Handmade Easter

What could that be hiding in the grass?

Felted Easter baskets of course. I winged them, made from stash wool. Crocus colors, although I haven't seen a crocus since February.

The handles haven't stayed up since they dried, but no worries. Our kitty Lola getting in on the action.

And what do you see peeking out of the baskets?

Well, "Bunny Nuggets", of course. Pattern found on Ravelry, designed by Rebecca Danger.

They are just as cute from behind...

Have a wonderful Easter everyone!

For Mom's Birthday.....

I made my mom a pair of felted slippers from the Fiber Trends pattern called Felt Ballerina Slippers. I tried to make her a pair for Christmas, but when I felted them they were two very different shapes and sizes. I have tried this pattern three times and the slippers never turn out quit the same size, and when making a pair of something the same size is quite crucial. I put them in a pillow case, and washed them at high heat with low water, and a tad bit of detergent and tossed in a pair of jeans to increase agitation. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Although this pair still has slight differences they are the closest pair by far. Felting is such fun, but also a little nerve wracking, I am never quite sure what will come out in the end.
Happy Birthday Mom! Sorry we didn't win that trip to Hawaii ;) for our big Birthdays this year....let keep trying.
