Fantastic Felt!

Since I made the children the Bucilla stockings last Christmas - I've really enjoyed browsing for other felt crafts - mainly to sell on etsy. This week I made a Santa, also Bucilla. Here he is below - not very cost effective as took forever to make and can't really sell him for much!

So now I've been hitting google on an hourly basis whenever I think of a key word! Of course I started with Christmas  searchings, as I love anything to do with it! But now I'm thinking start now - the beginnings of Autumn are upon us and Halloween is just 7 weeks away! I needed some simple designs to look to and tweak as my own. These are my favorites so far:

And back to Christmas - I'm loving these simple but stunning ornaments:

I'm also working on some new baby hats to sell.. I think it's too soon to start gearing them to be elf-inspired so a few in lovely pastel colors to start - then the red and white stripes come later!

well then...

I passed my driving test! So happy. Finally I feel independent after 

9 years in America relying on others wooop!

good news..

So the tests were all clear - so that's a hurdle jumped - a few more to go! Children start back at school tomorrow so I'm in full on organizing mode - mixed of course with full on 5 1/2 months pregnant so I'm tired mode ugh. Have my road test in the morning too, and although I'm definitely trying to be more breezy about passing or in my case - failing! - it's still nerve wracking to know I may have to start the whole process again. Anyway - not a long post as I have mountains still to do before I can officially relax for an early night. Oh I did buy an owl candle holder and some glitter paint and had the children collect acorns on Saturday - so the hint of Autumn is just around the corner - and I'm loving that thought!
