Hand Felting Weekend

Button Journal Closure

Today was the monthly birthday gathering for the Monday afternoon (and sometimes Wednesday) knitting group I go to. April seems to be a very popular month for babies. I have several relatives with birthdays within a week of mine. In college and high school I had several friends who fell into that range as well. And, this knitting group is no different! There were four of us (three of us in attendance). So, I had to pull together something to gift my fellow Aries babies.

Felted Moleskein Covers

I decided on felted notebook covers. The one I made for the holiday exchange was a huge hit and the cause of some fights. Since I did not know if any of these women journal or use sketchbooks I thought a smaller, purse-friendly version would be more universal of a gift. So, I got a 3-pack of the small kraft moleskine journals and made covers for those. They too seemed to be a hit.

The photo at the top of the post used one of my new birthday toys - a +4 close-up filter :-) Thanks Mom and Dad!
