e Reader Cases

When I bought my Nook e Reader I decided to make my own case. I didn't want a cover that was like the "book covers" because I like to hold it without one, but I did want a case for it. Since I love to felt, I thought that would be the perfect "material" for it, since it is thick enough to protect it. Because felting is such a tricky thing to get right, meaning different yarn makes different sizes in each finished piece, it can be hard to get the size right when trying to make a very specific size. These are my first attempts at getting the case size just right. This one was a bit on the snug side. The red on the larger size, and the other two were more in between.

Small Owl Bags

Well, I had a very successful year at the Holiday Market. My felted items were still popular and my little owl bags were a big hit. I had made a few last year and they all sold, so this year I wanted to make a lot more. These ones were the last ones I made. They are big enough to hold your phone, and have a removable handle. On most of these ones I made the wings out of fabric instead of the felt. I liked having the contrast of pattern and texture. My favorite part of them is the eyes. Owls are known for their big eyes so I found a bunch of really great buttons that were perfect for these guys.
