It was always going to happen. As soon as I'd made one little felt house picture my mental wheels started churning and I realised I needed to make my own design.
Not terribly original - mushroomy elf and mouse houses abound in blogland and beyond - but I am pleased to have conjured this out of my head and rendered it in felt and thread.
Now I need to try to translate some of the other silly images I have into reality. I have some outrageously glittery felt that is screaming out for festive treatment ...
Sweet! And the possibilities of glittery felt are endless...
ReplyDeleteThat is really lovely. I like the detail for the mushroom gills. I used to love picture books with those kind of magical mushroom houses in.(when I was small you understand)
ReplyDeleteI love this - so colourful! I easpecially love the bee. Can't wait to see what else you conjure up.
ReplyDeleteI can spell 'especially', honest!
ReplyDeleteHow satisfying to have completed your own design. It's very pretty and I'm sure there must be a fairy or two hiding inside!
ReplyDeletethat is sooo lovely!

Personally I don't think you can ever have enough mushroom houses.
ReplyDeleteOooooh!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I think it's nicer than the house one. I mean that in a nice way! xx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! You just can't beat little mushroomy elf houses :)

That is one very cute mushroom house! Love that litle bee.
ReplyDeleteI think that is stunning, you need to keep them all in hoops and hang them on the wall. How fantastic. It would also look fab on the side of a tea cosy too
ReplyDeleteOh! Oh! Oh! Completely magical. And yet rather depressing, because while I think I might be able to duplicate the other one, there is no way I could do anything as cool as this one. *Sigh* You're a genius among crafters, you are.
ReplyDeleteOh Val! That is gorgeous! And you can never have too many toadstool houses!!!

ReplyDeleteHow lovely :)
ReplyDeleteKeep making them, they are wonderfully smile inducing

Oh it's so lovely! Do you remember I said I had a little logo design thingy that I wanted to create like your felt houses? Well, it's all mushroomy like this one! The mushroom house forms the 'T' of Tom. I really should get it done!
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable and fits in perfectly with the fairy house image I have of you. I love all the pretty flowers too!
ReplyDeleteYour felt picture is delightful, i've never thought of using it that way. Can't wait to see what you do with the glitter felt. Jane x
ReplyDeleteSo pretty - I'm looking forward to the festive version now!
ReplyDeleteoh oh I love these little pictures, they remind me of my bedside light when I was a child, beautiful work...
ReplyDeleteLove it! Well done! Can't wait to see your festive version.

oooh love it xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteVery clever!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little mouse house!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, oh yes it ticks all the boxes with lovely shiny ticks. I love it. The colour combos of those flowers are my favourite and my best.
ReplyDeleteA very sweet DC little mouse house!
ReplyDeleteWow! So covet this. What a fabulous original. Love, love, love the mushroom house! I'm very impressed.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
PS-Even though I hate to admit it, I agree with CL. You can never have too many mushroom houses.
that's so lovely Val - the perfect residence for a hardworking woodland elf - I love all of the little details.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it... it is sooo sweet, so charming! Your design is terrific... I would love be a fairy and live in a mushroom house like that in my next life. ;o) WONDERFUL work, my friend. Happy Days ((HUGS)) P.S. my spice cake I features is great as little iced cupcakes...
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little house - it is just like a picture from my childhood1 I used to write stories about that house! Very glad to have discovered your blog.

But they abound because they are so darn cute. That is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteQuite lovely!
ReplyDeleteI had to peep back at this again. I think my last comment must have been lost in the ether! I did post one, honest!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful. Very very buyable!!! I think I said in my lost comment that those flower colours are my favourite and my best. Oh yes.
Oh! It is there - my little shell's gone all funny so I couldn't see it. What a dunce (slinks off to put on pointy dunce hat).
ReplyDeleteoh thats so sweet!
ReplyDeletei have wanted to do one for a while but i am very slow at getting round projects right now lol!
