But wait, there's happiness today, too! The thrift store was very good to me today. I got some picture frames for a project that I will show you when it's done (now I'm really motivated!), some more yarn for Christmas knitting, some vintage ornaments (which didn't photograph well in the non-light, so I won't show them today) and a basket to put them in on my mantle, and these:
I did some needle felting today, as well. This is my first attempt, and I think I'm in love. It's soooo fun! And easy! I can't think why I didn't try it before.
And, the best for last... this came in the mail today. Isn't it gorgeous?

Those colours! And the name! Can you see it? I know the flash kind of faded it out... it's called Corvid. How perfect is that??? Too bad I have to wait til after Christmas to knit it.
Did you make the felt yourself? I have some wool sweaters that are too worn to wear (!) but I'm not interested in felting them myself. I'm looking for a good home where they will get used.
ReplyDeleteAre those pears glittery at all? I think I might be tempted to glitter them if not, rather than paint them white. But that's just me ;- )
