So, I got a little behind. 😉 I ended up scrambling to put together a booth for a local craft show. It was a whirlwind couple of days and everything else got neglected.

Unbeknownst to me, today (November 9) is Go To An Art Museum Day. Today’s prompt was the April 15 holiday of World Art Day.

Find a rainbow. I could have gone in a number of directions for today’s prompt, but ultimately I decided that a rainbow signifies love, peace, and happiness.

Day 5 is a celebration of pizza with a felted slice. I’m pretty sure that pizza is the most controversial food… Does pineapple belong on pizza? White sauce? Stuffed crust? And don’t even get me started on Calzones. Even with its ability to tear families apart, I would bet it’s one of the most loved … Continue reading Day 5: An Ornament a Day
Today’s ornament is inspired by the February 4 holiday, Thank Your Mail Carrier Day. I decided to make a 3d printed mailbox with needle felted letters.

Today’s prompt is the January 19th “holiday” National Popcorn Day. Of course, I had to make a bucket of popcorn, but I wanted to exaggerate the size. I toyed around with the idea of putting faces on the actual popcorn pieces, but I decided that it would be cuter with just one face on the … Continue reading Day 3: An Ornament a Day
This one just makes me grin from ear to ear! The prompt is Dress Up Your Pet Day. I was brainstorming with my kids. One of my boys suggested to make a chihuahua with a top hat.
