Every now and then I get the urge to make things with felt. It is easy to use, economical, and versatile. I went to Hancock Fabrics the other day and spent five dollars on felt in various colors. I have a lot of ideas in my head for felt right now, so you will be seeing quite a few in the coming weeks.

For tomorrow, the finished project will be posted. I just used a blanket stitch to sew the flowers. Contrasting colors was the key to making this more fun. I think it kind of has a 70's feel to it.
The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe. It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun!

The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates. We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life. Ahhh...memories. In the time spent there somehow the button machine came into my possession. In honor of our gathering, of course I had to make pins. Here are also two murals that I painted at the restaurant. Let me tell you they were tricky! The murals are on glass and when
