Lego Rosary and Giveaway

By on January 26, 2011 in giveaways, lego fun, Lego Rosary, Prudence and Virtue

Last week I mentioned a project which I promised to share with you all and here it is.  Actually I have been planning on sharing it with you since two Easters ago!!!  Man am I a procrastinator.  I was reading through my list of things to do and it has been at the bottom of the pile for a long time.  Did any of you guess it was a lego rosary?  Well, if you did, could you also tell me what the local winning lotto numbers will be? Actually my friend Cristina probably could have guessed because I discussed making them with her last year.

I will be putting these in my store today but I wanted to share them with you first!  

 Here is the exciting part… I am giving one away to a lucky blog reader!  Cuz, I love you all so much.

I heart wool felt

By on January 19, 2011 in about me, felt

Today is my birthday, yippee!!  I have spent the last two days being taken care of, laying in bed, out and about, having my meals brought to me and getting lots of hugs and kisses.

I heart felt as you can probably tell from some of my projects.  I use alot of felt in my studio but most of my projects I have to make from eco-felt so that my wonderful customers can afford them.  Wool felt however is my favorite right beside wool rovings and yarn.  Once you use wool felt, the cheap stuff at the stores just won’t seem right anymore. Wool felt is so soft and whatever you make with it looks so nice.

Back to my day of rest.  I did go to the mail box and what I found inside made my birthday even better.

  I ordered some wool felt from a new source last week, a wonderful store called Felt on the Fly.  From the moment I asked a few questions to the shop owner and placed my order I received nothing but the best service and made a new friend.  This girl is super cool and today when I got my package I was so impressed by the felt but the best part was the thought she put into packaging it and even included some wool felt swatches and a cute little ornament.

If you need some super nice wool felt, or have never used it, go check out Felt on the Fly here.  She has every color you can think of, the prices are great and you will love dealing with such a cool person.
