A coffee sleeve for Julie's 20th! It ended up being a little smaller than I wanted it to be, diameter wise, but I think it'll still do the trick. Up next: my dad's combination birthday/father's day coffee sleeve.

Birthday-ness for Eli
So here is felt birthday card number two. This one took me FOR EVER to do! Especially because of the metalic thread. I had never used the stuff before... it's like stitching with tinsel and it caused me a considerable amount of rage. But it did turn out pretty nice, though I think the felt could have been darker or the thread could have been lighter. The blanket stitch around the edge wasn't supposed to be yellow, it was supposed to be red. Unfortunately I misjudged my embroidery floss stocks, thinking I had red, but ended up having every other colour!
Birthday-ness for Amanda!
So last week I had an idea to make felted/embroidered Birthday Cards. After two of them I decided they were a tremendous amount of work... but they do look pretty awesome. With this project, I have CONQUERED THE BLANKET STITCH! Thank you internet!
