tiny fairy mushroom ornaments...

such a lovely holiday weekend for making mushroom ornaments! this is a new design I have been working on with needle felted wool wired stems and silk velvet mushroom caps. The hand dyed velvet has such a beautiful color variation that shows off so well on the mushroom caps.

I love these new shapes and how the stems can bend.  The gills are made with one of my hand dyed crepe paper ruffles.  here is a close up to see the paper folding and stitching~

there are even a couple with glitter spots.  happy holiday week !

I have been collecting these fancy glass ornaments all year and today I started boxing them for the shop.  favorites~ glittered gold acorn ornament and the lovely gold and silver polka dot...

I can't resist the aqua and silver collection in the top row, love those lozenge shaped beads!  I will have all these ornaments in the shop by this evening...

little chick says Spring!

 I have been having so much fun making some tiny springtime needle felted critters.  This tiny pale blue chick stands only 3 inches tall and has a tiny silk velvet tummy, my favorite!

this is a work in progress, I am working on a little crown for king bunny as it is his bithday!

this sweet bunny is holding a wee heart for you with a vintage sew on rhinestone in the middle from an old party dress.  I added little stitches and velvet tummy and ears.  Oh so soft.
{Sold and on its way to a new home with Lindsey, thank you!}

I spent the day yesterday making tiny chicks, should have them in the shop next week.  have a lovely spring weekend.  its going to be warm enough outside today to go biking and order my new greenhouse!

needle felted hearts in the shop....

needle felted hearts in the shop today, just in time for Valentines day.
each one is an original made with vintage millinery flowers and trims.  tiny pearl beads salvaged from an old necklace dangle at the bottom and sweet pearl heart pins secure tulle and silk ribbons for hanging.

this one has a gathered vintage crepe paper ruffle spray behind the velvet flower.

the straw stems of this multi colored posy is so fun.  and I adore the sweet curled stem on this little heart.  Each Valentine heart is handmade and one of a kind and will be packaged in a little box for gift giving or keeping.  vintage valentine hearts measures approx. 2-1/2 inches tall and 2-1/4 inches wide.  sweet dreams....

little chicks...

I have had such fun this week needle felting these tiny chicks. The little curly top baby just makes me laugh and dads top hat is looking dapper for sure.   I'm thinking I might take off the tinsel and add a bow tie instead...
