Batts and Yarns!!

My kids and I have been fiber-crafting like crazy this past week! We have been carding up beautiful, sparkle, fiber batts and gorgeous yarns. All are available in my Etsy shop.

Fuzzy Monsters!

While my oldest was at computer camp, and my daughter was at musical theater camp this past week, I got to spend some quality time with my little guy, Wilson, who's 4 years old. He saw some cute plush monster dolls on the cover of Craft Magazine and asked if he could make one. Well...together, we made one for him, then one for sister, then one for older brother! Wilson drew the patterns and helped with the sewing machine. He chose the fabric and decided how the eyes and mouths should look. What a fun project! We used leftover wool roving from spinning projects as the stuffing!! Due to requests, we are now making custom monsters to order on Etsy.
