Hey mmmakers, how are your February TDITM turtle d Hey mmmakers, how are your February TDITM turtle doves coming along? We have a couple of weeks left in our challenge, so if you haven't started yet be sure to factor that in! Don't be like Last-Minute-Larissa.

Won’t you be my Valentine? Hold on, show me the Won’t you be my Valentine? Hold on, show me the chocolate first

Even though this is not technically part of Lydia’s ornament set, I did give myself partial credit for making the extra credit for February in our Twelve Days In Twelve Months challenge! How’s your challenge going? I’ve made one February turtle dove and have repented of the colors I chose, so now I have to remake it. Stay tuned

SHOWN: hand sewn True Love Heart from my Lord a-Leaping pattern
TO BUY: my Etsy shop
FELT: @feltontheflyco from my curated Jewel palette

#mmmcrafts #twelvedaysin12months #twelvedaysornaments #valentines
Ooh look at me doing the TDITM Extra Credit! But n Ooh look at me doing the TDITM Extra Credit! But not really because this True Love Heart is not for Lydia, it's actually a replacement for the Jewel colorway sample I gave away as a gift a few years ago. (Gorgeous merino wool from @feltontheflyco) I have always meant to replace it (plus the accompanying Lord) and I'm finally making good. *swipe* You see I have my resident turtle doves hanging up over my desk so they can all stare at me pointedly until I have sewn Lydia's. Fingers crossed for a more timely finish this month. I haven’t seen a tag yet for a finished one on IG, but I’m loving all you early birds posting yours in the pinned post on my Facebook page! (mmmcraftspatterns on FB) 

#mmmcrafts #procraftination #twelvedaysin12months #feltontheflyco
YAY! THE JEWEL PALETTE IS AVAILABLE AGAIN! If you YAY! THE JEWEL PALETTE IS AVAILABLE AGAIN! If you have been waiting to purchase my curated Twelve Days Jewel palette, wait no more! @feltontheflyco has a new owner and new Etsy URL. Check her IG profile for the link.
Samantha is ready to ship you this lovely 31 sheet bundle of rich, jewel-toned merino wool felts! You will receive all the felts I used to make the Sapphire, Gold, and Emerald samples you see if you swipe.
(Unfortunately, Raw Umber is still not available at this time, but see my note in the FOTF color guide about a great substitute: mmmcrafts.com > color guides + kits)
Best wishes ❤ to Janet on her retirement, and congratulations 🎉 to Samantha on her new business!
