into art now so I figured she would appreciate it if I actually made her a card. She loved it!

Button Boo-quets..




I made these little bouquets for Halloween to give to the kids teachers. I love a quick project that uses stuff I already have. The kids picked the buttons and stacked them, I twisted them together.
