Crafting with Buttons

 

 

 

 

 

Just finishing up some projects this afternoon and I now have a new set of my "button fruit" zip pouches listed in my shop. I love making these cute zipper pouches from felted recycled sweater wool. I added the "cherries" and "grapes" from my button stash, combined with some embroidery  leaves and stems.

Perfect for gift giving, these three dimensional pouches are approximately 9 inches by 6 inches, the perfect size for a small clutch, cosmetic case, and safekeeping small electronics such as a digital camera or iPod. Or use them to organize small items in a larger tote bag!

See these and more FeltSewGood zip pouches here

A Visit to the Country

My husband is feeling much better and getting stronger after his surgery, so a drive to the country to visit some friends was just what the doctor ordered!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 A short drive out to the country on a pretty sunny afternoon was good therapy for Randel. And a visit with old friends was fun for everyone. Their bee hives are thriving and fruit trees and berry bushes are loaded with fruit. They have new chickens, ducks and turkeys that have grown so much from the pictures we saw of the little ones in the spring.

 And we came home with some fresh garden salad veggies and fresh eggs.

 

Happy Easter!

On My Sewing Table. . .

 

 

 

 

 

I finished up a lot of sewing projects last week.

A custom order of flower pins, plush cats and pillows from a customer's own beloved sweaters.

And a set of my heart felt embroidered ornaments.

 Now I'm working on stocking up on purses, zip pouches and other accessories for the summer craft fair season. And even though I don't want to plan that far ahead, I need to photograph some new FeltSewGood items because it's time to apply for some fall craft shows.

What have you been making on lately?

New Messenger Bag from FeltSewGood

 

 

I've been working on a new messenger bag design and stocking up on inventory to sell at the Wool N Ewe Room at the Indiana State Fair. The Wool N Ewe Room is a gift shop in the Sheep Barn during the fair that features all kinds of wool, sheep, and farm and country related items.

I'll be demonstrating making my felted wool flower brooches in the shop all day on Tuesday, August 12. I'd love for you to stop in and say hello! 

 

Then I'll be making more of my new Molly Messenger Bags for the shop this fall.

The shop will be closed for a couple of days while I get ready for the first Danville Handmade Market of the season on Saturday May 10, on the square, in Danville, Indiana. Please check back when I reopen the shop on May 11.
I'll have lots of new items listed next week!
