Felt forth, my friends!

Well, Charlotte is demanding that we update the blog, so I thought we would showcase some of our recent craftiness. Have I mentioned that I love making felted bowls? They are fast, easy, and they don't have to fit anybody's head, body, etc. Perfect! Here's my little family of felted bowls.






Here's the pink one before felting: Cool, huh?


I've also been a sewing maniac. I've got my own little sweatshop in the basement! Here are some of my recent productions. Pants and skirt for Gracie Bear from Portobello Pixie patterns.




Here's Gracie-boo in a skirt from some great Japanese import fabric and Amy Butler trim:


Charlotte wanted a skirt in all pink, but my favorites to sew are those rockin' patterns.


These pants are probably my favorite. Our friend Jordan was over with his kids when I finished them, and he said he needs a pair in red velvet. You'll look fabulous, Jordan!


I also was inspired to sew a skirt for myself. It turned out great! I'm so pleased. It's a barcelona skirt from Amy Butler in baby wale corduroy.


William and his dad got crafty (I mean manly) with their pinewood derby car. It's the coolest thing ever! It won awards for the best design.






Charlotte and Gracie in an early morning art session. Check out Gracie's back hair tuft. She's looking quite a bit like Benjamin Franklin with that 'do.





And for a final bit of craftiness, my little glass cozies that I make from felted sweaters and embroider with Japanese critters. So cute!! Everyone tells me I should sell them.
