Just another day in Cool Projects from you, baby!

Did you see #3, the little foam cones covered with fabric to make holiday trees? I am making those.

#13, the wine bottle wraps are nice, too. They could be made from scrap booking papers and used not only on beverage bottles, but home canned stuff or recycled jars of homemade bath salts or even bars of soap.

Oh, and I have always like those little yo-yo circle things, but never thought to make tiny ornaments from them. That will be a nice project to take to fiber club, especially since my knitting has recently been way too weird.

I also like their slideshow of ornaments, most particularly this wool felt one, which is also going to be a fiber club thing.

I can see that I will be wasting a lot of time on that site tonight.

Aw, look at these snow people. Sweet.

These could be made easily without any hand sewing by using those little bottles of fabric paints, the ones with the pointy tips. I could also sprinkle the wet paint with tiny beads or glitter for extra shine. These are kind of like the tree ornaments I made last year.

Hi Jilly,

I just love that felted ornament. So pretty...didn't know you are in a fiber club. That is really neat! Didn't look through the rest of that site, I've been on Facebook...am going to look at the rest of what you posted!

Those pillows are wonderful. I especially like how you pieced the second one.
