Fun Finds Friday

Alright, usually I give all sorts of fun things to make over the weekend, but as it is Easter weekend. and I don't have many things in the works, I think I shall just post my inspiration for getting things done this weekend.

I woke up to snow this morning, and trudged my way up to the college campus for a job interview. (I got the job, happy dance) but the whole way I kept thinking how it was supposed to be spring, not winter..and so here you go.

Some spring flowers to warm your hearts!

I have been on a bit of a hat kick lately. It is spring here in Central Oregon, and is the perfect weather for a nice cute hat. Also, I am seeing a ton of new shops opening up that cater to all things baby!

I just finished Brooklin's Berry hat, and want to make many more of these hats for other babies I know...and even some that I don't know.

Here is some inspiration, no, these are not my creation, and the links to find them are at the bottom of the pictures.

So before I get into the fun finds, I suppose I should show you my fun makes! It is in fact the reason for the finds!

Just before Christmas, I bought myself a simple little top whorl drop spindle from Ford4Him over at Etsy.com

Apparently puppies think that a stick is a stick even when it is not a stick, and they chewed up my spindle while I was out grocery shopping with hubby. Needless to say, I was a bit more than upset. However, even though I really did like that spindle, it was not what I really wanted.

So I scoured the internet, and found a few that I liked and decided that I needed to make my own, so that it would be MINE. Not someone else's.

This is what I got:




I haven't figured out a name for her yet, and wouldn't mind some help on naming her.

I spun up some sample merino, bamboo, and alpaca from my Phat Fiber box last night, hubby thinks I am crazy, and addicted!

Also, last night, I discovered that kittens like spindles as much as puppies do. Though, they didn't destroy the spindle, they just batted at it.

here are a couple pics of them not being freaks!

This is Jack and Mocha lazing across one another. They are wonderful little ones.
This is Jack and Daniel lazing about on top of my printer...solidly asleep, even while hubby was printing things for school. Jack is the one sitting up, and Dani is the one laying down.

Now for the inspiration of the weekend!

Check out these yarns! The links are below the pictures to find out where to get them.

I have been on a big Felting kick lately. Ans so I bring you....da da tada...fun and funky felted bags! Keep in mind none of these are mine, and have infact been made by others. The links to their origin site can be found at the bottom of each image.

Not everything felted needs to be a bag, pot holders, mittens and hats are great too!
