These were a blast to make. Some are new wool felt, others recycled felted sweaters, with lots of odds-and-ends, found objects, and reclaimed pieces making each one unique!
I’ll have these available locally, at Apotheca. Next up – during today’s snowstorm, I hope to get some big hearts sewn and embroidered and then some mini heart pins created for my etsy shop.
I received a couple of guesses in my last post’s comments, and on Facebook… so here’s a preview of what the little cubes are becoming! Mini Love-Bots for Valentine’s Day. Each one will be unique – so far I have just the 8 blocks assembled.
I truly have such a hard time sitting still to work on these, but with some bad weather coming tomorrow, maybe I can get them completed. They’ll be available locally and maybe one or two will show up in my Etsy shop, also. (Let me know if you have a preference.) The ’bot above is made with a sweater that had been felted and repurposed into this cutie.
One of my other current projects is a bag that I’ve been crocheting. It still needs a handle, lining and assembly – but since it’s a summery colored yarn, there’s no rush:
I got the bag of yarn as a “1lb. remnant” - maybe when I’m done with this one I can make a second – it was certainly easy enough. I’ll check my yarn quantity by weighing it to see if I have 1/2lb. or more leftover when I’m finished. Anyone else out there weigh their yarn?
Thanks for your support and votes in the champagne cork challenge! I didn’t win, but I was happy with the results, and found another great blog to follow because of it.
I hope this is the beginning of a very creative week. What are you going to do?
I was surprised (but happy) to see a crochet robot in the first spot of “Giving 101” in this month’s issue of Elle magazine.
It was encouraging to me that handcrafted items were appreciated enough to be featured here.
