So obviously I haven't kept up with the whole weekly post thing! Oh well, life just gets in the way sometimes! I haven't done much lately. I made some curtain ties and a felted kindle cover for myself. For those who don't know what felted means....you use 100% wool yarn and use a much larger hook or knitting needles that you usually would, this makes the product look pretty holey. You also make the pattern a lot larger than it would normally be. Once you have made the object, you wash it in hot water either by hand or machine. You have to keep an eye on it though as it starts to shrink! Kinda like shrinky dinks except with wool! Pretty soon all the holes are "felted together" and the fabric feels like a very think felt. You can even cut it once it is felted and it will not unravel. Pretty cool stuff!
I made some baby flip flops the other day. So cute!
On the agenda for this week are cupcake hats. We are having a ladies banquet at church and the theme is sweet stuff and costumes are encouraged and the best one gets a prize! I can't wait, it is going to be so much fun! If anyone would like to come, it is Saturday, May 12 at 6 pm at Victory Independent Baptist Church located South of Yellville. If you would like more info, please contact me!
