Make It // felt donut

We are making donuts today! The only donuts I know how to create,

felt ones. This DIY is easy and fun. 

Let's get started!

You will need:
scissors
needle and thread
felt 
beads or embroidery floss
stuffing
5" circular pattern with 1" center

1. Cut out 2 pieces of donut (tan) felt and one piece of frosting
(brown) felt.

2. fold the brown felt in half and cut to create the frosting. 

3. Now it's time to hand sew the frosting felt onto one of the donut 
felt. First sew in the center circle, then sew the edge of frosting.

4. Now it's time to add sprinkles! If you are giving this to your pet
or small child I suggest using embroidery floss instead of beads.

5. Get your other piece of tan felt and sew together in the center circle.
After that sew the outside together. Leave about 4 inches open for 
stuffing.

6. Add stuffing to donut

7. Once donut is nice and full, sew it up! 

And we're done! 
You can use your felt donut as a pincushion, decor in your kitchen, 
pet toy, kid's play food, etc. 


Happy Making! 

keeping it real

Hi friends!! I've missed you!
I know it's only been 3 days but if I don't blog every other day I feel lost!

These past couple of days have been busy. Not only am I preparing for Funky Finds Spring Fling show in Texas but Riley and I have also been occupied with our thoughts on the future and careers. I don't want to get any more specific than that because I hate to say things and then they don't unfold the way I want. So, I'll keep my mouth closed and hope that later this year I can share with you.

Remember the body form I had that ripped in half during our move?

Well, Riley's Grandpa fixed her for me!!! She's now back in my possession and better than ever! Yay! Go grandpa!


Also the other day I've been working on a new product.
You know how bright it is when there's snow on the ground and the sun is shining? Well, working with white paper in the sunlight does the same thing (of course).
I was making a pattern and it was so unbearable that I had to be a loser and wear my sunglasses inside!

And here's an idea on what I'm working on...but think BIGGER

this is what happens when I'm home alone, I take ridiculous pictures of myself and share with you.

Also this week I got a bag of ribbon & beads from a friend!!


Super pumped about that!!

On today's agenda I'm finishing up the felt donuts


and going to Tulsa tonight for Riley's show at Soundpony!


Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!

I like Thursdays

Happy Thursday!

Guess what, I'm still working on Exhibit One Gallery's items! Ah! I'm terrible. I'm putting along. The slowness may have to do with making all the things for Dwelling Spaces (so I'm burnt out on making multiples) and then the transition to my new accessories shop. BUT yesterday I was on fire!
I finished up the felt donuts!



then I completed all the owl keychains!


and owl pins!



I hope to complete the rest this weekend. Crossing fingers.

I listed my headband in You're A Dreamboat today! I hope you like it!





Also I've been featured on Arts Afire blog! Please check that out here!

so your cat won't get fat

Wednesday just flew by!! Where did the day go?!
Despite my busy day I managed to make your cat a treat!!


It's a catnip donut plush!

I make felt plush donuts but they weren't too cat friendly because they have beads all over them.




The new ones are still made with felt but instead of beads I've used floss. And inside is catnip & fiberfill.



I'll have both available in my shop!

Today I received this rockin' ornament I bought from Stacey Winters.


Isn't it fun?! I love her shop.

I leave you with a song that I listened to on repeat today!
Matt and Kim- Yea Yeah

Where's my jacket?

It's cold out!!
Well, it's 59 degrees this beautiful morning in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Time to snuggle in those jackets!!!



Anyways, Indie Emporium is now 2 days away!
Today my plan is to
1. sew up donuts

2. make owl pins
3. make ghost
4. paint
5. make owl zipper pouches

I can't believe I put all this until last minute. I'm so mad at myself! I think I started 2 weeks ago. And last week was crunch time, where I would wake up early and go to bed late. This week I'm doing the same thing. I went to bed last night at 3am, I HAD to finish the owl buddies



Usually when I begin to stab myself with the needle and cut my fingers with the scissors is when I throw in the towel and go to bed, but last night, despite all that I had to finish these little guys. And I did! As you can see in the picture above.

Some of the things I do have completed and you can see at Indie Emporium:
Zipper pouches!


yetis and bigfoots!!


Owl snugglies!!


And you can bet I will take plenty of pictures this weekend!

Vote on my poll if you haven't already! I'll be having my giveaway later this month and it will be of what wins on the polls!

Have an amazing wednesday!!

sweet tooth

We had the Stelabird Birthday Party last night at Dwelling Spaces! It was a lot of fun! I wish I would have taken more pictures though!

Me and my new eggy dunny!! This is the gift my boss gave me!! She's so awesome! I was super pumped about this guy!

The sweets table! We had ton of amazing cupcakes, chocolates and donuts!









I stamped my napkins with the stamps Kristin gave me! I thought they turned out nicely.
