Warning: Seriously Cute Craft Supplies



Recently I helped out a fellow quilter who was desperately seeking some fabric to finish off a project, and made a new friend in the process! Not only did Tracey write the sweetest thank you  - she also sent me a package of the most gorgeous felt embellishments and brooch kit that I have ever seen! Tracey is such an accomplished quilter and designer - lots of eye candy on her blog

Thank you Tracey - you have wonderful taste in craft supplies and I look forward to incorporating them into a few projects soon!

Tracey has advised that the felt goodies are available from Fix Design in New Zealand who have an etsy shop and an online store.  I have some ideas for the felt, but first I want to admire them some more!

The latest issue of Marie Claire Idees arrived in my letterbox this week and it is a wonderful issue full of lots of decorating and craft ideas for Christmas. Here are some of my favourite projects -

I can't wait to get crafting on some Christmas projects - it is my favourite time of the year!!

Oh, those little birds. They are so sweet! Can you believe I never ever worked with felt before? (Well, besides from when I was very little in school). Maybe I should look into it, people make such adorable items with it~!

I love the broach kit! Who knew you could find something already cut in a store that actually was cute!? Thanks for the great Christmas ideas. I love the candycane wreaths. I might have to give it a try with my kidos!! Or maybe for them! I think that would be even better!

Dogwood said...

Tooo cute. I love those precious goodies. The colors are yummy. Sweet shapes. Fun!

Isn't Christmas just so much fun!

Those little felt things are neat.
You will be very busy with all those crafts. I really like them too.

Noelia said...

WOw really cute !! You know its hard to get felt over here, instead of it we get something similar called "Pañolenci" but you can cut it so good, or make a lot of details over ur design, specially tiny ones.

I cant wait to start doing xmass stuff!!!

Katherine said...

Oh, what treats! Now I can hardly wait to see what you will make with these lovelies...

Lenna Green of Stitching Cow said...

Gosh I love those little felt flowers, my mind is a whirl with possibilities as I am sure yours is too. Happy creating.

Tracy said...

Be still my heart... so many sweets here... Those felt cuts are sooo pretty--endless possibilities...*sigh*... I can't wait to see the lastes MCI!! Happy Days :o) ((HUGS))
