Felt Rose Mini Frame

I had this mini frame which was cute but it had no pop to it.  So, I grabbed some felt and decided to make a mini felt roses and attach it around the frame and I think it turned out beautifully ...

Here's a quick tutorial on how I did it...

Cut small felt circles.  Does not need to be perfect circles.

Fold circle in half and start rolling from one end.  Glue together.

Glue onto the frame.

See ... wasn't that easy?  Now it has some "pop" to it!

Splatoon craze!

Yes, yes! It's been over a year! What can I say ... Life! I was super busy but just 2 weeks ago something happened that made me stop everything in an instant. I had a stroke! Here I am in my mid forties, in rather good health and I get a stroke. How is this possible? Even the Drs don't understand why I had one but I did. So life changes are now happening. Quit 2 of the 3 jobs I had, crafting more, eating much healthier, starting an exercise regimen. However I still have 2 big stressors in my life that I need to change but am having great difficulty changing ... Finances and relationship. I need more of one and none of the other! While I try to figure that out, this girl will be crafting more to relieve stress.  So this is what I've been up to lately...

  

Splatoon Squids!!!  Aren't they adorbs? My kids are really into splatoon right now 

so I made these cute keychains.

I couldn't decide if I should put spots on them or not so I took a Facebook and 

Instagram vote and surprisingly enough, it was half and half!

Then I asked do I put felt spots or just draw them on.

Split decision as well. So I just made a mixture of them all.  Lol!

And here are my babies!
