Valentine Burlap Love Birds


It's definitely time to switch Holiday gears. I'm moving on to Valentine's Day. Who's with me?? I'm skipping the whole New Years thing....I don't know why but I've never had an easy time making any kind of New Years craft. 

So, Love Birds.




What you'll need:
Red Felt (trimmed to bird shapes)
Burlap Circles  
Paper
Stamps
Fusible Webbing
Hand Towel

~Trim the felt into bird shapes. 
~Stamp onto the paper with some different designs (I used a heart design and music notes). 
~Tear around (and out) each design. 
~Use the fusible webbing and to attach the circle of burlap to the felt (trim the webbing to be the exact size of the circle) and place it under the towel and iron it. 
~Do the same with the piece of paper. 
~Thread something though it and decorate a branch with it, should you like!!

Wool and The Gang


Sorry I didn't get my party up this week, folks!!  Things were just so busy right around the holidays....it absolutely slipped my mind!! It will definitely be up this Sunday with all kinds of fun features, because you guys always go above and beyond. You totally inspire me. 

I wanted to tell you about a fun little online shop called Wool and the Gang. It's a very all-inclusive knitting site that sells all kinds of knitting kits and finished pieces. They have got some very high quality alpaca knitting wool that are used in some of the patterns. Though the prices can be high, the quality of the wool and the pattern is represented well. 

A Knit Kit Gift is a great idea for present for the New Year....it's so cozy to be sitting in your warm house, with your fleece pants on, fuzzy socks, pony tails and a nice romance movie on the tv while you begin a new project. Okay, so now you know what I do in the winter time. :-) 

Look at this sweater:

Such a gorgeous piece, right? This is one of the kits you could make. Click on this link HERE to learn more about it.  

Here is one that you could just buy and be totally pleased with....

You can find Wool and The Gang here:
