I came up with my ReMarthable idea when I was watching the Martha Stewart Show a couple years ago when Jennifer B.Lee was on explaining the origins of fortune cookies. I make Japanese inspired crafts, sushi baby booties, and sushi ornaments. I wanted to keep with the Japanese theme, so when I heard on the show that fortune cookies originated in Japan, a light clicked on and Fortune cookie booties were born! They are made from a simple kimono style pattern, very easy to demonstrate. The fortunes are made from printable canvas, I have made these from brown re-purposed sweaters or fleece. I also make adult sizes.
I can't remember when I wasn't a Martha fan and yes I've been called Martha by my friends. With the exception of a few I have all the MS magazines from October 2000 and I refer back to them on occasion. Of all the Martha crafts I was most inspired by a couple of cute little animals in the 2009 Christmas magazine, page 187. An adorable little needle felted penguin and polar bear caught my eye. My first penguin and polar bear looked much like the ones in the magazine. Well...a year later I'm still felting and each piece is more challenging and rewarding. I think my Polar Bear has improved.
