Felting? Weird? Fun? Cute?

It's ridiculous hot, so I'm thinking about Fall!

I'm also thinking about these fabulous felted acorns =>>

I don't know how to felt (ok, I do but it's tedious). So I have no instructions or tips. I know you can always buy these things on Etsy. Seems like they would be more special if I made them myself, though.

I'm thinking interestingly shaped glass vases of them on the mantle or as tie-ons for super adorable presents (because I totally don't just hand over presents in whatever bag I find first in my attic that doesn't have spiders in it). They would look great scattered around candle bases or in little bowls but I have a cat that steals things so I'll let someone else try that one.

They question: to felt or not to felt? Felting requires so much specialized stuff (ok, just colored loose wool) and I don't like touching wet wool. But have you seen the adorable felting project out there?

From here!!

Look at this little owl! Look at him!

I've also found adorable flowers, sushi, and a light-up toaster!

This may be a hobby I have to consider.
