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.

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.

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!
Stay updated on more baby things (and other crafty homemade items) by popping by this blog often, or become a fan of mine on facebook, I always like getting more fans!

Mr and Mrs Potato Head Get Hitched!

I have made another adorable wedding cake topper as my last project before leaving for India for 2 months. Mr and Mrs Potato head are needle felted with 100% wool by Heather Bays. They are secured to a circular glass pillar that is light and measures almost 5 inches across.
