Felt Swiss Army Knife (... because I heart MacGyver!)

Whew! I've been wrapping up unfinished projects left and right all week long. This felt Swiss Army Knife pin cushion has movable tools. I embroidered the Victorinox logo, too. The tools I feltified include a big blade, little blade, combination saw/ruler/hook thingy, and a couple of combination flathead screwdrivers/bottle openers/thingies. Yeah, I don't know what half of the contraptions in real Swiss Army knives are actually for, but they sure come in handy when I need to diffuse bombs or get into the control panels of runaway robots!

Behold! It can open cans AND hold your stick pins!

The knife opens and closes completely. I even sewed in a little wire corkscrew! To finish the pin cushion, I covered the bottom and sides with a layer of glue and felt so that pins won't poke through.

Note the streamlined stitches and aerodynamic curves... ;)
Corkscrew = Essential

This knife isn't for sale... yet. I may put it on Etsy eventually. But for now, I just want to stare at it, a lot. (Pssst... Did I mention that I heart MacGyver?!)

Bacon and Egg: Together At Last

The long, LONG journey to make the perfect bacon Felt Fuzzi has come to a close. Out of the many felt disasters that didn't look a thing like bacon, comes this simple, majestic masterpiece:

TAAAAA DAAAAAAAAA!!!

And yes, that is a new Egg design. The yolk is padded for a more realistic sunny side up look. The bacon to egg ratio is 1:1 - we're not breaking up the set... for now. It would be sacrilegious. It's B & E, not just B. Enjoy these in your hair or on your shirt, but for the love of your digestive tract don't eat it!

Lil' Fuzzi Clouds

The Sun can get little too close for comfort down here in Austin - I am a smidge closer to the Equator than I am used to after all. Every once in a while, it's nice to have some fluffy clouds to break up all this damn sunshine (*waa*). These clouds (yes, there are two of them sewn together...) are available as snap clips, pinch (alligator) clips, French barrettes, and pins.

Pew! Pew! Pew! They've come for our clouds!!"
