citrus coasters

I saw these cute felt citrus coasters a while back on a crafty blog somewhere and I knew I had to try to make them.  They are completely cut and sewn by hand, so they are a bit time consuming, but they look beyond adorable when finished.  I gifted this set to a friend has a house warming present.  Now I've got to make a set for myself!  Perfect for a chilled glass of white on a hot summer day!

felt barettes

I've been whipping up several of these super cute hair barettes in different styles made from felt the last few days.  So easy to do, and I like the fact that they are all hand sewn - I don't have to be sitting at my machine to make them.  I'm also waiting on a stash of alligator clips in the mail (dang Canada Post and the strike back-log) to make some grosgrain ribbon clippies.  Gosh I'm glad Lexi finally grew some hair to do something with!
