Heart-Felt Holidays: 40 Festive Felt Projects to Celebrate the Seasons
The name says it all! I'm so excited to have been a small part of this book by the wonderful folks at Lark. I've worked with them before and it's always such a pleasure. This one is chock-full of cute projects (bowling elves? love it!) for Valentine's Day, Father's Day, Martin Luther King Day...they're all covered.
The book is arranged so that it starts with New Year's and ends with Kwanzaa (with Birthdays and Baby Showers too!). There's a great variety of projects included and since working with felt is so fun (and forgiving) it should keep you busy and full of handmade happiness throughout the year.
I have contributed four projects to this book to celebrate Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, and Teacher's Appreciation Day. All of my projects work with felted garment wool, but they'd work just fine with regular sheet felt too.
And because they're awesome, Lark has given me an extra copy of the book to share.
This giveaway is now closed.
Just in case you're not feeling lucky, you can always buy your own copy. It's under $10 on Amazon! A steal! Steal I say!
Good luck, everyone.
Ooh, I like making things for Halloween, or fall in general. It's a great time of year.
ReplyDeletesummer solstice is such a fun and possibly crafty time? I cant wait for summer to hit our neck of the woods......thank you for the give-a-way ^_^
ReplyDeleteOOOOO! Spring Time! For sure. I love the color green and round these parts (Northern California) the green rolling hills of the valley are gorgeous and inspiring!

I'd love to make something for birthdays that we can use more than once! Or something for Christmas, I love Christmas :-) Great gave away!
ReplyDeleteI love "creepy cute" decorations for Halloween. I'd like to make some cute little bats to hang.
ReplyDeleteI like to craft for Christmas. It's fun because there are so many supplies out that time of year. You can use traditional and non traditional themes and colors.

Looks great! I love sewing with felt. Thank you for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI like crafting for the autumn equinox. There's nothing like fall leaves and acorns to inspire craftiness. (:
ReplyDeletemy brother, his wife, nephews and niece live in finland and we only get to see them every few years at christmas. among the laughs hugs and memories we share are the handmade gifts exchanged.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I love to craft in all seasons. But we don't have many summer creations. Summer time crafting would be fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Fourth of July! A garland of stars and stripes!! Wouldn't that be fun? Oh, my mind is spinning with an idea right now!
ReplyDeleteLove your posts and feeling your creativity come through.
Oh I have always been totally enamoured with their little apple but I am loving the mushrooms on the heart.
ReplyDeleteI love making things for Christmas but now I am in the Northern Hemisphere I will have to give Halloween a go!!
Thanks for the give away.
Cheers

I love crafting for Halloween and Thanksgiving because I love fall crafts! But really I love crafting for all the seasons!
ReplyDeleteWell, it would have to be Halloween, my favorite holiday! I see you now have the evil double word "test." I have never been able to make one of those work. We'll see.....sigh.
ReplyDeleteI love everything spring! Bunnies, eggs, flowers, all the sweet sweet bright and soft pastel colors. Everything coming to life...even felt can come to life!
ReplyDeleteWonderful give-away! :)

The book looks great! I'd love to win a copy. And i really enjoy your blog :)
ReplyDeleteSomehow the colours of autumn seem to work well in felt, so more than anything else I find myself crafting in the fall.
Looks very promising :) I love the look of the cake on the cover! I would make it for my daughters birthday, so she can use it for one of her garden tea parties.
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite season to craft for. The bounty of colors, acorns, pumpkins, gourds... They really get my creative juices going. So does Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this generous give-away.

ReplyDeleteDoh, sorry for the double post.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to try winning one first...I craft most for Christmas though I occasionally pick up a birthday. With a little one coming, though, I wouldn't mind starting a Teacher Gift Idea Library. = )
ReplyDeleteWell, I like crafting through the year to mark the seasons and rhythms of the year. But it is very fun to make witches and ghosts for Halloween. Karen Traversy, Bridgit's Bell, karentraversy@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteI 'm a sucker for hearts so it will have to be Valetine's Day and having a heart and mushrooms is twice as good! JoAnn
ReplyDeleteI think Earth Day would be a great holiday to craft for.
ReplyDeleteEaster is one of my favorite holidays--all those bunnies and spring flowers!

