Felt birdies have arrived just in time for spring! Hopefully spring is just around the corner, even though the snow keeps coming. These little birdies are knitted from 100% merino wool and then felted. All of the felt birds are hand-sewn and possess a cute button on their wing and a ribbon for hanging. Each Bird measures 6.5″W X 2.5″H. All three birds are placed in one of my hand knitted bowls and this one happens to be green for spring, yay! Birdies are super cute and would brighten any room!

This vintage inspired clutch is one of my latest creations. I knitted this handbag using 100% Lopi Wool and then felted it. For embellishment, I decided to use pieces of wool felt and gems to create a brooch which can be wore separately to jazz up any jacket, bag. etc. This clutch was inspired by accessories wore by my grandma but with a modern flare of today. This clutch is great for special occasions making you the hit of the party!. My latest creation is now listed on Etsy, to view visit http://myjennywren.etsy.com.

Freshly baked from the oven..okay not really.These heart shaped cookies are made with fibers and felt.
My inspirations stemmed from the stain glass cookies I made when I was little and yummy jam filled cookies, I can’t seem to resist. After I knitted and felted the wool, I then cut it into heart shapes and played with various wool and silk roving’s to make the center of the cookie. For extra fun, I scented the cookies which make any room smell great. These Pretty and Oh So Lovely cookies can brighten any room and make nice gifts, especially with Valentine’s around the corner. My heart shaped cookies can be purchased at Etsy, http://myjennywren.etsy.com.
