LTCCB #92: Strange Plants

 Hello Crafty Friends!  Spring is here and the flowers and plants are starting to look beautiful. I decided to share some of my plants .... they are a little different.  

This is my post for LTCCB, Anything Crafty Goes

They are different because they are felt knitting plants.  I have shared some of my past felt knitting projects, now something fun and different.  My boys got me this kit and it's enough to make several funny plants. I'm sharing the two they ask me to make....so far.

This one is a little goofy.  I love the teeth and horn on this one. Different type of cactus, I'm sure he is harmless.

A little surprise in the pot, like Harry Potter.  I like how you have to pull the plant out to see the character and it's a cutie.  The kit came with 3 little clay pots and many different designs, but they really want you to create a plant of your own.  If you haven't tried felt knitting, you really should give it a try.

MLCCB #63: Felt Knitting Christmas Land

 Hello Crafty Friends :o)

Christmas in July it is ..... This is my post for MLCCB, anything Christmas.

My boys got me an advent calendar for felt knitting and I LOVED it!!!  Taking the wool and sculpting it into little magical pieces was very mindful. 

Lots of presents and some trees.

The sleigh was presents.  Some of the finer details could be difficult, but I was learning with each piece how to take small pieces of wool to make the details.

Santa was fun.  I made his hat differently and the white really fluffy.  His beard is just rolling the wool.

Just small pieces of tiny wool to make the POST letters.

Baby deer in a stocking... how cute

The house, which was the hardest part, because each wall had to be precise.

The needles are very sharp doing this felt knitting, so wear the little leather finger covers they give you in the kit and buy a few extra to protect a few more fingers.  Most kits come with 1-3 needles, but a few more, because they will break sometimes doing the simplest detail work.

thanks for looking and reading :o)
