On top of it being basketball season, we are in the thick of football season as well. And for me that means a few more hours a week of crafting while Andrew watches the game.

Recently during games, I’ve started making a garland of little felt balls for our Christmas tree. I’m using the leftover cuttings from when I trimmed down the felt I made a little while back. It takes awhile to make these, and it’s a little messy and makes my hands hurt a little. But it’s still fun nonetheless! I doubt this garland is going to get done before Christmas. Maybe it’ll be done by the next one.

Not sure why they are so fuzzy or if that’s normal, but oh well! I found this tutorial on the Martha Stewart website if you’re interested in trying your hand at it.
