Needle Felting at the At Home Store

Reni and I hosted a needle felting class this morning. It was so much fun! Here are some photos of our projects. We were working on headbands, barrettes, and broaches for Valentine's Day.




We will be hosting another beginner class, the basics of needle felting. (Date still to be announced.) At this class we will make needle felted Easter eggs. This was my first project, almost 4 years ago now! This will be a fun opportunity for young and old to learn how to needle felt!

Felt People Dolls

Over the weekend I remembered these cool felt people dolls I made for Ella when she was little. I know I have saved some, but cannot find them for the life of me! However, I was lucky enough to find the pattern. The ideas are endless! Henry wants "worker guys" and chainsaws...Ella wants purses and jewelry. I'm in the process of getting the PDF together. Look for the patterns and dolls later this week on my Etsy site, TheLittleBrownAcorn.

Girls


Henry and Ella


I have play board and storage designs for them too! I hope to post those soon!

Peace, love, and happiness! Cheers!

The Royal Heart Family

The Royal Heart Family made their first true appearance yesterday morning.

The Queen of Hearts


The King of Hearts


The Knave of Hearts


The Royal Couple



Ella has been giving me so much inspiration! The list is of wee folks we want to make is growing day by day.

Today I'm busying myself creating a finer portrait studio for all the wee folks who wish to have their images captured forever.

Since the last post I was lucky enough to find my heart punch. What a lucky day! The wonderful world of wee folks is being blessed with many hearts.

May the whole world be blessed with extra heart's love this season!

Wee Folk for Valentine's Day

The Wee Folk population is growing just in time for Valentine's Day! I love finding little wand twigs like Mrs. Green's. My new star punch arrived in the mail over the weekend! I lost it over a week ago and this has really put a damper on my wee folk inspriation! Watch out world! The star wand shop will be re-opening soon!!

Burlap Yardstick Holders

I had to take a timeout from making Wee Folks to whip up one of these yardstick holders.

I got this idea from my Aunt Joy. She made this one 30+ years ago.


Here are some close ups of the folks.



I've started another one with felt chickens. Then I want to make one with a barn and some animals. And then... and then.. and then... Cheers!

Beeswax

I melted some beeswax yesterday and made these heart shaped votive candles. Their burn time has been steadily exceeding 30 minutes. Which was surprising to me. I've not tested a regular votive candle's burn time. (Good science experiment to add to the list!) They are so sweet. They also float! Note: burn time not tested on floaters. You can get the beeswax at The Dutchman Store.
