This is my felted bag.

The back with the crazy pink pocket, and embroidery.

The front.
It almost gets lost in the foliage.
My Label.
Here you see my first vest. I used a batt and some locks, which started off a cream color.

Then I decided to dye the piece dark brown.

Well the day before I dyed a skirt dark green and when I was reading the directions it said you should use two dark colors to enrich the color you want.


So I put the vest into the dark green dye bath overnight.


The next day I pulled out the vest and fell in love with this color.

So this is where we are for right now.

What do you think?

Birdhouse Condo for rent or sale

This is my first attempt at making a felted vessel. I had alot of fun and didn't realize how strong felt can really become.

The embroidery was nice to do as I watched TV at night, I just don't know how long it will last in the elements.

The fun part will be taking pictures through the seasons and seeing just how it will hold up.

I wonder if a bird will actually nest in it. How exciting that would be!

I think I will have to make another one to keep this one company.

My brother said he could see alot of these hanging at my grandparents house with a for sale sign on them. He probably knew that I would catch the bug and make a few more.



A closer look and you can see the foot prints on the deck.
