Adventures in Felting

Ever since I finished my French Market Bag, I have wanted to make a felted purse. Despite buying a couple of books, I had a specific shape in mind, so I decided to just do my own thing. I finished everything except for one the straps at least a month ago. Then because of the move and my crazy life, I sat it aside. Last night I picked it back up and finished it.

I was home sick again today and when I started to feel better, I decided to go to my old house to check on the bug bombs. Since nothing felts in the front loading washer I have at the new house, I took the purse, some soap and pillow protector to my old house and felted it. I am drying and blocking it now.

When I got back, I was in a felting mood, so I started making some felted mice. I'll edit this to include photos later tonight.




This is the inspiration for the purse shape & size.

The bag felted very nicely. I can't wait to see the felted mice. And all of this when you're not feeling well...pretty impressive! :-)

After visiting your website for the past two years, why does this not surprise me? lol

I know I am an over-achiever. You run circles around me, kindred spirit.

Cute purse. Over-achieve and send me one. lol
