We are one sick household. And between the coughing and the freezing temperatures, we haven't wanted to venture outside lately. While it has been quite tiresome being holed up in the house this past week, we have been busy occupying ourselves with little projects. I am grateful for this new magazine called Living Crafts. Full of great handwork projects for kids and parents. And they offer some fun free patterns on line as well. We were looking for some felt craft Peanut could busy himself with and we started with the felted ornaments.
Basically it involves wet felting inside a cookie cutter. Peanut had the good patience to make four of them and they turned out beautifully.
Later we made more felt in a baggie like we did earlier this year. Tutorial here. I'm thrilled to see that some others have tried the tutorial with beautiful results. See here and here.
And I stitched them into brooches to give to Peanuts teachers as Christmas gifts.
Hopefully, I'll get a chance to post more projects we've been working on, but I've got one sick little boy on my hands who needs lots of loving right now. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
