Calling all crafters!


No matter what your preferred medium of crafting, here is a blog for you! Every entry is a project (most of which are free btw). From knitting, to sewing, to needlepoint and crochet, it never fails to inspire. I adore it. I am swooning over the Charlie Harper needlepoint designs currently. The perfect blend of traditional and modern, which is exactly my style, transitional. I have a deep love of mid-century modern, but my fondness for traditional pieces is undeniable. Go. Visit. Enjoy.

Felted Wool Wonderful

I made this little beauty a few days ago and could not believe how easy it was! A few pieces of loose wool (roving), a template, and a felting needle can create some amazing stuff! Here was my first attempt, a pink rose to go on a hat I knitted for H. I am going for a flapper type cloche hat, it should be perfect. I am so excited for how easy this was to do while watching tv. I got my supplies from JoAnns and all the instructions were included in the template. You also need a "mat' that looks more like a scrub brush to me. It was shockingly inexpensive for fiber arts supplies. For more info go here. Let me know if any of you are already into this or try it out.
