Needle Felted Valentine Mimosa Make & Take

What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Crafting, friends and wine... Margaret Hluch taught us how to make a Needle Felted Postcard! She showed us how to do a photo transfer onto a felt background.
We got to choose from a variety of beautiful hand dyed fleece to needle felt with! It was hard to pick from them all! The process was easy so everyone caught on quickly.
To finish off our postcard we added stitching. Again, Margaret had so many gorgeous threads to use. Check out this stash... Here's Laura putting some finishing touches on her postcard with stitching...

Our results looked great! Here they are...

Patterned Metal Bracelet Wine & Cheese Craft Party

Two weeks in a row we held the very popular class, "Patterned Metal Charm Bracelet" taught by Chrissy Gemmill. In this class we learned jewelry making basics and got to personalize our very own bracelet!

We started out by learning the basics and how hard to hit the metal stamps...

The hardest part was figuring out what we wanted our bracelets to say...

Everyone was really happy with their finished results! Here are some of the finished bracelets and happy class takers...
