Mama's Got a Brand New Bag

So, what's new? Well, I am still working on getting our scarves finished from the Joy's Hope scarf along. I am really easily distracted by other things to work on. Things like this cute little buttercup bag, now available in my Etsy shop.   And I'm working on some more, in the large and small sizes.  
I have also been learning how to cook venison.  We have about 40 pounds of it in the freezer.  So far, it hasn't been too bad. 
I am still felting sweaters.  I haven't actually made anything with them yet.   But I went thrifting on Saturday and got a big pile of sweaters for 50% off.  So hopefully I'll have some felted stuff made soon.  Anyway that's what I'm working on lately.  I'll be posting a yummy recipe tomorrow, so stop back by for that.  See you soon.

Felting Wool?

Is there such a thing as CADD? Crafting Attention Deficit Disorder. If there is, I surely have it. As soon as I've made a few of something I am wandering off to do something new (to me). The latest thing I am going to try is wool felting. I have been reading and I've been to the thrift store and found some nice old wool sweaters to try it with. I like the idea of upcycling stuff and trying a new craft. I'm still not clear about the right terms. Is it felting or fulling? I don't know and I guess it doesn't really matter. So, I am going to try felting these old sweaters and making something really cool out of them. We'll see how that goes. If I make anything that is showable, I will post some pictures.

Before I go, I want to leave some links. This one has some nice projects for felted wool.
