I love this time of year because it means the making of items which include delicious coloured felt, buttons, beads & baubles, oh my...
I am in the middle of a few projects but I get so blissed out making my felt stars every year. (you can see some of last years batch here) They are one thing that I don't care if they don't sell...if they don't sell I happily hang them around our house/studio.
Here is my first batch...I made 25 so far (my sore & numb fingertips are being ignored!)...
Every single star was designed & hand-stitched by moi and I made no 2 alike, every single one is unique...I sell them as xmas ornaments but I have mine hanging up all year round, they really add abit of charm and whimsy to any room....
They might make it to the shop, but I must hang onto them for now to fill up my table at an upcoming xmas art and craft sale & possibly for the Art On Main xmas tree, though I have another little project in the works for that bit.
(Please excuse the darker photos, it's been raining here constantly and I just didn't want to wait for some sunlight to shoot the photos).
I've designed abunch of paper dolls, a new felt doll design to use some of my fantastic antique laces on, AND I am finally getting to my sewing machine for some more Lagomorph Lovelies....
See you tomorrow for the winner of my October Giveaway.
Thanks oodles for hopping in.
p.s. I just discovered the music of "Camille", I've no ideal what she's saying but I love love love her sound & style...I am blasting her in the studio today, espeacially this song:D

Oh Mandy! I just love your stars! I am so ready to break out my sewing machine. I don't know what it is, but I love to snow in the winter. There's just something about that little hum. =)
lots of hugs,

Oh, those are extra fancy indeed!! :-)
Mandy these are SO wonderful! They look like they take a super long time- very detailed and sweet. I LOVE the picture of you at the top. You're so cute. I hope you head pain has been better...

Ohh... these are fantastic! I love how each one has it's own special look! :)
Oh thanks Stephanie, Lucy, Chicken, Lori, Paula and Jennifer...I wasn't sure anyone would bother commenting on this post...I am so glad to see people love them as much as I love making them...I admit, I would like to keep each and every single one for myself, ha ha.

I love the star you made me! It is a treasure and hangs in my studio. I think of you every time I look at it!
