Well one does have other committments. Like our guild meeting yesterday, we learned to needle felt. It is so cool! I did pretty well and only pierced the thumb 2 times... ;)
They are supposed to be acorns...but I think they are a bit more strawberry looking. I'm sure you'll see more of needle felting around here.
After the guild meeting, I joined a friend at an open bead group.
Top one is daughter's, need to make it a bit smaller though. Mine is red of course, neat teardrop beads.
Beading is fun, I'm sure I'll make more someday, but I don't usually wear much jewelry other than earrings. It was good to just learn something new.
Right, now off to my lace....

Beware the lure of another craft! I have now have a bead stash (first hobby) a scrap booking stash, a yarn stash (duh) and a fabric stash. Maybe I should just send you my bead stash!!
Love the acorns - they are too cute!
I love the bracelets.
I wish I could say I liked the acorns...and I think they're well executed, but I kinda hate anything to do with squirrels now. You understand. ;-)
I always Thought needle felting would be fun but I've never tried it. I did beadwork in a former life. You can hide a large stash I'm a very small stash, but it can be really expensive.
Needel felting - great! Did't try it yet - but who knows!
And those acorns are pretending to be strawberries! Camouflaging!
You are a crafting whirlwind there! I like both the bracelets and the acorns. (I think acorns are a little browner than your red, but being a desert rat, I've never actually laid eyes on a real one, live and in person.)
Beading is fun! And soon you'll be really hooked, adding beading to your knitting.
Love the strawberry acorns:)
I'm just catching up so am going to comment on your last several posts here rather than on each one (because I'm lazy like that).
I LOVE the acorns; I think needle felting is really cool, though I've never done more than adorn a hat and mittens for Samm with squiggly lines of it.
Your Olympic projects are awesome, love the cute hat and the shawl is going to be beautiful!
I can't believe how much you have accomplished in such a short time; I've been working on the same damn sock all month and the same sweater since December!
Very cool!
