FELT EGG

I am making some felt foods for my great-niece for Christmas and found a pattern for felt eggs at the following site. http://melissagoodsell.typepad.com/day_to_day/tutorial---felt-food-eggssliced-orange/

Items used:

• 1 piece White felt
• 1 piece Yellow felt
• Thread, yellow and white
• Scissors
  

From the pattern cut out two pieces of white felt for the egg whites and 1 piece of felt for the yolk. You can get several "eggs" from 1 piece for felt.

I had stitched the "yolk" to the top of the egg, then hand stitched with a blanket stitch the two pieces of the egg together.

I am linking this to Helping Little Hands Felt Food Cook Along. I just came across this site and plan on joining in the the fun!

BLOOMING TOTE BAG

For Earth Day Walgreens gave out tote bags with a purchase I got the tote bag below. It was a little too plain for my tastes so I decided to turn it into a blooming tote bag covered with flowers. This is what it looked like before: Some of the flowers I have made with links to tutorials at the following: http://craftsandcreationswithkathy.blogspot.com/2009/05/fabric-flowers.html http://craftsandcreationswithkathy.blogspot.com/2009/05/felty-flower.html http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/sunflower_facinator Others are misc. creations and a few of the flowers and the leaves were left over from my "Spring In A Jar" project. Some of the felt flowers were made using 9001 glue, others were hand-stitched. All of the flowers were attached to the bag with a hot glue gun. Items used:

• Tote bag
• Fabric or felt (to make the flowers)
• Artificial flowers
• 9001 glue
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Needle
• Thread
• Scissors
