Even though I get tired of making similar things in the end each set of booties ends up being just different enough to keep me going and making more of them.This set is still available right now in my Etsy shop:https://bitsoffiber.etsy.com/listing/Bits of Fiberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13101391676297068068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668860806053188211.post-48416563303095020722026-10-01T17:34:15.008-04:002026-10-01T17:34:15.008-04:00Tired of toadstools Toadstools have been around in the arts and craft world for a very long time. I started making these baby booties needle felting the toadstools and embroidering some other stuff on the booties. They were a hit so I've kept on making them but some days I just get tired of constantly making similar stuff so I've been switching back and forth between toadstools and little flowers.&Bits of Fiberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13101391676297068068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668860806053188211.post-3618475928102819582026-09-22T08:02:42.056-04:002026-09-22T08:02:42.056-04:00Pumpkin Flower Cake Oh yeahhhhh, I love making these flower pumpkin cakes.

What is Momigami?It is using paper and turning it into what feels like fabric. You knead the paper and if you do it the traditional Japanese way you use Konnyaku startch to strengthen the fabric-like paper.
