MLCCB #60: Christmas Lights

 Hello Crafty Friends and Happy New Year of 2025 !!  In this new year make sure you make time for yourself, everyone needs "me" time.  Mindfulness and Meditation equals a calm soul.

Here's my post for MLCCB Anything Christmas Goes.

A couple years ago I did a svg file of these Christmas lights for a project, these were left over staring at me.  They were a perfect fit to make a card. Stamped a sentiment that seemed fitting to the design.

LTSCB #171 Anything Goes: Cute Pets Bookmark

 Hello Crafty Friends and Happy New Year!! These years are going by so fast... Just breathe and always remember to make time for yourself.  

Here's my post for for LTSCB Anything Goes.

This cute stamp set is from Sugar Pea Designs called Sprout Bloom Grow. Each layer of the animals were stamped and fussy cut out, or course I had to color them a little to add even more dimension. A little sewing, because the sewing machine needs some use.  

The bookmark die cut is from My Favorite Things.  Which makes it very easy to make bookmarks.

LTCCB #84: Felt Knitted Gnome

 Hello Crafty Friends and Happy New Year !!  Another fabulous year to make happy changes in our lives.  

Here's my post for LTCCB Anything Crafty Goes.

My son was working on a project for his girlfriend and needed a little felt needle work for some details.  There are a lot of crafts out there, but I never heard of Felt Needle Knitting.  While at the store, I bought a little kit to try this new craft out.  I didn't like the colors in the kit, so I picked up a package a wool with many colors to choose from. I made my gnome friend.

Now I'm addicted to this new little hobby.  I don't know if it's the stabbing or challenge of taking some wool and making a creation out of it, but I'm enjoying.  My kids bought me a advent calendar of a scene to build ... all felt knitting.
