The first item is a felt heart pin cushion with pins. Something I have wanted to make for ages.
It is really soft and squidgey and doubles up well as a stress reliever!
It has a foam centre over which I loosely needle felted a layer of merino wool and then wet felted for a nice tight felt layer. The foam makes it lovely and soft, just right for pins.
The second item is a little bird brooch that again was initially needle felted and then wet felted before decorating with wire feet and a tail, seed beads on it's chest and a button on it's wing.
It's a real cutie! If it wasn't raining I would have taken it outside for it's pic'; it needs a more natural background than my table cloth!
So the giveaway pile is growing...
I plan to make a felt rose brooch next and then include some craft supplies, perhaps even some felt for those of you who have yet to dabble in the soft stuff!

Hi Becky, I've been away in London, and it looks like you've been very busy whilst I've been away. I love (love! Love!!) that gorgeous little bird brooch, and the heart is adorable, too. Oh, and a huge well done on reaching 50 followers :)
