Heartfelt

This is a little felted heart that I learned how to make. It was supposed to be a pin - but I am not ever going to wear a heart pin and I can't think of anyone I know that would wear one so I just decided to "super Size it" and** ta-da ** a "heartfelt" coaster! I really wanted to learn the process and the heart was the assignment. It was very fun and quite easy really. This little project took about 20 minutes. It was enough fun that I left the class considering (very vaguely) the idea of having an alpaca an the endless supply of awesome fiber. I mean really - how hard can it be to have an alpaca. Well - I learned from a friend that I could get one for about $4000 - yes four thousand dollars! I immediately let that little dream evaporate - didn't even have to feel bad about it. I'll just pick up already sheared, cleaned and dyed fibers for $2.99 an oz (an ounce of alpaca wool could make about 100 of these little guys) and save myself mucking a barn, among other things!
