Found for Home :: Felted-Wool-Roving

Picture Via {Grosgrain Fabulous}

I was inspired by a guest post over at say YES! to hoboken on felting wool roving into little felted balls for a garland. The look is so soft and luxurious, but modern at the same time. I heard mixed reviews of the Futte Futte shaker (a tool used to make the balls faster) and so I went the traditional route and I'm using a felting needle to do this project. It is therapeutic to use your hands to create something so soft and small, and it takes time. I am making a more spring-like color palette and planning to add this garland to my fireplace mantle. We'll see how it turns out! Meanwhile, the picture above was too cute and inspiring not to share!

Found for the Crafter :: Big-Knits-Knitting-and-Crochet-Needles-from-The-BagSmith

I am a huge fan of any hobby, craft, or pass-time that involves fabric, thread, needles and handiwork. I came across The BagSmith in my web-meanderings today and I am in love!!! How cool would it be to work with needles that large and create something like a throw for your sofa that was chunky and eclectic! Let's just say I know what I want for future holiday/celebrations where you receive presents. 

I was also overjoyed to find out that there is a local company called Heindselman's that has a location in St. George, Utah - near the city I live in and I can't believe my good fortune to have Heindselman's Too that I can get my yarn and tatting thread fix from whenever I need a pick-me-up.

What kind of crafting do you enjoy most?
