On the subject of Felting, Sewing, and Improv

I have been in a felting frenzy lately! As a thank you to my Improv team, I took suggestions from them for what they wanted and have been busy fulfilling those requests. Here's a picture of one that I did for Cole(one of the guys on the team, see pic at the bottom of the post):

He's a huge Star Wars fan, so I whipped this out :) 

I've also done a Peter Pan-themed one for my dear friend Maggie, but forgot to take a picture. Shame on me. 

My parents and I have been sewing things, too! We keep getting packages from my grandma that are filled with quilting utensils and fabric.

Yeah, it's a lot of fabric. 

But we use the fabric, so that's good! We use it to make little bags like these:

And then we donate those bags to the hospitals that my brother goes to when he has an appointment! It's a fun way to make and give things :) 

Now, the subject of Improv! I've been having so much fun with my team. Lots of laughing and weirdness is just the beginning! 

This is my team: 

From left to right(back row first, then front row): Me, Cole, Aaron, Maggie, Josh, and Ariel. :) 

I made them all bracelets according to their "color". We all have a color that represents us in shows that we do, so I thought I'd make them that so they can coordinate with our show outfits :) 

When we get together for classes we always have an awesome time!

Crafterbowl

Today is the SUPERBOWL! Woohoo! I have no idea what will happen and I don't even really know anything about football or the Super Bowl. 

My family and I aren't sports people. We just don't enjoy sports as much as crafting :)

Sooooooo, that's why my fam and I are switching the name for us—we're celebrating the CRAFTERBOWL! WOOHOO! We're just going to craft and craft and then craft some more. Fun, right?

Here's what I'm working on: 

I'm gonna sew Mr Sherlock Holmes here to the muslin, add some more detail, and then hang him on my wall :) (and yes, I cut that silhouette of him out of felt)

Here's what my dad is working on: 

Eeyup. He pieced this quilt-top all together and sewed it and now he's working on the borders! 

And here's some of my mom's in-progress creations: 

My mom is a crotcheter, she's really good, too! Those things are little coasters. They start as a yarn ball, then they transform into a happy circle, and then they mutate into little swirly twisty coasters ^^ 

And this here is what my little bro is working on: 

This is his finished police station. Isn't it so creative? I think we have a little builder  on our hands ;) 

I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!
