Felted iPhone Case
For my first wet felted bag I’ve made… I chose to do a sunflower decorated iPhone case for a friend’s birthday. With lots of needle felting after the wet felting… I like it.

Eden
With all the cow work going on, and, Dally being “out of the action” (or so I thought), I decided I’d let Eden tag along on some days. I worked her with Lucas, by herself, and then, at the end of the week, with Dally. She is not quite one, her birthday is in a…
