Needle Felting


I've discovered a new craft: needle felting! This is my very first needle felted project. In case you can't tell, it's a half-curled up hedgehog. I've also felted a few balls, which my cats love to fish out of their bowl and play with. :)

Handmade Cards





These are a couple of cards that I've made recently. The one with the baby birds was for mother's day, the one with the sparkles was for my dad's birthday, and the last couple were just cute doodles that turned out pretty well.

granny blankets


I have a couple of granny square blankets I'm working on right now. Here's a picture of the one I started today. I was inspired when I bought a box full of yarn ends, etc from ebay, and I'm having fun picking out the colors. I'm not sure what I'll do with it... Maybe it'll end up large enough for our bed! I'm also working on a light and dark blue one, but I don't currently have any pictures. It's a lot bigger than this started one, and I think it might be a baby blanket.

Sliced Shells


I just got a Dremel tool, and I've been looking for fun ways to use it. I took one of the shells I had found in Florida, and even though it took me about 45 minutes, I managed to cut through the middle of it. Despite the fact that I have absolutely no idea what to do with it, it looks really cool.
