Masterpieces of Fun Art review and Giveaway

I love, love, love the items in Masterpieces of Fun Art's shop! I was thrilled to be able to do a review and giveaway of Simone's awesome products! She sent me these 4 super cute hair clips to try out.

My girls went nuts for them! They immediately went in their hair.

 Unfortunately, I have a very active toddler who won't stay still for pictures. This was the best shot I could get of her. Though, I was not allowed to take her "pretty" out. She loved them!

They all included a non-slip grip. Worked perfect in both girls hair. I have a hard time finding clips that will stay in my little one's hair. It's just starting to really come in now. I had no problem with the clip falling out of her hair. Well until she yanked it out that is ;)

Simone has so many unbelievably cute items in her shop. Believe me when I say that it was very hard to pick just a few to post on here. Here are a few of my favorites.

how cute are these for Easter??

Love these carnation clips!

She makes stylish chunky necklaces now too!

Aren't those the cutest???

Simone is also so gracious to offer up another set of hair clips to one of my readers! One lucky reader will win this Owl, Cupcake, Bird Hair Clip Sampler!

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!)

Crafty Mom Activity- Felt Bowtie Pasta & Sauce

Materials Needed:
Red & Tan Felt
Pinking Shears
Needle and Thread

First, cut out a rectangle from the tan felt. It can be any size you wish.

Then, use the pinking shears to cut both short sides of your rectangle.

Fold in half lengthwise. While still folded, fold the side closest to you back to the bottom of the rectangle. Repeat on the opposite side.

Stitch in the center just enough to hold it together, but make sure it is sewn on tightly. Repeat as many times as you would like to make a big bowl of bowtie pasta.

To make the sauce, just cutout a shape with the red felt and place it on top. Yum!
