Spring Blessings

At the end of January I got the sweetest request from two of the nicest Silver Bella's. I met Stacy McGinnis & Natalie Hansen at this year's Silver Bella in Omaha Nebraska and when they invited me to participate in a swap they were hosting I jumped at the opportunity. The swap, the Heartfelt Spring Swap intrigued me, and the reason, because our only rule was to create a spring ornament with felt. I was so excited to start creating and I began thinking about what to make. I decided that I was going to make my ornament reminiscent of an old fashioned sugared egg. I used vintage wool felt, hand dyed chenille & hand dyed velvet that I mixed myself to achieve those oh so special shades of spring. Then I glittered them up, added some fresh water pearls, added a special label and mailed them off. I hope the other girls in the swap enjoy them. When I receive my swaps I will let you see right away the special spring joy that comes my way.
