Here are some little needle felted acorns that I made. I first saw this idea over at Betz White and have since seen lots on Etsy. I had trouble getting the tips to be properly pointed, but these will likely just be tossed around our house anyway. Maybe we’ll come up with an acorn game. I collected a large bag of acorns and acorn tops in North Carolina a few weeks ago, so you might be seeing more acorn projects later this week.

Check out the winners from the baby quilt contest at Make Baby Stuff. There were some great entries and I was thrilled to be a judge. Take a look for some quilty inspiration. The winning entry (pictured above) is called Counting Sheep, made by Gina from Kansas. I love the sweet little embroidered sheep.
