Weekend Project

Weekends are precious. And I take them seriously.
I’ve mostly become a lazy weekender because I work sooo much during the week and all I want is to pick up my house and keep my pjs on all day. But this weekend I am inspired to do a little project. I’m in love with these felted wool garlands and it turns out they’re pretty easy to make.
I’m going to craft one for my Mother In Law (shhh don’t tell. And don’t worry, she doesn’t read the blog) who I want to give something amazing, but has everything she needs and I can’t afford what she wants. So a gift from the heart and hands should do right? Hope so.
I found the how-to from the Purl Bee, a great resource for knitters, crafters and Not-Marthas like myself. I really like the colored felt ones but I’ll start with natural and embellish like they did. Plus, I didn’t have time to order from Decadent Fibers, which has gorgeous custom-dyed rolls but my next go-round (assuming this goes well) I’m definitely going to get a ‘jelly roll’ – look ‘em up.
So I will report back on my project and if you have some crafty spare time this weekend give it a shot and let me know how it goes. Hooray for weekends!
