Fairy Crafty

Read about my crafts, second-hand store finds and things that I turn from treelawn trash into treasure by reinventing things and making them new for us to enjoy!...I have Fifth Avenue taste, but a very thrifty budget.

New Projects!

OK...well, here is a pic of my first knitting project...a felted purse! I'm so excited to be able to learn how to do this!!This is just the first stage. I knit on round knitting needles - (called knitting on the round) using two strands of wool. When I've completed the knitting of the body and bottom, then "sew" things together and wash it. That's when it gets felted!! I'll show you a picture of the finished product!

I've printed out numerous other things that I would like to knit and knit/felt...just need to have the money to buy the yarn---and TIME to be able to make them!!

I've also made a prototype of a tea bag/coffee bag holder. You could also put creamer and sugar packs in it so you'd have everything with you! I received one a a gift...but changed it a bit. It can be made with any materail color combo and closure. I don't have one on here, but it could have a tie or button closure, etc...
I have some material that D1 picked out. Now that I've done the prototype to see how it will be -- I'm going to start on these asap!
That's it for now...time to take D3 to school!!
