Having seen some amazing felt creations while browsing around on-line I was prompted to ask my friend if her Cuttlebug machine could cut through felt, and, on finding that it did, without further ado I hurried round there with my gargantuan stack of felt. An enjoyable afternoon later I found myself with a whole new pile of fuzzy felt pieces, and this is what I did with them.Its official. I now NEED a Cuttlebug!
If you want to see where I got my inspiration, and swoon over some much much nicer examples, check out Beedeebabee's blog.
Even more felty goodness with the arrival from Amazon, hot off the presses, of this wonderful book. Felt Friends from Japan: 86 Super-cute Toys and Accessories to Make Yourself
The little felt animals in here (and they are little, most would sit neatly in the palm of your hand) are so completely retro, and so utterly adorable I could almost squeal with delight. No, thats not quite true. I actually DID squeal with delight. The family think I've gone mad!
Isn't that Babycham style deer the most kitschy fabulous felty thing you've ever seen? I am definitely going to make me one of those.
Last, but not least, a fabulous surprise in the post today when Karan sent me a present of a gorgeous chart, Dandy Dreams by Silver Creek Samplers, and this gorgeous stitched card.
Thank you Karan, I'm touched by your kindness.
Oh so many fabulous ideas. I love your paisley hearts. I feel the strong urge to covet the book. I really know I do not have places to put any new collections of supplies. But - - -

I am coveting that Silver Creek design one I have liked for a while, hmmm perhaps, also like the new ones they have out . Oh us crafty stitchers will never be rich.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift from Karan. Those Silver Creek Sampler charts are lovely to stitch.
Those paisley hearts are awesome, I love the colors! That book looks cool as well, I really like the deer on the cover.
ReplyDeleteI remember Fuzzy Felt! I had a couple of them when I was little living in England. One I had was a hospital and boy did I love playing with that. Maybe that is why I love playing with felt now as a semi-adult...lol. I refuse to believe we really have to grow up in the end thus the semi. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your hearts!
