Spring!

A custom wreath I just finished. Love daisies!

It's A Boy! for Julie

I made this wreath the other day for a baby shower I went to yesterday. It was for a friend I used to work with. She is going to stay home with her baby too! We are excited because she lives about 5 minutes from me. Play dates! We all know that play dates with infants are just mommy dates. =)

I'm definitely going to make some of these for my shop. They are perfect for hospital doors, front doors or baby's door to announce baby's arrival! 

Wreath - Browns and Reds for Erin's Birthday

I made this wreath for my oldest friend. Yesterday was her birthday! =)

March is coming! Yay!

I JUST finished and listed this St. Patrick's Day themed wreath. I'm gaga over it! It will be hard to part with it when it sells.

Happy V-Day from FF

Wall Letters - My Spin

Ok, I found a cool way to set my wall letters apart from the others out there. What is the secret? you ask... None other than felt of course! Why didn't I think of this sooner!? Here are the latest letters I painted. I added felt roses to two of them. So fun.

The a and y are green on the sides. 

I am in love with these. I can't wait to find out what our second baby is so I can start on letters for the sweet one. =)

Down Time

Ok, so I'm not really having down time, but my shop kind of is. I'm working on a commission for hand-painted wall letters. They are turning out super cute! I painted them and now I just need to attach ribbons, photograph them and post them. I decided to do custom, hand-painted wall letters in my shop now. It's something I love doing. Working on custom orders is always fun. I just get so giddy thinking about how much they are going to love it!

Here are some examples of what I've done in the past. I wish I had better photos of them. 

Close-up of the red bandana print - Those paint pens can be boogers!!

For some reason this one won't go the right direction. So annoying.

Houndstooth R

These are my favorite. I love the damask.

I went beyond what I thought I was capable of with this one so I'm a little proud. =)

New Year

I'm going to try to be better about posting....even though I don't know if anyone reads this. Maybe more people will read if I post more often. ;) I may not always post something involving felt, but I will try to post something!

I made this iPaci clip for my friend Leah's baby girl. She started day care today so her mommy could go back to nursing school. I think it's the best one yet. I included a mommy app so that she will always have her mommy close by. (It's the pink heart one)

The apps are:

facebook, text messaging, camera

notepad, iTunes, iPod

mommy, email, calendar

Christmas 2010

This Christmas I decided to make gifts for our family rather than buying them. Christmas can get quite expensive and this saved us a lot of money. I drew out patterns for a fleur de lis and a cross several weeks ago. My dad and I cut them out using his band saw. Then I customized each one with paint and handmade felt flowers. Each one was made to suit the person it was given to. It was so much fun but took a lot of time. I'm glad to have given such a special gift this year. =) Now I can get back to working on things for my shop...like more of these! I decided they would be a great thing to sell in my Etsy shop. =) Fun Fun!

Here are a few of them. I wish I had better photos. I took these at the last minute. Silly me. 

It's the Holiday Season!

 One of my favorite things to decorate with at Christmas time is peppermints and all other kinds of red and white things! A friend of mine has a tree in every room of her house. Yes, every room! Talk about a dream house! Each tree has a different theme and the one in her living room was red and white. I LOVED it. When I grow up I want a Christmas tree in every room of my house. =) 

I hope you like this peppermint bow I made! It is available in my Etsy store now!
