Felted Purses, Totes and Gifts

in Accessories, Bags, Clothing, Crafts, Crocheting, Featured Crafters, Felt, Handmade, Knitting, Quilts on 17/06/13

I love felting wool and making it into purposeful items.  It is thrilling to put my beloved hand knit or crocheted item into the washing machine and see what comes out.

Random Facts About You?

I am addicted to yarn.
I have three cats and a Golden Retriever.
My daughter is a pastry chef in training.
I am double jointed.



What got you started crafting?

I had a babysitter that taught me how to crochet and knit at the age of 7. I have been "hooked" ever since.



What is your source of inspiration?

I love felting wool and making it into purposeful items. It is thrilling to put my beloved hand knit or crocheted item into the washing machine and see what comes out.



What have you made recently?

I recently made a Kiwi Green felted purse with an openweave crocheted flap. I found 100% yarn in the fabulous color of kiwi at my local yarn shop. I designed the purse as i went along. Once the body of the purse and strap were knitted, I realized it needed a really unique flap. I got out my crochet hook and started making the openweave flap. Once done, I threw it in the washing machine in hot water and let the felting process do its thing. I loved the outcome so much that I made several other purses in different colors.





Where do you sell your crafts presently?

I sell on etsy: www.spendtimewithyarn.etsy.com



Why are handmade crafts important to you?

Making handmade items allows me the freedom to design my own purses and make items with specific features. I love the sense of accomplishment I feel when my handmade creations are appreciated by others.
