Wool Beads

What can you do with felt?  You can make beads out of it! 

I bought some beads to see how they should look- I plan on making some with my yarn soon...

And, as I sat staring at the bag I thought, "Yeah, they're cute- but what are you going to do with them?"

This is what I came up with:

In my sew ecological shop, I made two necklaces- called "Wool Love" and "Orange Julius" respectively...

Then- my real lightbulbs went off, and I stitched some balls onto bobbies for the rotifera shop:

So there you have it!  Things that can be done with felt balls!

Happy Friday!

Editing photos with Picnik

I recently discovered Picnik, a free photoediting software.  It really is amazing, simple, and free.  You don't have to download anything (i.e. no virus worries), and it has turned some of my *shrug* meh photos, into these:

I don't really understand all of the options, but I took most of my photos, which were too far away and included background images like the neighbor's house across the street.  Some were overexposed, underexposed, colors showed up poorly, etc.

So I went to Picnik, uploaded my photo, hit the autocorrect option on the exposure, and cropped the photos to just showcase what I had made.  I really like the outcomes- like these:

A few more recent offerings from my shop!

Go edit!  Make your pictures Gorgeous!
