Heart #225
Cute little woodland creatures are popular right now, so I wanted to try a hedgehog on a wool felt scissors fob. He joins the fox and raccoon I made a couple of weeks ago.

Angel
Day #207
Heart #216
Last week, when I posted the "air mail" heart (which featured an envelope with wings), Lime Riot commented that she would like to see one of my wool felt scissors fobs with actual wings on the sides. Great idea! I added an embroidered halo and made it an angel heart.

Butterflies
Day #205
Hearts #213-214
It isn't summer without butterflies, so I made this pair of wool felt scissors fobs with butterflies in two different colors.

Mustache
Day # 203
Heart #212
Mustaches have been a popular theme for a few years, but I have never seen the appeal--until it occurred to me that a mustache might look really funny on a heart! I like the way this one came out; it looks like it is smiling.

I love the "Swap Organizer" felt badge that Sewphie made for me so much that I used her "flying envelope" idea for today's wool felt scissors fob.

Happy House
Day #201
Heart #210
Yesterday, I heard from one of the fob winners; Beth said her fob arrived, and she was surprized at how small it is! I know it can be hard to get an accurate feel for the scale of something in a photograph--sometimes I put a quarter in the picture for that reason. I thought I would show you today's fob with a couple of other ways to help convey an idea of the small size.
Interestingly enough, Beth also gave me the inspiration for today's "happy house" wool felt scissors fob, and it had nothing to do with her message to me. I happened to be looking through the "New Swap Theme Ideas" on Craftster, and Beth (who is StickerChic there) had proposed a "tiny house" swap, with this link to her house board on Pinterest. One look at that board, and I knew what my fob for today would be! Here it is, with regular 8 1/2" sewing scissors:
In the palm of my hand:
All by itself:
This is a happy town where the sky is pink and every house has an apple tree in the yard.

Cute Clothesline and a FAIL
Day #199
Hearts #207-208
A week or two ago, when I was asking for suggestions for these wool felt scissors fobs, my friend Diane (aka fiddlegirl8) mentioned an idea that I had already been toying with--a clothesline! Since we both thought of it, I had to try it. Who knew a clothesline could be so cute?
A tiny t-shirt, blue jeans, and boxers!
Diane also mentioned something else, which is pictured below. I was almost finished making it when I thought "this doesn't look right". My daughter was sitting nearby, so I showed it to her and asked, "What do you think this is?"
She answered: "The letter U?"
No.
"A necklace?"
No.
"Christmas lights?"
NO. *Sigh*
I told her tt's supposed to be a BUNTING. She says she's never heard of a bunting. *Sigh*
Okay, well, I know how it SHOULD look, so I'm going to try again tonight. Come back tomorrow to view my new, improved bunting!!

Woodland Creatures
Day #198
Hearts #205-206
I love all animals, so I wanted to try a few animal faces on these hand sewn, wool felt scissors fobs. I've already done cats, and dogs are coming soon...I'm sure I will think of a few more that would look cute on a heart.

Spiral
Day #195
Heart #204
I have a friend who likes swirls and spirals as design elements, so I made this wool felt scissors fob with her in mind.

O, Canada!
Day #190
Heart #198
Here's the Canadian flag in wool-felt, heart-shaped, scissors-fob form. Yes, the maple leaf was an EXTREME challenge, but I think it came out okay. A little wonky, but okay.
Now, on to my next challenge: a chicken! Waggonswest and I are doing a very small personal swap, and she would like a chicken fob. I'm hoping to come up with a couple of different ones for her to choose from, and I will post them here when they are finished. In the meantime, I have a LOT of other ideas for fobs that I'm eager to get started on (which is great, because I still have a long way to go to get to the end of this challenge!!!)

Snowman in July
Day #189
Heart #197
Yesterday Homerof2, a new friend from Craftster, left a comment, saying she had just read this WHOLE BLOG from January 1st until the present! Then she offered two suggestions for scissors fobs: a snowman, and the Canadian flag. I had actually already sketched a snowman heart in my notebook, so in honor of Homerof2's epic blog-reading session, I got busy and whipped this up:
It felt delightful to work on a snowy heart in the middle of this hot hot summer! Now I am turning my thoughts to the Canadian flag...that maple leaf will be a challenge...

A Little Boat and The Whole Jar
Day #187
Heart #195
I intended to post this two days ago, when I posted all the fobs on my other blog--but I forgot!! So here is the jar of fobs, as promised.
Today I have a little boat scissors fob to show you. As with all these fobs, this is made from wool felt, embroidery floss, sewing thread, baker's twine, polyfill, and imagination!
And now, to show off my pint-size jar FULL of scissors fobs! How many are in here, you ask? The only person who ventured a guess was Diane (aka fiddlegirl8); she guessed 44...the actual number is...34!

Layered Hearts
Day #177
Hearts #160-162
Here are three more heart-shaped, wool-felt scissors fobs. The layers of color make them pretty, especially in a group like this!

Sewing Machine
Day #175
Heart #158
Pink is one of my favorite colors, but it can be tricky to get it right...which is probably why I haven't seen any all-pink sewing machines. I thought I would try out a pink sewing machine in felt--and I think it looks cute--as a scissors fob, anyway! (Now that I see these pictures, I think it might have looked better on a light-colored backgrouond. You may see "Sewing Machine #2" tomorrow!)
Yesterday, on my other blog (Leslie's Art and Sew) I did a review of the baker's twine I'm using in these fobs, and the store it came from. Click on the name of the blog, above, if you would like to read it.

Apple Tree
Day #172
Heart #155
I'm currently working on a big batch of hearts that will get me all caught up on my numbers for this challenge--yay! They should be done within the week, and in the meantime, I continue to enjoy making one small, heart-shaped, wool-felt scissors-fob every evening. I made this apple tree last night:
