Here we have a piece of unashamed whimsy that has given me a lot of pleasure this weekend.
The flowers were the most fun; I think I've finally mastered French Knots though I never expect them to hold. And of course you can't have pretty flowers without a little bee - or at least I can't.
The pattern is from The Little House by the Sea and the gloriously soft felt which has so enhanced the entire experience is, of course, from paper-and-string.
Right, I'm off to build myself a felt house.

You continue to wow me with your sewing skills! French knots are my nemesis (well, that and set-in sleeves in knitting)! K x

Can’t wait to see your felt house! These mushroom homes look fabulous!
Lovely toadstool, what great detail that must have taken you awhile.
Just read your comment on Domesticali and it made me laugh as I too now recognise when people are tired and hungry and always look for an explanation as to why they are getting irritated where as before children I would have taken things as all surface and nothing deeper
*that* is so sweet !
