It started out like this
and then it turned in to this.
I have tried felting before without much luck.....the first project is now a very handy hot holder......it was meant to be felt for a pair of babies booties.....and when I was a nanny in England I felted a VERY expensive jumper of one of the children I was nanny to.......that didn't go down well.......I could have said I was breaking new ground in the craft industry it was a long time ago....I had never seen anything felted before.........it wasn't all bad the jumper fitted a doll very nicely.
My ipod lives in it.
Gemma says I look quite funny with it on as I only use it when I walk and I am one of those walkers who...... throws their legs out of bed puts on their worse clothes and heads off. My pants have paint all over them. I say the ipod cover is dressing up my walking attire.LOL.
This lovely parcel arrived in the post today.
Filled with these.
And this very cute little tin.
which had this hiding in it.
It has been a good morning the sun is shining so must go fill the green waste bin with weeds urrrr.
and then it turned in to this.

Cute i-pod holder!I had a go at felting for the first time earlier this year. You think that it isn't working, then all of a sudden it's half the size.
Love all the pics from along the Torrens too- makes me very homesick! Still, only 2 more weeks and we will be heading in that direction for holidays.
Love your I-pod case. Cute story about the jumper. I bet it wasn't funny then. I also joined the pincushion of the month. I can't wait now for mine to come. The hedgehog is cute. I love the ones on Leannes blog. Fun, fun!!!
I love the way felted projects look but haven't tried it yet. Your little iPod case is cool!
Love the ipod case.......I have some jumpers I will probably never wear again (for one reason or another!) - one in particular I have often thought about dyeing and felting and making something...not sure what out of....! thanks for sharing the QFD goodies....my parcel should be arriving soon as well........I am about to get into the sewing room and have a big tidy up......so I can actually use it again....LOL..enjoy the sunshine...it is a beautiful day today......nice to be on holidays!
Great IPOD case!!! When I head out to the gym I am a sight!! I think I need a fancy IPOD carrier too!! Great mail also.
Love the felted bag. Too cute.
Love the bag Leanne, well done....I used to 'felt' woolies without trying years ago...yep washed them in water too hot. Wish I'd kept them now. I think I'll do what Lorraine suggested and felt some of my old woolies. I'm also a knitter so I may use up some odments of wool....Thanks for the inspiration...Hugs Chrissy x
I am looking forward to my mail too! Just wish I hadn't scrolled all the way through your post - now I know what's in my parcel thats coming!! I love the iPod case.
Hi Leanne! Your iPod cover has turned out beautifully. I tried to make the same thing, and it was a disaster! I could not get it to felt up for anything. Just crazy. You spend all your life trying not to matt your woollen garments, & then when finally I was able to abuse something, it wouldn't work - go figure!
Well, that's what the sun does! Makes the weeds grow! Ours have gone all 'Day of the Triffids' out the front. I feel a bit scared walking out there. Of course I'm not putting them in the green waste, just trying to think of literary synonyms for them. You've got the right idea!
Love it too...life is to short not have bright and happy little things...so I think it´s a good way to start your day... with a happy little bag and hopefully a happy smile on your face.. ;o)
Love the iPod holder - such a bright and cheerful addition to your morning attire! Your Pincushion kit looks gorgeous - love the strawberry pin topper.
Fun mail is always fun! And why shouldn't you have a nice colourful little holder for your iPod? And of course the doll needed a jumper! I can't see any problem with that!! LOL! Take care!
lovely bag.......
Hi Leanne...love your ipod cover...I also received my pincushion bom today...It was because of Janelle and Leannes photos that I signed up...isnt this months project so lovel...all the best Julie
Your ipod cover is lovely and I'm very envious of your goodies through the post! Lucy x
You were way before your time with the whole felting thing!!
I love your iPod holder. Must be the best dressed iPod in town :)
Those are some lovely goodies in that parcel - especially the cute strawberry pin.
Enjoy the weeding!

How cool! Very funky - and warm looking! Love the strawberry pin...way too cute! Jo x
Love the ipod holder. We would make quite a sight you and I walking in the morning. I do the same thing you do. It's not a beauty contest right?
I love the ipod holder will have to try to make one for a friend. I gave you a blog award. Visit my blog to read more about it and congratulations!
What a lovely bag and the pics is also lovely!
Kind regards

Cute i-pod holder!
I’m waiting for my pincushion parcel to arrive... exciting!
Isn't the sun terrific!!! I used to be one of those walkers...have got a bit lazy lately...hopefully the weather will inspire me!! Your felted cover looks very cute!! Cathyxx
Oh wow you were SO spoilt! I love all the goodies in there. Umm feeling a little jel jel.
I also just LOVE your ipod bag - really just georgeous. Ummm now I am really tempted to knit something just to felt it. Problem - knitting is SLOW and I have lots of stitching to do!
I haven't tried felting -- yet!!. Hedgehog is so cute. I used to be a nanny in London - less said about that the better.

That's a funky looking ipod case, maybe you could start a new trend, being a crafty ground breaker and all.
I love the felting. I'm off to the op shop this am to find some lovely jumpers to felt myself.
Love your little ipod bag. I'm like you, just get out of bed and chuck something on and get out there and walk.
