Felt and Fancy

Is anyone else somewhat addicted to Pinterest like I am??  It's a great website with great ideas...recipes, organizing, crafts, fashion...just about anything you can think of.  I have a crafty side to me, so I started looking for different crafts that I could do.  Several friends and I decided to get together and have a craft night one night.  My friend Laura and I had seen some cute wreaths on Pinterest so we decided we wanted to make wreaths.  We had each made one for our homes already, so we decided to make one to send to our friend Rebecca who is working at an orphanage in China.

Melissa, Laura, me and Meghann at our craft night.  We are holding the wreath that we sent to Rebecca.

We kind of joked that night that we should start making and selling wreaths.  Well, a few days later, Laura told me that she found out about a craft show in our area and so we decided to give it a try!  So Felt and Fancy was born!

We worked really hard and made a lot of wreaths for the craft show.  We also made yarn wrapped letters and hair clips.  We had fun at the craft show and actually made a profit, so we were happy about that!  We have decided to stick with it and do some more craft shows.  We also have a Facebook page where we sell our wreaths.  This project has been a lot of fun and I hope we will continue it for a while.  I know a lot of people are making different crafts for their home, but I know that some people just are not crafty or they do not have time or patience to spend making crafts.  So those are the people that we hope will like and buy our items.  I will leave you with some pictures.
