Hooray for Crafts!  email this discussion to a friend?

One of the most enjoyable things I do in my spare time is design templates and craft appliques using 100% wool felt. My "Jungle Animals" template set will be released 01-01-07 from my blog and includes a pattern/template to make a lion, monkey, elephant, alligator, and exotic bird. I've included a picture of my personal favorite, the elephant.

I also am working on an on-going template project called "Penny & Paul" which would be wonderful for paper dolls, felt dolls, and appliques. I will design a new outfit for Penny & Paul each month, and you bet they will be very busy little people. The first template set will be released 01-01-07 from my blog.

Although we are not supposed to list links at the end of our posts, I would love for you to view my profile and follow the link to my website.

I would also love to know if anyone else crafts with wool. What kind of wool do you use? Where do you purchase yours? Do you felt and color it yourself? Do you sell your crafts, or do you craft simply for the pleasure of it?

You can find inspiration from other people on the internet! All you have to do is look. There are TONS of talented people out there who have been crafting for years. I would visit blogs of crafts you are interested in. Lots of people give step-by-step instructions on how they make their crafts and are always willing to answer questions.

I like to make appliques, but I usally only do it for my own personal sewing. Something that will match whatever I am making.

Ive done some basket weaving with rolled newspapers, but its been 2 years since Ive messed with crafts at all. And it wasdone mainly for fun, never for profit.

Have a nice day
