Woohoo! My order of wool felt finally arrived! Now, I can make all the felt projects I have been dreaming of. Some are new, and others, I have had planned to make for a very long time.
Elizabeth, over at Creative Breathing has the most adorable characters! She not only shares her patterns, but has a very fun way of telling stories. She has so many wonderful projects, I’m not sure which I’ll start with:
Holly, over at Cotton Pickin’ Fun has the cutest characters too! This has got to be the cutest George Washington I have ever seen. Holly is also very generous and shares her patterns – I think if I start him now, I may have him done by the 4th of July 🙂
Here is a book that I have owned for quite some time, Felt Wee Folk by Sally Mavor. I had the best intentions to make some fairies. I even bought acorn caps for hats on-line from the East Coast! Now, I ‘m going to break out the supplies and finally make them.
And finally, some really sweet felt dolls from Noialand. I will make at least one of these girls:
These are but a few of the projects I have in mind. My shelves are full of books with lots of ideas…
I think I might have to try one of the patterns from Noia land, those are adorable.

I’m looking forward to seeing what you make. Yeah for the inspiration we have by such talented artists
I accidentally discovered how to felt wool, by washing a wool garment in hot water, and drying it in a hot dryer, lol. Way cheaper than buying it ready made, too!
