New Holiday "Heart Felt" Ornaments

I've just made a new batch of "Heart Felt" hearts!

I've been getting reading for the first holiday shoppers in my Etsy shop, Felt Sew Good. I'm not an early shopper myself, but some of you may want to get a head start. These are the latest version of my "Heart Felt" embroidered hearts. I love these little hearts, and they are fun to make. These cute puffed heart ornaments were made from felted recycled wool sweaters. They are embroidered in traditional Christmas colors of red, gold, dark green, light green and cream and each is accented with a tiny vintage button. They are blanket stitched around the edge and "puffed" with a little stuffing. Each heart has a tiny red satin ribbon loop for hanging. The back of each ornament is unadorned. They would be lovely hanging on your Christmas tree, or spreading holiday cheer anywhere in your home. Or use one as a sweet accent tied to that very special holiday gift!

Textural Treasure!

Strawberrymoonbeam just included one of my new tote bags in her "wish list" Treasury.

She included this grey Madison tote bag.

The treasury is fulled of beautiful grey textiles, art, clothes and accessories. You can check it out here. Strawberrymoonbeam has a cute Etsy shop of her own, which you can check out here. Happy shopping!

New Handbag Styles

I just added some new handbags to my shop, Felt Sew Good.

This is the new Madison tote bag, in medium gray with navy and cream stripes.

This the Emma handbag in a beautiful rich burgundy wool with button detail.

The Sabrina is a bit smaller, classic style handbag in a soft chocolate brown with a mother-of-pearl buckle.

And this Jasper style handbag, in oatmeal colored wool is the popular pleated bag.

These bags, and all of the toys and accessories in my shop, Felt Sew Good, have been designed and handmade by me, from felted, recycled wool sweaters.

A Bountiful Harvest!

Even though it's been a sometimes too wet, and kind of cool summer, we are getting a bountiful late harvest of vegetables.

I picked a basket full of tomatoes to make a big batch of chilli. It's great to have in the freezer for an easy homemade meal! And the beautiful bell peppers are great for stuffing, to use with stir fry, pepper steak and also freeze well to use over the winter.

I made the fun collage of my vegetables using the new collage feature in Picnik! Picnik is a photo editing software that you use in your online browser. It has lots of fun photo editing features, and fonts shapes and seasonal graphics that are easy to use.
