Thank you for dropping by today - hopefully you'll leave a little bit inspired by some of the neat things others have been creating!
I'd never really used felt before until recent months. Subconsciously I think I had an idea that perhaps it would tear or look "handled" quickly from trying to work with it. Anyhoo needless to say I was wrong and it's fun and easy to work with! And the Falalala book had me sold on it!
Two items I loved making from it: a star garland and the paisley sock ornament.
Both for Miriam for our Advent Swap. Notice the blue, purple and green? and the Paisley? : )
What materials have you worked with that surprised you?
Thanks for linking up and of course we have the awesome giveaway from Lydia's Treasures this month! Photo coming soon!
Looking forward to seeing what you've got to show!
