Couch Pillows

In the living room:

Detail:

I'd been meaning to take a picture of these for a while, but I hadn't gotten around to it. But now that the living room is finally coming together, I thought it was about time. I started out with some wool suiting fabric for the base, and did some machine aplique on top with yellow and cream colored felt pieces. I thought the tessellation went well with the mid-century feel of our living space.

Also, the owl piece above the couch was a needle felting project of mine I did in college.

Neckwarmer

I've been meaning to upload a picture of this for a while, but I kept forgetting. It's a neckwarmer. SUPER simple, and fun to make. I've been thinking I might make a some more to sell on Etsy if I can generate some interest.

Star Wars Hat

Here is an picture of Luke Skywalker for comparison. Work in progress

I would probably consider myself a geek. I grew up watching Star Trek and I love Star Wars, but I don't think I would have ever done this project on my own. I did this "hat" for my boyfriend as a Christmas present. He thought it would be cool to have a "Rebel Alliance Helmet" as a winter cap. So I crocheted him one. The entire hat is crocheted with the exception of some stitching I did on the detail, and some embroidery I did for the "V" symbols on the side and the design over the ear. It was a little late for Christmas, but it came with a neat little needle felted helmet Christmas ornament. (Maybe, I'll upload pictures of this later). If I would ever do it again to sell on Etsy or for anyone else, I would probably change a couple things, but I'm really happy with the way it came, out, and I think he is too.

My first project finished project of the new year. This project was a hat that I promised my friend Liz a while ago and she finally got it for Christmas. It's a combination of both crochet, with a knitted trim.

I think it came out really well, and Liz really enjoyed it.

Also, if you look closely on the first picture, you can see some Christmas stockings I had sewn for my boyfriend and I. :)
