Marie No.030

I just finished this felted cashmere flower hair clip in time for a birthday party tomorrow.  I think it looks great!  My son was invited to a birthday party for one of the little girls he went to kindergarten with last school year.  So I decided to make a gift instead of purchase one.  I think this is just adorable and I hope that she likes it as much as I do!

Marie No.030 Felted Pink and Green Cashmere Flower with Vintage Button hair clip (gift)

I'm working on more 100% US grown cotton washcloths and a petal pink and lilac double strand crochet crib blanket in acrylic.  I have several more felted flowers cut and waiting stitching.

Thanks for reading & I hope that you have a lovely weekend!

It's WoodstreamDreamWednesday

It's WoodstreamDreamWednesday - I've just added a selection of items under that category that will be onsale for the week. Those items will go full price next Wednesday and I'll have a new selection of items onsale next week. Take a peek at www.woodstreamdream.etsy.com

Yesterday I made a new round washcloth to add to my shop.  I think I'm kind of addicted to the prettiness of the round washcloth.  I think I want to make a bunch for my own home now!!!

Aunt Sally's Felted Flower Pin

This is the pin my mother-in-law ordered for her Aunt Sally's 98th birthday this weekend.  I finished stitching it tonight.

Marie Collection No.029 Felted Ivory Cashmere and Vintage Button (custom order)

Yesterday I completed crocheting a set of seven pink, white, and light brown washcloths of 100% US grown cotton.  There is a flower, granny square, circle, pentagon, hexagon, and two traditional stitched washcloths.  All of the washcloths are edged in pique for a little more fun!  I plan for these to be a gift.  I'll be making more in the next couple of weeks to add to my shop.

Thanks for viewing.  Have a blessed week.



New to the Shop

Last night I finished this baby blanket.  It's crochet in triple strand (from three different skeins) of soft acrylic yarn in white, yellow, and pale green.  It measures approximately 40x30 inches.  The blanket is edged in pique stitch.  It will be added to my shop today.

I'm posting pictures of other items I've made for my family and as gifts over the past several years.  I apparently didn't take pictures of everything because I know I've made more than this, but cannot find photos.

Coming in August...

I am borrowing an idea from one of the other MJ Farmgirls who has a Thrifty Tuesday sale.  I'll be doing WoodstreamDream Wednesdays.  On Wednesdays I'll be putting a group of items on sale.  They'll stay on sale in that section for the week.  The following Wednesday they'll go to full price and another grouping of items will go on sale for the week.  It's a simple idea an you'll be able to take advantage of starting on August 3rd!

I'm currently working on a gift for a birthday party - I'm doing a felted flower hair clip.  I'm also finishing up the scarf and adornments for my hat for this winter.  I'm working on a crib-sized baby afghan in white, yellow and pale green.  I'll also be adding more felted flowers to the shop in the next several weeks.  Many are cut out and waiting to be stitched.

Thanks for reading and have a blessed day!

Custom Felted Flower Pins

These are my latest creations for Barbara, they complete her special order of Christmas gifts for her knitting group friends.

No. 027 Ivory and Grey Felted Cashmere with Vintage Glass Button (custom order)

No.028 Crimson and Chocolate Felted Merino Wool with Vintage Brass Button (custom order)

I'll have another felted flower pin to show by the end of the weekend, the one for my mother-in-law's aunt.  These pieces are easier to work with than yarn in this 100 degree heat, so I will stitch away until it's cooler!

Have a blessed weekend!
