Valentine's Day Crafting

We are getting ready for the lovin'-est holiday of the year, and what Valentine's Day would be complete without conversation hearts? Here's a project you can craft up in no time for your honey or your secret crushmuffin.


Here is how to needle felt your very own conversation hearts.

Supplies:
Heart shaped cookie cutter
Wool roving in Pink, White, Yellow, Lavender, Mint and Peach
Felting needle
Felting surface (foam, brush or sponge)

Instructions:
Fill your cookie cutter with wool roving. Place on felting surface and poke with felting needle until it holds its shape and develops a smooth surface. Repeat for all conversation hearts.



Decide on what sayings you want on your hearts. Using an ultra fine point Sharpie in hot pink, write your sayings on the hearts with a gentle jabbing motion.

Cute!

Tweedy Goodness!

We just received a box full of Peace Fleece tweed wool roving for spinning and felting. I'm in love with tweed! I'm currently daydreaming about spinning tweedy yarns and then perhaps taking a little break to needle felt a growling grizzly bear wearing an adorable tweed sweater. Check out how luscious it is! How can I choose between colors like Blueberry Borscht and Kamchatka Sea Moss?



We also have tons of Peace Fleece's tweedy yarn in the shop for all of our knitters and crocheters!
