Llama love is all around this season. Super trendy.
They are cute and fuzzy, but I stray away from anything bigger than a house cat. And also birds. Birds are the worst. The liquor store down the road from my house has about 5 llamas. They keep them outside in a field by the parking lot most of they year until it gets too cold. They also have a cat…. and a peacock.
I was thinking thru some ideas for my felt flowers and had a little help from a friend… 
Ok, lets be honest – she is really no help at all. I usually do little brooches but this time I wanted to see what the flower would look like in a hoop.
This is a little 3 inch hoop. I felt like there was too much space between the felt and the border of the hoop and had a crazy thought… add some beads!
I really like the way it turned out.
I was so excited to order this die set! This is the Stitched Bicycle Die from Papertrey Ink. I don’t know why I waited so long?
Of course, I started with a yellow bike. It’s my favorite color 😀
I’ve been recycling old jeans lately, putting the denim to good use on some sewing projects. This is finished hoop…
Trying out this whole sewing by hand stuff…
