Pom POm tree ornaments!

I saw these at the Waldorf Winter Festival and wanted to make some. I made about 18 ornaments with one big ball of yarn! ...Our tree is a little wacky and disorganized, but i like it!

4 Etsy sales in one week!

Sure....I'm not going to get rich or anything this way, but it feels good to have other people like your things so much that they click "add to cart"!! ...I shipped to Madison WI, Madison, AL, San Antonio, and somewhere in CA.

Also, here are a few pictures of more Waldorf projects: A doll from a Weir Dolls kit, and felt ball acorns! I swear I just love Waldorf for the crafts!

Vintage Button Hairclips!

I have collected and inherited SO many vintage and antique buttons over the years and lately I have been on a mission to use them. They are so beautiful...and now I have found a cute way to use them!! Hairclips! I also made a headband, but that product is still a work in progress... : )

Fishing!!

Another project from my Waldorf craft book... You stitch some felt fishes with a metal loop sewed to the mouth. Then you make a fishing pole with a magnet at the end of the string and your little one can fish for them!! Lucy has been having fun with it!

Another Felt Board!

I cut out some paper shapes too!

I'm so tired and really should go to bed... I was just on Etsy putzing around... but before I go to bed I have to post the little felt board I made today! I covered a little 4"x4"canvas with felt and went to Family Connections (which I have been meaning to do for a while) and cut out a bunch of fun shapes with their free-to-use Die-Cutters!

Dream Pockets...or something like that!

I made a little kit for myself...

I wrote down my current thoughts/worries/dreams... and stitched them up in the cozy little pocket!

then decorated it!

on both sides...

I had this idea...inspired by God Boxes (something my sister has told me about where you write down your worries or prayers onto paper and then put them into a special box...to send them to God or into the universe) and also, by an exhibit I saw at UW Madison years and years ago where young students were asked to sew meaningful things into little pouches. So...I am going to make little kits to sell on Etsy that include everything you need to write down prayers, thoughts, dreams, wishes...and then sew them into a little pocket that you then applique and decorate. Then you have a beautiful object to pray with or meditate with or just to use a reminder each time you see it of whatever you wrote inside...

a little wooly owl...

from the same Waldorf handmade baby toys book... Lucy says this little birdie is sick! and he needs medicine! I'll tell her i think he might feel better...but no, she says his tummy hurts...
