This was my first attempt at making cups out of felt. It is not as sturdy as the cups I made for my niece(pics in my photostream).I put poly beads in this along with batting; my kids seemed to think that it was fun to throw around like a beanbag :o(
I made this set for my nieces 7th birthday(May 2008).The coffee percolator and cups have a coffee scent and the cookies really smell like cookies.
They smell soooo good! M-M-M

This pic is a close up of a paper quilling order that I completed Oct 12,2008.A friend ordered this for her 2 month old niece for Christmas. See my photostream to view this completed order which took me aprox 20 hours to finish.
I made this felt snail for Jaden last night(8/5/09). He picked what he wanted me to make him and we researched Gary's colors on the internet but I still took an "artistic license" when I made him.I was going to make Gary with only 2 sides(like a pillow) but then at the last minute added a gusset on the bottom so he can sit up.I had fun making him since he's so colorful and has that silly grin on his face. "MEOW!"
This 11X14 paper quilling was made for a 9 year old girl. She was present when her mom ordered it so she was able to tell me herself about her interests and what colors she liked. Where else would you find a dolphin in between nail polish and a handheld mirror? This was "Elisha" themed.I liked that she knew what she wanted:O).
I made this for my daughter Sunee(pronounced Sunny) while I was pregnant with her. It's a kind of "girlie/Parisian theme.I completed this March 2005.See my photostream to see the other ones that I've made.
As promised, I said I'd complete a paper quilling collage before Christmas and so I did! My kids and I love Domo so what better to make than this big monster (my husband says he looks like a brownie).Since glass glare is a total annoyance, this pic was taken unframed.See my photostream to see the rest of the collage:o) Also see my profile if you really like this-click on the link...Thanks for looking:o)

"There's no place like home" paper quilling. This is in a 8X10 shadowbox frame and was sold at a craft show. The lady that bought this said that her friend decorated her baby's nursery in the Wizard of Oz theme and she would give it to her as a baby shower gift. This was the hardest one I'd made(at that point); it had lots of tiny details that just about drove me crazy(especially the 30 or more curls on the lion). I was so happy ,though, with how this came out.
These koi's are in 2 5X7 frames.I made them and gave them as gifts to my husbands family in Thailand the summer of 2007. Surprisingly they were pretty simple to make.
****2009 Update:I made a larger version that's for sale on etsy,see my profile for a link
Completed Oct 12,2008. This was ordered by a friend for her 2 month old niece. Since her room theme/color will change when she is older I used a rainbow of colors that should compliment almost any girls room .It is in an 10X13(aprox.)shadowbox frame with an 8X10 matte.Their are other close up pics in my photostream .This took me aprox 20 hours to complete.
This is 4 of 6 felt critters that I've made in the past 6 weeks. L-R Butterscotch the puppy,Myrtle the turtle,Siam Sam, and Nea the Boston Terrier.They each have an accessory that fits in their back pocket.
