I have had one of those days where I have just surfed surfed and surfed some more.  I have visited lots of forums and found a few new crafty projects to try.

I ordered a little needle felting kit from Ebay and while I wait (impatiently) for this to arrive I have been looking at a few needle felted creations.  If I was a good blogger I would have loads of links to show you but I am sorry I am a rubbish blogger and therefore have none.

Came across a new (to me) thing today.  I used to use loads of crafty forums and always knew the latest things but I dropped out a lot of them as I was spending way too much time reading about crafts and very little time actually doing, anyway, I digress. I came across “Tear Bears” they seems to be very popular in the US and popular with scrapbookers.  Basically you use thick Mulberry paper (the handmade heavy type not the thin stuff) and tear out paper piecing shapes and make them into cute little bears and other animals.  After finding many people selling the bears and kits and CDs I found this generous lady who actually has put online patterns and instructions on how to make your own so I thought I would post a linky

I have also been looking at Post It note holders, keyrings and Tic Tac holders! I thought these would be great teachers gifts so might get a head start before Christmas

Off now to stop my eyes and head spinning from all my hours of surfing oh and I need to get the munchkins to bed sometime soon.
