The colors that came in the mail today...

Wowza!

A beautiful almost Fall day...

A great day to feel the warmth of the sun 

and the lovely Fall-ish feel of the air.

 Cool morning,

warm afternoon...

The fragrance of the garden in full scent.

Yum...

Then - to top that off

These fabulous colors of wool 

came in the mail today.

Sweet!

Fresh Fall color

Begging to become - 

A lovely fall fantasy hat...

Better put my hands to work.

What do you want to make with yours?

 

Felting fun...!

Yep! We're having some...
Lots of felting -
Lots of fun -
It all started with a post on Pinterest
Which I can't find, now... Geeze.
Want to give credit where credit is due - so, if you know the artist and picture I'm talking about - then let me know...I'll post it here.

Aren't the hats great!?
So are the people wearing them...

 This bunny made the hat herself...!
Yep...she did!

Earth Mother hat isn't complete - but...had to show it anyway.
Along with the banana split we had for lunch.

Fido made his hat - too!

More fun than a barrel of monkeys...
Speaking of monkeys - that may be the next hat.

One heart was fun - more might be more fun...

One heart - 

sweet - 

but I want more - 

cause I have more color ideas to try...

1.5 ounces

or 41 grams in each heart

Obsessive compulsive?

Maybe.

What next?

Well, well, well...a very deep subject.

Since the bowl worked so well - how about a heart...?

Once again - it was fun and easy - used a heart shaped resist about 8" x 5"
2.5 ounces or 71 grams of Corriedale wool roving

Oh, what to felt first...?

 How about a bowl...

This was so much fun and very easy - a bit time consuming but who is watching the clock when playing with soapy water and wool roving - not me!
I love the feel of this bowl - it sits so nicely in two hands - makes me smile and feel good.
The finished weight of the bowl is 2  1/10 ounce or 60 grams.
