Felt Cuties You Can Use As Coasters

Due to poor health I ended up taking three days off of from work last week. This time gave me pause that I was overdue to get some more creative time squeezed into my schedule as I haven't made anything in what feels like ages. It's not that I have been ignoring my blog here, but more a case of low in creative juice. Cue some felt and the sewing machine and here is the result of the past five days; it's like the creative powers that be gave me a swift kick! :-)

Tea cups and saucer felt coasters - Set of four

I had loads of fun sewing everything, just the act of cutting things out and the hum of the machine was very relaxing. I feel almost like I've taken a mini vacation in my studio instead of feeling bad of health.

Cardinal and Sparrow Bird Felt Coaster - Set of Four

The idea's for these coasters are tumbling all around in my brain faster than I can make them, but I am already feeling some other thoughts branching just a step or two from here. I've been sketching several things down in my design book which I am anxious to start. The weather is finally turning rainy with cool fronts passing through the area, so I will start running around town less and be more focused.

I have some more less 'traditional' designs coming which I will be sharing soon. :) Right now these are all up in my Etsy shop, along the a teaser of a product line to come. I am really crazy about this print, it's just so fun! Here's a little peek for you.

Now that five days have passed I am feeling a little bit better. I visited the doctor on Friday so now I'm just waiting on some blood work. I don't think it's anything too serious, just may be off on some vitamins or something like that which makes you feel awful. Also visited my optometrist which was a long over due visit, seems my current glasses are now to strong for me. I was pretty surprised to hear that but it certainly explains the headaches I've been having again. So hopefully the new glasses which should be here in around a week will improve things.

It's supposed to barely make 72F here today, I'm planning on relishing the cooler temperatures! I know for those of you up north that probably sounds like summer, but it was just in the lower 90's last week and I am very happy Autumn weather has finally arrived.
