Embellishing
A while ago, a friend told me about wool bags you can buy for about five bucks from the Army Surplus store. So I took a look and bought two. They look like they could have been made from old wool Navy blankets? My daughters and I have played around with them and here is one so far. It needs lots more embellishing. Anna used the letter tiles for the name – this bag will go to Aunt Jean for her birthday in the fall, so we have lots of time to finish up this project. Janelle added the hearts and stitching. Charis wants to embellish the strap. I did needle felting by hand – and think one of those embellishing/felting machines would move this project along much faster! I’ve actually looked at two machines and might just convince the nice guy I’m married to that it would make a wonderful Birthday gift! :-)
