Crafty Interlude

I have been crafting! Things have been made for swaps and giveaways, things have been made for friend's babies.

Ravenhill was the winner of my 2nd blogiversary giveaway and I promised a baby blanket of her choice! She chose a Little Red Riding Hood blankie. Then I promised another to Beth over at Red Yarn for the opening of her new studio....check out her blog to read all about Hatch Studio and Gallery - a place for kids to learn art and to participate in creative past-times! It opens this Saturday in Lancaster, Pennsylvania - check it out if you are in the neighbourhood!

Blankie made for Ravenhill.....

I am running out of felted pre-felt, I will have to buy some more pre-felt and take the chance of it getting smooshed up in a ball or completely wrinkled in my washing machine...sometimes it comes out all right, sometimes it doesn't. Stitching it to a sheet for the felting process helps some, but it's still a learning experience for me in terms of getting it right every time....I hate to think how much pre-felt has been wasted in the washing! I also want to try to dye some of my own pre-felt because I'm running out of the colours that have been inspiring me so much!
