Day 15: An Ornament a Day
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. Today’s ornament comes from the super fun holiday of Paper Airplane Day. My kids all love to fold paper airplanes, but especially…

Day 9: An Ornament a Day
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. I thought about famous art pieces and my mind immediately went to Starry Night by Van Gogh. I was going to make a felted Starry Night ornament, but I decided instead…

Day 8: An Ornament a 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. I thought that a heart shape represents those ideas well. Yesterday, I heard of the tragic death of a ten-year-old black girl who was bullied. It absolutely breaks…

Day 7: An Ornament a Day | And Week 1 Recap
I actually made this one live on Instagram.

Day 5: An Ornament a Day
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…

Day 4: 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. I added the house number of “24” because of the date of the “holiday.” Tomorrow is Day 5: National Pizza Day

Day 3: An Ornament a Day
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…

Day 2: 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. One of the girls suggested a kitty dressed up as a lion. I wanted to do something a…
