DIY Felt Mug Cozy For Hanukkah Makes A Great Gift!
Wool felt is a truly wonderful material available in a nice range of luscious rich colors, can be purchased in 12″x12″ squares, and since it doesn’t unravel, you can craft away to your heart’s content without the need for glue or sewing, if you so desire. This DIY felt mug cozy is quick and would make a wonderful gift this holiday season, together of course with some lovely mugs! I have added the Hanukkah themed details to my mug cozies using felting, with a multiple needle felting tool and a felting pad, though one can also of course add embroidery, or attach shapes with embroidery, or even add a few…

One of the greatest pleasure of blogging is seeing proof that people actually use my patterns, yippee! Susan, a blogger from Organized 31 (who grew up in Hawaii and told me that they always rooted their pineapple tops in soil) wanted to make a gift for the children of a friend that celebrates Hanuukah, and she knew just where to look. I love her version of my simple crocheted Hanukkah pouch and thought I’d share it with you, especially since I just became aware of it having posted a roundup from my archives of Crochet Patterns For Hanukkah!

With the holiday approaching quickly I thought I’d share some crochet projects from the archives to get you started, as the time is now! I on the other hand am busy with editorial crafting content that does not at the moment include crocheting, but I will fit some in there hopefully sooner than later!

Aren’t these eight pointed wool felt stars great looking? I have to say I never thought that felt could look so good, that is until today when I started crafting for the very first time with 100% wool felt, which is a very very distant relative of the acrylic felt I’ve been using for years. More on that another time, for now I just want to share with you that wool felt is wonderful for holiday crafting, and you are going to love the rich colors one can find, ahhhhhh. I’m going to be creating quite a few crafts for Chanukah using wool felt, some which I’ll be able to…
