Felt ornaments - a few more gifts

Boxes have arrived today - excitement for the move and dread of having to pack everything up! My craft room is going to take quite a while........
WHERE are we going to put all the boxes???

I have some more photo's of felt gifts that I made for Christmas. The named ones are for a friend and her family and the hearts and circles for O's teachers at school.

The gingerbread men were cut using Sizzix die, the ornate bauble is Marianne Designs and letters for the name are MFT. The circles are spellbinders.

 

 

Most of the dies used were MFT and the flowers and ornate star/bauble are Marianne Designs.

 

I do battle getting lots of nice colours of felt. I have not ordered on-line, as truthfully, I would probably buy some in every colour (restraint and patience are not virtues of mine)! I do like physically touching and feeling what I buy, and then like to have it immediately............

 

Below is a photo of what will eventually be my "diva den".

 

 

 

Still huge amounts of work to be done, so don't know how often I will get to post in the next two months. Wish me luck!

 

Hope you all have a blessed Easter and get to spend some quality time with family and friends. Take care x

 



 

Embroidery- felt and fabric hearts

Hi there. Welcome!

This month I have been rather crafty, but no tag as yet.

I decided to give gifts to the teachers, assistants etc at O's nursery, as he is leaving to start big school. There were 12 gifts that I needed. I did not have money to go out and buy, so decided to explore what stash I had in my craft room.
My husband affectionately calls my hoarding "collecting", and it has paid off. I found felt and fabric, ribbons, buttons and beads, all waiting patiently for their turn.......
I looked through my collection of dies and settles on My Favourite Things heart. I cut out double in each fabric and then looked at the flowers etc that I had made previously.

This is what I ended up with:

Each heart was made with the recipient in mind. O and I chatted about each person and we tried to make things that he associated with that person.

I really had such fun making these. It kept my hands busy while I watched TV, so I did not feel like snacking.....

A few more pics, cause I am really happy with the way they turned out!

I will post the card I made for the nursery on a separate post.

Take care and happy crafting.
