Valentine's Day, Felt Envelopes:DIY

 This year I really wanted to make some handmade Valentine's Day things for all my family and friends. The only thing I was worried about was not having enough time to do them. Well, I fell sick with the Flu on Saturday and I have had nothing but time.
These cute little Envelopes and Hearts I have been making have made my sickness bearable.  The Idea came from some felt envelopes I saw at Target and also on Pinterest. I can't think of anything more special than a handmade Valentines Gift. I was so Happy I could do that this year. Oh, and I am on Day 3 of the flu, I am hopeful  tomorrow I will be at least 75% better.

 Happy Valentine's Day to all of you.

I am Sending you all lots of Love!

My Felted Heart Sweater

 I really love felting!  Not only is it easy to do, it's super satisfying. I find that sweaters are the easiest to felt because of the loose knit. I have so many Ideas running through my head about different felting designs. I hope I am able to dive into all of them this spring.
Right now I am nursing a pretty good cold so I hope over the next few days i will be able to create  about 4 more heart  Diy's Just in time for Valentine's Day.<3  I  have Linked all of the Supplies in the Things you need list.

Sending Love to all of you!

Yarn Feathers, DIY

I have seen a few of these feather Tutorials on Pinterest. I was so fascinated by them  I had to make some of my very own.  I have been making them while we watch Blacklist, an old series, that we are so addicted to right now. I think  am going to incorporate them in my Spring garland,  but for now I am making pink,white and coral for Valentine's Day.

The Twelve Days of Christmas Crafting: Day 12, Pom Pom Wreath.

 Well here we are on the last day of My Twelve days of Christmas Crafting. Phewww I did it!
 This was an idea I got from a wonderful friend of mine Karen Miller, except she used the loopy yarn and put trees in the bottom. It was so beautiful and  I was so inspired, that I had to make one too. The one thing was they only had one package of loopy yarn, and it just wasn't enough so I used a vintage white, big blanket yarn, instead. I also  used different sized Pom Poms instead of Trees.  This would be so cute with little hearts hanging for Valentines day or Little snowmen for January. Whatever you decide to do with it is up to you, and making it personal is what Crafting and Diy-ing is all about.
I hope all of you had a Very Merry Christmas. Mine was spent with Family, eating, opening gifts, laughing  and Playing Werewolf( if you haven't heard of it, look it up, its great to play with a big group of people.)I hope All of you Had a Beautiful Christmas.

The Twelve Days of Christmas Crafting: Day 11, Tinsel Trees 101.

 Little Tinsel Trees are everywhere this season. Wouldn't it be nice if you could make one yourself and in  the color you want.
These cute little Trees are super easy to make and with a few supplies you could have your very own Tinsel Tree Town.
Hey everyone and welcome to Day 11, of my "Twelve Days of Christmas Crafting" I am on the last two DIY's of this Christmas series.
 I love little tinsel trees and love them even more now  because I made them myself. Just think you can make them Big, Medium or Small. and as many as you want.

I Hope all of you are having a wonderful Christmas season. It always goes by  so fast for me. I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of these DIY's and I do believe it has revived me and how I feel about blogging. I hope you have enjoyed it too. 

Sending  Peace and Love to all of you  this Christmas.

Twelve Days of Christmas Crafting: Day 10, Christmas, Tree Tea Towels

 I am on the last couple of Projects for my 12 Days of Christmas Crafting. Next Christmas I am going to Start way earlier.  Even though I loved every second of doing it, Time always seemed to be pushing against me.  Even though I only have two projects left my wish would have been to have been finished about a week ago or a little earlier. It is what is this year .
 Next year will be different.
These cute little Tea Towels are really easy to make and you can do any design you would like. Hearts, Birds, flags, Snowmen.When you want to personalize something this is just the ticket.
When I  Am done with my Twelve days I am making a ton of these, in  different themes.
I hope you are all enjoying family and friends this Christmas season because it is truly all we really have, the friends and family in our lives are our greatest gifts.
Make sure they know how important they are.

The Twelve Days of Christmas of Christmas Crafting: Day 9, Felted Polka Dot Sweater.

 Day 9, Of my Twelve days of  Christmas Crafting. I really wanted to do a Christmas Fashion DIY  in one of these  projects.  I have seen so many cute Retro Polka Dots this Holiday Season I thought it would look wonderful on a sweater. Felting is always an  awesome way to get that look store bought look . It is also pretty easy to accomplish and does not take that much time. I did this sweater in about an hour.
All you need is a few felting supplies.( I found all of mine at Hobby Lobby)
Do not waist your time looking at Michael's they have nothing there for felting.
This Sweater turned out just as I imagined, and I love it so much I was thinking of polka dot felting everything. I think a polka dot tea towel would be awesome for my kitchen.
 Enjoy
