This little sweetheart is crocheted and machine felted in a lovely blue with "fun fur" multi at the top. The flap has a magnetic closure and sea glass embellisment. It's lined with a cotton exploding with cardinals, chickadees and bluebirds...very springlike. I love the process of starting with a ball of yarn and crochet hook or needles...seeing what shape emerges and then from there, throwing it in the washing machine to see what comes out! The color and shape dictate to me the lining, embellisments and handles...every bag is unique and fun and flirty. Any felters out there, share your secrets and thoughts!

Snowstorm in Maine
Another day without power. It certainly makes one appreciate the everyday conveniences we are accustomed to. Thank Goodness for generators!
During one absence of power, but lovely sunshine, I lined a felted bag that a girlfriend and I made as a custom order for a friend. It is so sweet! We have several other bags under construction using vintage dresses that her mom wore over 40 years ago. What a great way to recycle and reuse a treasure - creating an heirloom to use with love.
We also finished a gorgeous purple felted bag that sold today!
