Close ups!

Felted "Penny Rug" style wall art

Well I finally took some pics of the penny rug style family art pieces. This is the reason for the new embellisher that I just had to have. I started these last year for Christmas but discovered that time was not sufficient to finish them. Each tongue features the names of the family members. As I have 4 brothers, each one is similar but all different too. Dad got the first one.  They are all wool felt, some new most recycled and dyed with kool-aid or acid  dyes.  Will post again when I have more finished.

Felting Going Strong!

My new Pfaff felting/embellishing machine is the best new machine in a long time, and this from a self-proclaimed gadget girl.
It works just great! Will post other pics of the main reason for the purchase, but for now here are the cup cozies that I'm selling on Etsy.



They are selling well so far. My tags are not finished yet but they work really well for hot drinks or cold. I think I've finally found something that indulges my need to collect fiber and yarn when knitting is not my thing.
