CHRISTMAS!!!

I know that Halloween JUST ended, but I LOVE the Christmas season and started preparing!! I have needle felted a couple decorations for around your house. Like, the traditional Gingerbread Man...only this time it looks like someone got hold of him and took a tasty bite!

Also, I have needle felted mistletoe's which are just beautiful and elegant. Perfect for scoring those Christmas kisses.


Come to MY ETSY SHOP or MY ARTFIRE SHOP to see what's available!!

I know I have a few followers here at 'i heart arts', but I feel like keeping up with 2 blogs is a little much. So, I think I will stop posting here after the holidays. Please come to my other blog where there's much more then JUST crafts.

Baby Rattles (and a Little Reminder...)

So at the moment I have finished 3 adorable baby rattles! The dinosaur egg (in the posting below) and these 2 here!


They're available in my shop, OR...(here's the little reminder) if you're in Winnipeg over the weekend there will be an artisan and craft show in the Chief Pequis Pavillion at Kildonan Park (see map here) on Saturday, June 26th and Sunday June 27th, from 11:00 a.m 'til 7:30 p.m!
I will be there with all my felted goodies along with my photos! So come and spend the day in the park, it's a lovely place for a picnic! I have also made some felted soaps...which are basically soaps with a wool sweater for bathing with...I will post those on here when they are complete...right now they are drying and making my whole place smell yuuuuummmmyyyy!

Dinosaur Eggs For Babies!

I, Heather Bays, am 17 weeks pregnant! That's right, I am almost half way there and soon I will be able to find out the sex of the baby! I am so excited! Either way, my baby will love dinosaurs, just like I do! So, I think I will try to decorate the nursery with handmade/homemade dinosaur themed things! With baby one the mind, I started making baby rattles! My favourite ones are the dinosaur egg baby rattles. I only have one available in my store but I have more in the making that will be different colours!

This rattle was made by hand using soap felting and needle felting techniques. It is an eco-friendly toy made with natural and recycled materials. It is a non toxic rattle made with 100% wool and in the core is a recycled plastic container (such as an old pill bottle or the plastic container from a kinder surprise egg.) The container is holding popcorn kernels which makes the rattle noise when shaken.

Perfect for my baby, your baby and would also make a great gift for a baby shower!
