This is the toadstool I have made for Jill my swap partner in the Lucykate Crafts Toadstool Swap.
This has been my incentive for getting this blog up and running I thought I might just do it with a bit of a fanfare.
I used a felted blanket which is probably about 50 years old. and it has worked beautifully for this project - I thought it might be too stiff to use but as it you handle it it softens.
I have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in my first swap. If you know of any others that are current and still open can you please let me know, because even though I seem to spend a LOT of time in Blogland, I haven't come across any other swaps to participate in.
Oooh it is just so LOVELY Nita! All the little details make it just perfect. My kids are dying to have it but it's just for me, lol. I will treasure it.
ReplyDeleteI kept looking at the felt you used for the toadstool and admiring its quality - now I know why it is so lovely! I keep stroking it, it's so soft.
Lovely toadstool! Welcome to blogland - there is no excape now...!
ReplyDeleteSuzanne - there was no escape before I took the plunge, so I came up with the theory 'if you can't beat 'em.............'!!! Nice to meet a fellow Libran.
