Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! We are anticipating (eagerly) a fantastic and prosperous year!

Now, for my craft of the week.

With the hustle and bustle of Christmas now safely behind us, I am in a bit of a craft lull.I was so focussed on completing the gifts I was making that once I was done all I wanted to do was read for a bit. Which I did.

Side Note Book Recommendation: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

I could post the gifts I made since my last post...

But that's just really more of the same stuff that I've already posted on here...

It's pretty and I'm proud of it, but it's kind of boring.

I think I'm going to post something a little different. Something I was making nonstop a couple of months ago but the production has since tapered off a little bit...

Yup. Felt hand sewn celebrity figures. These are my Harry Potter gang and The Beatles.

I'm not sure where I got the idea to make these figurines, but they're super easy to make. People always asked me where I got the pattern for the bodies and clothes. The only answer is a simple one: My head.

I think I might get back into the swing of making these. Who to make next? The Queen? Obama? Amy Winehouse? (the idea of making the Wino is as daunting as it is exciting--imagine stitching in all those tattoos! And that hair!)

Hopefully, there will be new crafts by new week,
