My Little Felt Monsters

I had fun doodling my little monsters on card stock..

and bringing them to life with a little felt and sewing!

I've seen "Adopt a Monster" party favors all over Pinterest...

so I wanted to use that same Idea for our Monster Bash!

(A Toddler Friendly Halloween Party!)

I also created in Photoshop a Monster

Adoption Certificate for the girls to fill out with me. :)

It was fun having sophia (my 4 yr old) help me choose

how many spikes, teeth or eyes the monsters should have!

And even more fun hearing the names they came up with!

(the blue one is apple....haha. ;)

We also have a spikey, gilly and fuzzball.

I'm considering adding these to my Etsy Shop- Charming Felt!

(complete with the Monster Adoption Certificate!)

These little monsters are fun soft toys for your toddlers...

or as a party favor this Halloween!

I loved seeing the girls play with them..

I started off making 1..then they requested a daddy..

and then a mommy... etc etc..

Some of the monsters are in love.

as you can tell from the photo below.

I have to finish up some client felt orders...

but then I REALLY want to try and make these into puppet versions!

I think the girls would love that. :)

If you follow me on instagram or facebook, then you saw

I made up some sweet little felt owls too!

I'll share those on here soon.. I seriously am in love with them.

What I do during nap and bed time...

Nap and Bed time are 'Go-Time' for a stay home working mama!

My most recent projects have been felt orders and printables..

My Etsy Shops Pretty Paperie Printables and Charming Felt keep me busy and I'm thankful for being able to stay at home but bring in money for our family.

These felt creations are loved little pieces! The perfectionist in me wants them to be just right.

Some of you have messaged me about interest in buying for Christmas Presents..

Due date is November 24th..(give or take 4 days) So my only suggestion is to order sooner than later..Because Charming Felt will only be open for a limited time.

I have some other big projects in the works.. but I'll have it open for orders when I can!

Felt Board Cupcakes..coming right up! ;)

A Recent Client asked me to create

Noah's Ark Birthday Party Printables for her daughter.

I love the theme..so was super excited to make

up a fun invite and some party details for her!

Last night I needed a felt/printable order break..so I created the birthday invite for my girls!

I'm sooo excited about the theme and how the invite came together.

We are doing a Vintage Circus Dress-Up party!

It's a mix of a bunch of things they love.

I knew I wanted to do a vintage circus theme because I'm not a real fan of the color red..

And I wanted to make it different in that the kids don't just come to the circus..they join it!

Lots of fun DIY Projects already going through my head!

I am in the works of tracking down high school kids

we know to be the clown..ballerina/tight rope walker.. strong man..etc..

I can't wait. :)

I admit to my obsession with yellow and white stripes..

What do you think!? I'm sure I'll edit the invite 5 more times before I finally print and send out. :)

Can't wait to share more of the printables and details for the party.

It's at the end of August. Trying to think ahead so I can gather supplies for the DIY Projects.

Going to try and make this my cheapest party yet!..using free or bargain finds..garage sale items..lots of diy projects etc.. I'll keep you posted on how it comes together!

Girls are napping....back to felt and printable orders!

Hope you are having a great monday. 

Ice Cream Felt Board Activity Set

Creating an Ice Cream Felt Board Activity Set

had been in my head for a while..

I started making it up one day during nap..

and finished the other night!

I think it's pretty cute. :)

Inside Scoop: When I'm taking photos of the felt board..

my husband usually makes a 'I'm so hilarious' comment like..

"girls leave mommy alone she's playing with the felt board"... haha.

It's true..I probably look silly.. but the inner stager in me enjoys it. ;)

Did anyone ever play with play mobile?

Growing up we used to make HUGE displays of it. We would make towns. using anything and everything to recreate farms or ancient egypt..

The staging/craft bug was in me from the start.

I texted my mom a photo of the felt board the other day..

she texted back.. "felt play mobile" ;)

Glad I have little ones to make crafty things like this for.

And if you want to purchase some for your own kiddos..

adding them to my shop right now! Visit Charming Felt! - Ice Cream Felt Board Activity Set

I think the girls liked the idea that they could

Pick and Choose their flavors, cones even toppings

to make their very own yummy Ice Cream Cone.

Of course sweet sienna licked hers........ ;)

 

Hope this gives you inspiration for your own felt board..

Visit Charming Felt for more already made cuteness.

Introducing my new Etsy Shop: Charming Felt!

I received a lot of requests to purchase
some of the Felt Board Pieces I created...so..

I decided to open up shop! Charming Felt.
All hand cut..hand sewn..little works of felt art for creative playtime!
No markers or glue.. all homemade, safe & durable cuteness.

Excited for this crafty venture!

I had seen lots of felt board pieces made by just cutting and glueing..

but I wanted a more charming look..

and the hand stitching little details made them extra special!

 And look forward to adding more items to the shop.

I love making Felt Food for my girls..I think I'll add some new Felt Food to the shop soon.

And because large felt boards are a bit tricky to ship...I plan on creating portable roll up ones that will have fabric on one side..felt on the other..with a tie to close them.

Perfect to be able to roll out on the table for your kids to play with!

If you are interested in finding out more...

check out the listings in my shop...Charming Felt.

Pricing is determined by how long it takes me to create the hand stitched pieces.

If you have any questions.. or requests for certain items grouped.. message me!
