I Never Knew.......

That a pound of felt could be so much fun!

I've seen a lot of crafting with felt being done, especially on Elizabeth's blog and on Holly's blog Cotton Pickin'fun and I decided I wanted to give crafting with felt a try.

I wanted some different colors besides the seasonal felt squares you can find at Michaels but I wasn't sure where to look.

Elizabeth suggested buying the felt at Joggles.....I visited the website and found out I was able to buy a pound of scrap felt! No promises as to what colors the pound of felt would be made up of......

You know sort of like a grab bag!

A couple of patterns sketched

And I was on my way!

It's been years since I've done any hand stitching.......and I sure can tell! My stitches are not always even, and some are longer than others.

But,

It sure is fun trying something different!

    Hey, nice stitching! That is a great selection of "scraps" too. I know that I have way more fun being creative with scraps, especially other people's because they don't seem to come with any "expectations." Have fun!

    I love playing with felt but I'm not the best of friends with my needle and thread. Looks like you are having fun! Enjoy! Happy creating!

    What adorable sketches! I can't wait to see the finished product. I buy from Joggles too, but never knew that they sell by the pound! Lol-i just get the felt that I need and quickly order because if I don't my Joggles bill ends up being more than my electric bill :)
    Have a wonderful day and happy stitching,
    Holly
