The joy of felt

My most recent craft obsession has been anything using felt. Over the last couple of months I have made bushels of felt food for the kids, felt flower head bands and a felt tea set for my neice, an entire tree's worth of felt Christmas ornaments and a couple adorable Quiet books for my daughter and a friend. There is just something so satisfing about sitting down with a pile of felt, some thread and a needle and within a couple hours (or days) creating something unique and one of a kind.  I love making all these items even if it does take me weeks to finish a project.  All the hand stitching and free hand cutting that goes into these projects is very time consuming but in the end to be able to sit back and say "I made that" is a pretty cool feeling.

I have sold a lot of my past sewing and craft obsessions and would love to be able to do the same with these, but with the economy the way it is today I am just not sure that it would be able to support the time it takes for me to create these in vast amounts. Oh well, for now it's fun to do and the added benefit of an occassional custom order will just have to do for now. Well, that is until I find something else to obsess over I guess.
