Inspired by Felt.

Hello, my loves! I've finally have my life's goal ALL planned out. I'm so excited!! I just need to get this handmade/vintage business really going. I've been crafting as much as I can lately. It feels so great to make something that is adorable It's very empowering. I've been experimenting with a lot of different things and I'll show you all my end products whenever I'm satisfied. My favorite thing to work with lately is FELT. It's so versitile and fantastic. Here are some felt inspired pictures to start your lovely Saturday.

Yarn Wreaths!

Hey guys! Me and my friend, Courtney decided last minute that we wanted to make yarn wreaths REALLY late last night. Hobby Lobby was closed of course so we HAD to go to the only place open, which was Wal-Mart. They didn't have styrofoam wreaths. :( The only thing they had was the twig wreath which is WAY too bumpy. We HAD to do them last night so we rigged the twig wreaths a little with duct tape. Haha! You can fix anything with that stuff. It didn't turn out too bad, but next time we're going to use the styrofoam wreaths.




Here's mine.


and Courtney's.

The Crafty Fox.

Hey guys! I finally got started on my dream of selling homemade items, vintage goodies, independent art, etc. I'm calling it The Crafty Fox. I'm so excited! We'll be opening a store on Etsy.com soon and I'll be sure to update you on that. I've been crafting away for the past few days and my mind is FLOODED with all sorts of ideas. While at work, I've been cross stitching like crazy. I love it so much. I never want to stop. I've found out that the best way to get a cross stitching project done is to listen to music while doing it. I've been listening to a band called Chief. I highly recommend that you listen to them.
