The Creative Capsule's Review and Giveaway

My daughter was thrilled to get this little box in from The Creative Capsule!

Inside was all the supplies needed to make one of their cool new "Pocket on a String".

Look how excited she is.

She really enjoyed herself. She concentrated really hard while working on it... As you can see from the picture, it's a really great fine motor activity.

We incorporated some math into this activity. We made patterns with the enclosed colored pasta. There was more than enough pasta to string on to it...don't worry about running out. We had enough to do another craft project with the excess.

The fun thing about this kit is that is has a little "pocket"that you attach on the end.

Pop the cap on & you have a nifty little place to hold your treasures. :)

So much fun! Look how happy she is! :)

She uses this every day! She likes to pretend that it's a pirate treasure and hides it in the house.

This was SO much fun to do together & very easy for children to do themselves. (Always a plus!)

It comes prepackaged in the adorable box in the first picture so it is ready to give as a gift.

The "Pocket On A String" isn't the only kit they have available. They have this cute "Monster Mate" kit. Paint & glue things on the body to create a one of a kind monster!

How cute is this "Loggerheads" Family? It's another one of the DIY kits that are available.

They also have Party Packs! No more wondering what kind of activities to do at a birthday party. The Creative Capsule includes everything you need for a fun birthday party activity.

For those of you located in the Salt lake area...The Creative Capsule is local! The offer birthday parties and more from a wide variety of themes!

The Creative Capsule is so generous to give away another "Pocket On A Stick" kit to one lucky reader!

Sfeltaccessories Review & Giveaway

I am so very excited to be able to review my first item- A felt bead kit from Sfeltaccessories. Plus, Ann, the owner of Sfeltaccessories has agreed to let me giveaway a kit as well, so you can have fun making this at home.

This is off of Ann's Etsy's profile page:
"I am a designer, a knitter and felter and I hope my unique, original designs bring a modern edge to knitting and felting.
Having studied at Cardiff University I worked as a Textile teacher.
I design and make quality items using wool and felt including unique neckwarmers, collars, necklaces, handbags and handmade felted soaps. I also produce a number of kits to enable people to produce felt items themselves."

I was thrilled to receive my package in the mail from Sfeltaccessories! She package it beautifully and made sure that my item made it unharmed. After opening the box, I found this:

Inside, was EVERYTHING I needed to make the beads. It was all beautifully wrapped.

The felt she included was gorgeous! The pictures do not do them justice. The colors were so vibrant. I almost didn't want to touch them. (Notice the word almost!)

S was just as excited as I was to make these. She wanted the beads for her ever expanding dress-up bin.

Because S, is still younger and has, well, not much of an attention span yet, I started a few of the beads before she woke up:

S, Loved playing with the felt. She loved how soft it was!

We had a blast making these beads. It was also a great learning experience. I think to say that we are beginner felters that we did pretty good:

We currently do not have them stringed...S decided that she was having a lot of fun juggling with them, so when she tires of that then we'll turn it into a necklace. :)

So who wants to win one of these kits???

(not yelling just super excited!)
