A few weeks ago I share pics of our playroom. On the stairway, there is a painting of a kitty chasing a mouse… all in good fun 🙂 When the children we very little, and low to the ground, they crawled up and down the stairs, putting them at eye level with the kitty and mouse. It …
One easy way to herald in any Holiday, is to simply set the table with Holiday themed napkins and napkin rings. Here are my go-to napkins… the old Rip and Tears. Easy and fast to make. Then, I reworked a heart motif that I had used last year for a necklace and brooch, and fashioned felt heart shaped napkin …
EDIT: This Give-Away is over. Thanks to everyone that participated, and a special thank you to Juile, at Prairied Point Junction for providing the materials for the Give-Away! We weren’t planning on having a Valentines Day Give-Away, but then we received an offer from Julie over at Wool Felt Central (A.K.A. Prairie Point Junction) which we couldn’t refuse. …
Although this little nosegay isn't exclusively a Valentine's design, made up in reds, pinks and maroons, this would happily embellish many Valentine's projects. One of my favorite late spring flowers is the peony. They are bold and flamboyant and their colors are lovely. The only problem is… their blooms don't last long. And it …
We would be remiss is we didn’t share a Santa… Wee Folk Art style. Here is our little Gnome for the Holidays Applique Block. I started with our basic Gnome Applique Block, increased the pattern by 200%, added a beard (there is great swirly detail in the beard that is hard to discern in the …
Last year the kids and I made these Felt and Stuffed Star Ornaments for the little tree in our family room. What I loved about this project is that each generation took a different approach to the same theme. The kids had a blast decorating their felt stars with glitter glue and sequins. I went …
(Orginally published on 11/2/08 NaturesWayLearning.com/WeeFolkActivities.com). This week we used a broad interpretation of the Unplugged Challenge theme FLAG… and went more Stars and Stripes as inspiration for these Star Ornaments. We had so much fun that even Gammy joined in and made her own. You can visit WeeFolkArt.com for her pattern. Kids’ – Mom’s – …
Here are the final directions for finishing your Winter Blues Buster Gift Box which include the Snowmen Napkins, Scarf Napkin Rings and Snowflake Wool Penny Coasters. All the crafts are easy, with the coasters being the most time consuming, but considering they are easy peasy to make, it’s hard to complain! Snowman Napkins: To make …
Every year Michelle adds a picture ornament to the tree with Bug’s, Fairy’s and Pixie’s pictures and year. This year I made the ornaments using our Christmas Tree Applique Block. The wonderful thing about this ornament, besides being adorable 🙂 is the pocket on the back. The pocket makes it possible to give this …
This is going to be my shortest blog ever! In the past 24 hours I have been bombarded with questions from people wanting to know how I cut my felt. I gave an explanation in a comment, but I’ve had follow up questions. I think the easiest way to handle this is to do a little tute. …
Long, long ago… in an enchanted forest far, far away… Last year I posted directions for making the wooden peg gnomes. They were standing in front of some felt evergreens I had just thrown together. I didn’t bother writing up the directions at the time… I wasn’t featuring the trees… they were just a backdrop …
