Next is a very quick but very dimly lit craft project that I wanted to share ( night photos really suck). I ran into these heavy little paper-weights at my local dollar store and scooped up a few to do a craft with the small children's crafting class I teach once a month but could not help but make a up a few in advance, all in the name of science you know! In the end these two weights went to two wonderful ladies who came to help me work on a big event at church. I used a rather damaged copy of an old Richard Scarry ( pre-Busy Town) book. Most of the pages have severe wanted damage or markings so I don't feel bad about giving what is left of it a new life.
The glass orbs slightly magnify the images and the way the light plays on the shape is quite fun. Nothing earth shaking really but a nice quick gift that was fun to make.
In other news.. I got the most AMAZING box of wool/rayon felt from Wool-felt Central. My hands shook as I opened it since I knew that the colors were just going to knock me over and they did! Between the colors and the cute color names ( how could anybody not love a green with a color name having to do with pickles?) it was like Spring in a box. In the next week I will have the first wool work pattern ready to go as a free PDF download to accompany an article I have written on the subject for THE LINK . In addition Wool-felt central will have a color kit package ready so you can order the felt you need for the project.
To celebrate my first project with Wool-felt Central I will be having a give away of one of the kits with everything you need to make it. I will also be sending a made up project to Indiependence's monthly give away so you will have two.. yes two chances to win some very cool stuff.

love the prints!
they look awesome in your kitchen.
Those prints look great, especially against that wallpaper (which I love, btw). Thanks for the felt link, I'm gonna check them out.
I really love the prints and how they look kind of like a "transom" hung close to the ceiling...so pretty!
