Crafter's Workshop Samples.... USTREAM recap

Getting ready for CHA and my template's big debut! I hope Jaime doesn't mind me posting this but I thought that since you have already seen my templates in numerous posts I'd be safe:)

During the USTREAM Broadcast, I created with my Crafter's Workshop templates -- Whimsical Hearts, Vines and Houses. How fun is that!? (yes, you see many others there too! Love me some stencils!)

Thank you to all who joined me today -- a Saturday afternoon. I'll be back broadcasting live on Friday Night next Friday... hummm what will I do then?

Anyway -- hope you liked the broadcast.
If you have any questions about what you see here or online, please don't hesitate to email me anytime. Love to hear from you and answer your questions "on air" and on this website.

Have a creative day everyone! AND HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE!! Stay safe and have fun tonight!

Poppy Pillow 2

Sheri was in the studio when I created the first Poppy Pillow and absolutely loved it. So, I thought I'd make her one for Christmas.

We had our "Friends Christmas" last night and I gave it to her then. *smile*
This one, although a little hard to see, is made from a neutral coloured linen (not the muslin that I made mine from) Also different, I made this a pillow case (envelope style) and stuffed it with a prefab pillow form. Much nicer... hummmm... maybe I should have given her mine! *wink*
Have a creative day!

Crocheting again... but....

This time with wire....

I have a blue crochet and bead necklace that I love to wear that I purchased at the One of a Kind Show last year. I LOVE it ... and, when people stop to admire it, I am always asked if I made it. The answer is no BUT, I sure could and one day I will make another one for myself.

Well, here it is. I've been wanting a purple necklace and earring set for a while now and since I caught that crochet bug again I thought -- hey, why not *wink* Love how it turned out....

Hope you like!! and just a hint -- watch for it next month on the Mixed Minded website! *double wink*

Have a creative day everyone!!

Felting USTREAM

I had a wonderful time felting LIVE on USTREAM and with Bonnie here in the studio last night. Thanks for joining me again!!

I LOVE the Needle Felted Pocket Warmers (Pictured left) I know I'll be using them this winter once the snow flies! And I'm sure 'the kid' will too!

The Soap felting was funny -- WOW did I ever have clean hands
after all was said and done! I felted another soap after the cameras were off and shockingly ... it went much better! LOL Go Figure! Oh well, the joys of joining me live and watching me create something outside of my crafting comfort zone! hehehe But it was fun!! I'm looking forward to using these. I'll let you know how they work out. I think out of the two pictured here... the green one will be the best. It looks like it felted together nicely. YAY!

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL weekend -- and for those of you who celebrate Christmas, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I am in the studio today until 2pm and then I'll be back Tuesday for my regular hours.
I have people coming in all next week to create in the studio -- let me know if you'd like to join us! LOVE creating with you all!

xoxo Karen
