my newest obsession.

felt animals.

They are wonderful! Cute, and easy to make, its the perfect winter time craft hobby. I have just under a month before going back to school, so I have my evenings pretty much free, and Ive found myself being quite bored. Right now, Im on christmas vacation from the daycare as well, which leaves me with an inoradinate amound of spare time. So, with all this newly aquired time I've been practicing doing "housewifey" things; cleaning the house, doing laundry, having fresh baked brownies for when my boyfriend comes home... the usual I guess. In anycase, while browsing through the interweb, searching for crafts and whatnot to help me pass the time I searched for the word 'cute' and what did i find? None other than these adorable looking creatures, that yes, ANYONE can make for themselves. The possibilities are endless. Ive seen animals, real and fictional. Robots, monsters, penguins, ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE! Then I stumbled upon a book, something about felt underground revolution, blah blah blah..? whatever, I bought it. I ordered it online yesterday on barnes and noble.com (who, by the way are having a FANTASTIC SALE - go go go!) Its a kit that includes a book of how-to do it yourself felt craft projects. Anything from creatures to ipod cases, to purses you name it - and it comes with enough material to make the first three projects! However, this little guy up on top, is not one of these said projects. He is my own creation I have made from the anticipation of recieving my books in the mail. I really am too impatient to wait for things, so i resolved on cutting up some old t-shirts and creating this lovely little froggie. I present to you, Fred - the first of my many new creations.

So, the moral of the story folks, is -- go. create.
