Warning: Seriously Cute Craft Supplies

November 10, 2009 By Spoonful of Sugar - 31 Comments

Recently I helped out a fellow quilter who was desperately seeking some fabric to finish off a project, and made a new friend in the process! Not only did Tracey write the sweetest thank you  – she also sent me a package of the most gorgeous felt embellishments and brooch kit that I have ever seen! Tracey is such an accomplished quilter and designer – lots of eye candy on her blog. 

Thank you Tracey – you have wonderful taste in craft supplies and I look forward to incorporating them into a few projects soon!

Tracey has advised that the felt goodies are available from Fix Design in New Zealand who have an etsy shop and an online store.  I have some ideas for the felt, but first I want to admire them some more!

The latest issue of Marie Claire Idees arrived in my letterbox this week and it is a wonderful issue full of lots of decorating and craft ideas for Christmas. Here are some of my favourite projects –

I can’t wait to get crafting on some Christmas projects – it is my favourite time of the year!!

    I love the broach kit! Who knew you could find something already cut in a store that actually was cute!? Thanks for the great Christmas ideas. I love the candycane wreaths. I might have to give it a try with my kidos!! Or maybe for them! I think that would be even better!

    WOw really cute !! You know its hard to get felt over here, instead of it we get something similar called “Pañolenci” but you can cut it so good, or make a lot of details over ur design, specially tiny ones.

    I cant wait to start doing xmass stuff!!!
