Spring Headbands

Putting felted flowers on elastic headbands has been my latest felting endeavor. Margaret brought Lisa a flower headband made on an elastic band for her birthday and immediately I thought why not felt flowers instead of fabric. Abby received the first one I made with two different types of flowers. Since then I have made a few more with single flowers, rows of flowers, etc. (shown above).
Carol wanted one with a bug. I wonder if a butterfly would fit the bill?

"Beautiful hand-felted flowers. The pattern is easy-to-follow with text and photographs. A lot of people around here are wearing felted flowers in their hair and pinning them to bags. A great pattern." (click on the title to see my pattern in Nancy's Notions catalog. You can purchase it from there, also.)

I work with natural fibers of cotton and wool. This includes knitting, quilt making, needle felting, and sewing and yes even crocheting. I am learning a new crochet pattern for a baby afghan from Pat. Just going into a fabric shop and seeing all the wonderful prints is exciting.The myriad of fabrics is delightful. I enjoy all kinds of flowers--flower gardening, painting flowers, pressing flowers, and felting flowers. The out of doors is my favorite place to create. It may be a birdhouse with a succulent covered roof and a rock faced front, tufa pots, or cement leaves or it could be about anything that looks interesting. I like to do journal writing and family history (mostly I like to read and collect the histories and I love the old photographs). I like to read non-fiction and historical fiction. If it's a true story or based on one, I'm interested.
