Maybe it's not another craft phase?

So I tried out Ms. Felt Cuisine's pattern for strawberries and was surprised at how easy it was. I spent the most time trying to keep track of my thread that kept going missing. (I was sitting on the couch "watching" tv.) I ended up making 4! I can't wait to give them to Babybear. I attempted to take photos, but I couldn't get the lighting correct. I did make one alteration. Ms. Felt Cuisine used tan thread for the seeds, I went with the traditional black.

But now that I know that this isn't going to be a craft phase, I think I'm going to go ahead and contact various online companies about getting the wool felt so I can be all ready. I'm not sure I can wait for this book. I want to order this pattern by buggabugs on etsy, but don't want to if it's already in my book...... dilemmas. Maybe I'll just get one of them?

On a second note, I wanted to share a review about a new product. This company, flipclips, transfers your video clips into a flip book. It's ingenious. When you sign up, they give you a promo code that is equal to the price of a small flip book. I was a little skeptical b/c I wasn't sure how great the quality of the book would be because most of my digital clips were from my 5.0 mp camera.

They were well organized and I liked that they used USPS. I also received the book much faster than what they had originally estimated, which is always a pleasant surprise.

But the best part was that I was very impressed with the quality of the book. I chose a video of Babybear giving me his first flower on a playdate that I got to go to at the local apple orchard. It was the first time Babybear had ever given me a "flower" AKA dandelion and I was fortunate enough to have been recording it when he did it.

My sister got married last fall and there are some video clips that I plan to be converting into flip books for stocking stuffers this Christmas.
