Cute & easy flowers

.

This could fall under both "Tutorial Tuesday" & "What I've Been Working on Wednesday", but since it's already Thursday, this might be best without a category ;).

I found this tutorial on a blog I stumbled across, Drab To Fab. The original tutorial uses fabric and hot glue, but I used lightly felted cashmere and felted wool, and hand stitched it in place as I went. The first one I made was this cashmere brooch for my mom:


I then made this wool one into a hair clip. I liked this one better without anything in the center. These were really easy and fast to make.



Here are the cloth ones from Drab To Fab's blog:


Cute, eh?

Mmwolters, flower pins & purses

I decided to look on Ebay to see if there were any crafters/artisans that sold their recycled wool goodies there, and found mmwolters. Not only does she sell on Ebay, but she has an Etsy shop under the same name as well. She sells cute purses, beautiful flower brooches, and pretty pincushions. Those cheerful flowers remind me of spring, so I was happy to find them :) I was unable to copy any pictures of the lovely things she has on Ebay, so you will have to visit there to see them all.
