HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well it's about damn time I contribute something. SHEESH! For the past 6 months my creative outlet has been hair, hair and more flippin hair. I'm not complaining, I love it, it's just that I haven't had much energy for other creative outlets.

However, last month we had 3 GREAT craft sales in a row and I tried out a few different ideas. I took a crack at sewing and after a few tries, I managed to make a garter! I struggled with the elastic (essssssssh!) as the first 2 garters turned out to be suuuper cute dog collars for Basil (not enough stretch..ooops!) Ahhh well. Here's a photo of the only finished garter, I ran out of steam to make anymore haha. I wish I had enough time to make a few more, but time was not on my side.



the garter rejects/ adorable dog collars haha






MORE LITTLE CRAFTS! These are the left overs from the craft sales last month! Most of the stuff was made while at the craft sales. I love the little whales! hehe!

Custom Made Cake Toppers.

People have contacted me on numerous occasions to make them a cake topper so their wedding cakes, birthday cakes or anniversary cakes are more personalized. They make beautiful display art too so you can keep them forever! The photo below has some examples of ones that I have done. They are needle felted all by hand with 100% wool.

Needle felting is when you take loose roving wool and stab it repetitively hundreds if not thousands of time with a barbed needle so it gets denser and denser to sculpt it. You can literally make ANYTHING with wool.

Green Owls In Love.

These vintage style green owls are needle felted by Heather Bays with 100% wool. I was inspired to make these because I have a thing for salt and pepper shakers and a friend of mine bought be a set of green owls that are obviously in love, so I recreated them with wool. ADORABLE!

Perfect for the top of a wedding cake or anniversary cake or a birthday cake for a couple and you can keep it forever and put on display at your home because they're so cute. Infact, you don't necessarily have to use them for a cake topper at all! Great for a Christmas ornament, pin cushions, display art, or to add to a project of your very own!

They are available in my Etsy shop,

Bows & Bow Ties

These bows needle felted by Heather Bays. They have 2 inch french clips on the back. You can wear them at any age, they really complete any outfit! Perfect for a casual day or something as big as a wedding day!

I can also put a pin on the back instead of a french clip (just like the black and white bow below) so you can pin it on a shirt as a bow tie, or pin it on a bag, or nylon headband. If you want a keychain, I can add that instead of the pin or clip, the options are endless!
