I love crochetville. I just found it recently, and there are some really wonderful ideas. One of my favorites so far is the flower closure idea:
The center of the flower acts as a button! I wish I thought of it!
I got this needle felting kit for Christmas, but I haven’t had time to try it out. The instructions look very thorough, and two people have used a similar kit with adorable results. My mom liked the kit so much that she bought one without the book (we’ll share). When I go home to visit we plan on doing some needle felting. I love having a crafty mom!