Congrats for being involved in such a nice book :)
ReplyDeleteI think it'd be nice to craft something for the cherry blossom time.. which is now, at least here in Europe. With lots of thin paper, pastel colours, lanterns in the trees, small flowers..

I know its the wrong time of year but it would have to be Christmas for me...I make my boys a decoration each every year so that they will have a lovely box to take with them when they start their own homes...i am always on the lookout for new ideas....
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! If I could choose I would love more summer themed crafts as I love the sea and summer. AriadnefromGreece!
ReplyDeleteariadnesky@hotmail.com
I think it might have to be Christmas, but really anything that involved woodland animals or foliage etc mushrooms, acorns, little elves, the whole works! I love all your felty bits! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! Smart publishers to get you in their book again.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy making teacher gifts with my kids and also Springtime treat... um, I'm not sure these count as holidays :)

I love to sew Easter,,,, I'm gonna buy the book,,, because I just need another craft. If I win I can give it to one of the 4 daughter n laws....
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic looking book! Thanks for offering the giveaway competition!
ReplyDeleteI love the Irish St.Patrick's day! So, wee little Leprechauns, shamrocks and rainbows would be my choice!
The luck of the Irish to you! :D
This book looks amazing! Congratulations on being a part of it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday is Halloween/Samhain. Felt helps make it an even more magical and whimsical time!
We think summertime... Sunshine, sandcastles, picnics in dappled shade, bees and beauty all around!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
I don't know that we celebrate themes and holidays here in Australia as much as our U.S. friends, but my all time favourite crafty time of year has to be Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway, the book looks really cute!
I love to create for Easter. It's a great time to bring out the pastels and the cute little chicks and bunnies and the like. Although I love all holidays (especially Christmas), there is just something about Easter .....
ReplyDeleteThanks for your giveaway and the chance to win. I sure would love this book!
I love working with wool in any form! this looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Beautiful contributions, Lisa! Impeccable work, as always. Thanks for running a giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking, as we're still technically within the festival of Easter (it goes on for 50 days or so!) that eggs are such a beautiful shape to play with. I'd definitely like to make some of those.
birthday celebrations are the sweetest time for craft - i love crafting a wee gift for the birthday child! congratulations on a beautiful book!
ReplyDeleteI always love to craft during the Easter season. My mom kept the house i grew up in full of springtime pastels and lots of bunnies and butterflies for us kids. I still feel like a 5 year old this time of year and get super creative because of it!
ReplyDeleteI like to craft for all holidays, but my very favourite just passed: Easter. My kids also start to help a lot with the holiday crafting and it would be great to get a new book of ideas. AND, felt is my favourite material to work with.
ReplyDeleteI love to craft for all of the holidays but I think that I probably craft the most at Christmas!!! So many wonderful things to do for Christmas!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to craft something with my kids or for my kids and home for every season... but I seem to not have many ideas for Summertime for some reason. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteSpring is the most fun for us. It's still too cold to go outside, but our anticipation is so great we need to do something. Thanks so much for the chance, this book looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHalloween & Christmas, but I do love all the holidays and seasons!
ReplyDeleteWith school letting out and a 6 year old to keep busy, I like all holiday crafts. Last summer we made Christmas, Halloween, spring and anything else we could think up. So, I would love this book, he told me already he wants to learn to sew this summer, so handsewing would be wonderful to start. Your little items are just beautiful. I would be honored to win. Thank you for the giveaway. I am also going to follow you to see what else you might make.
ReplyDeleteI love Fall but it always gets snubbed by me because I am frantically trying to finish Christmas gifts!! So, I think fall is a great time for crafting! Colorful leaves and the feeling of thanksgiving! 8*)
ReplyDeleteI love to craft for fall and Halloween. My fabric of choice is wool and it always lends itself to that season!
ReplyDeleteIt's gotta be Autumn! The colors, that harvest moon, chilly mornings...ah! A time of turning in and a time to create.
