Eco Felt Xmas Tree Ornaments

 

Whew! November was certainly a busy month! Now Xmas is fast approaching and it's the scramble to get everything ready! Between taking care of orders, the house, shopping, baking, it's just been crazy! I was super excited to get featured on RVAnews.com recently with a bunch of other fantastic local VA Etsy sellers! Check out the article! I also hope to do a shop update sometime this week which will include some new brooches & hoops. I'm looking forward to the new year - I have some exciting new goodies to introduce including some new cell/gadget cozies and have finally decided that I am going to start offering patterns! So be on the look out in January!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am still full from the feast this afternoon but I had to go back for at least one more piece of pumpkin pie! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Happy Holidays!

The calm before the holiday storm....

I can't wait for Thanksgiving & Xmas, I have to say I love the holiday season and can't wait for the pig outs & presents! Haven't gotten around to putting up Xmas decorations or the Tree but hopefully soon, maybe this weekend! I have managed to get about 70% of my holiday shopping done & mostly online! Do you do more holiday shopping online or in stores? Everyone says "Oh, I like the atmosphere & decorations, puts me in the holiday mood to shop the stores," personally there's something about that 20 person long line in an overly warm Kohl's that takes the cheer right out of it for me :D! I love online shopping!

 Anyhow, I'll be baking it up tomorrow making Pumkpin Bread (Libby's) & Lemon Thyme Bread for Thanksgiving and working on Owl Iphone Cozies to fill the orders that are piling up! (Seriously, that many phone cozies?!) It's so difficult being a one woman show during the holidays, I need some little elves! My arm hurts, for real.

I wish I could get this Turkish Crafty Blogger over here to lend a helping hand! Here's her version of my owl iphone cozies! (And this isn't a diss for copying my work, I actually think its fun & flattering, and really who cares?). Makes me wonder if I shouldn't start selling patterns? I miss coming up with new designs all the time - have sooo many cute things in mind that I never have time for or I make prototypes and they never make it in the shop. Might be a good way for me to get my creative juices flowing again! 

Any thoughts out there? Would you be interested in patterns if I started making them? Would you prefer embroidery sheets (a page of fun & random designs) or full projects (softies, cozies, pins, etc.)?  I've been seriously considering it lately!

Mixed Batch of Xmas Ornaments

Update! What I've been working on...

Made some Christmas Ornaments in August! Still have tons more holiday items to list but I'm waiting until later this month, have some new holiday goodies in store! I'll also be offering some single ornaments!

Tweet Bird Ornaments! These are larger than the pins & keychains, I adore them! I had gotten many requests for the Tweets as ornaments so I decided to do a batch listing for them.

Been making some new plush wall hangings! I love all of these, especially the mushroom house, the inspiration came from a vintage Christmas craft book, better homes & gardens - which is awesome that someone maybe created a bunch of festive mushroom decor for Christmas, complete with little sprites! Sort of funny but nothing like some good whimsical decor!

Dala Horse Mini Plush Wall Hanging

Want to make some more of these tree & bird mobiles, they'll be part of the shop update, think I'll do some different tree shapes as well!

Added some new Eco Felt Heart Pins to the shop, will be steadily adding a ton of new merchandise this month! Plan on totally revamping my shop on Etsy so make way for more plush, more  pins, and new designs!

Custom Hoop Set I worked on last week for an etsy customer! I love the way they turned out & the colors! The fabrics were a little difficult to patchwork since many of them were larger prints but I think they'll look lovely in a bright, pretty room! It kinda makes me want to do a large hoop project!
