More Felt Ornamenting
November 30, 2012 No denying it. I am fully immursed in Christmas crafting. And our tree is hopefully going up this weekend.
Alicia's Ice-Skating Afternoon ornament set was her first collection in 2008 but I didn't discover Posie Gets Cozy until February 2010. When I first saw this set I went straight to her shop and I remember my heart sinking when I read they were SOLD OUT. To say I was bummed out is an understatement.
But when she re-released them as both a kit AND a PDF the following year ... and every year since! - my world went back to normal.
So. Here's the mug in progress. Not much ... just the pieces cut out. But I think I'm going to deviate from the embroidery floss colors - less red & olive, more pink & aqua.
Have a great weekend ... perhaps making some tags?

I am doing all I can to resist dropping everything to try these... they are just the cutest! Adding to my Make Someday List (for now).
I hope you are making two of each ornament.....or someday there is going to be a big struggle divvying up Mom's ornaments. Just sayin' Kristy
I know this is going to come as a shock to you, but I deviated from the pink felt for the cocoa mug and used.....wait for it.......................red! :)
Was wondering where you purchase your felted wool??? It looks like it is great quality. Thanks in advance for the info:)
ahh yes... I have had that sinking feeling happen to me last year and this year - I keep showing up to the party late... SO I hope to check in next fall and get a kit or two of hers! ;O) These look sooooo cool! Can't wait to see them finished! And we would love a peek at your tree!!!!!
Wonder if you'll change the green dress into a pink one. I would do it;-) Oh, and I'll definitly tag-a-long this weekend.
Have a wonderful weekend, Hildy
So, so pretty!! You have inspired me!! Sending you Christmas Joy this weekend! xo Heather
Another project to add to my ever growing crafts - to - make list! I am also hoping to start on some tags soon.
I love your work! My grandma made lots of pretty things with felt... Do you mind sharing where to purchase felt and fabric for your projects? Thanks!!
I love what you are making, I agree,make two sets! Is this something your girls could so along with you? I especially love that big mug! I am also getting supplies together for the tags, Love your blog!!
Just don't lose the marshmallow!
Wow,,thanx for sharing....LaLa Love your site and your work!! Lets see Tags,,,Felt ornaments....good thing I'm a night owl ;)
Just wondering what kind of felt you buy and where do you buy it? I'm just lovin' all of the things you can do with felt, but can only find the little paper sized pieces at Michael's and the felt by the metre at Fabricland. These felts are 100% polyester and don't really look that great, but the felt you use looks different... perhaps a better quality? Do you buy it by the metre or in paper sized pieces?
Thanks for answering my questions.
You really make amazing things - so delicate and pretty!! You live up to your namesake blog!!
Really sooo cute decorations! J.
I am loving seeing you make these adorable felt ornaments! I love making things from felt, especially embroidering on it!
