..... last year we had a pincushion stitch-a-bit and I received this lovely top:
... and do you remember the lovely wallhanging Toni made for me?
Here it is hanging up in the bathroom .... I keep some nice scented soap in the pocket....
well... there is too many pretty things to look at on the felt top so I decided not to do a pincushion.....
but use Toni's idea for another flower
but use Toni's idea for another flower
now I have one for the other little room where one has time to sit and look at details ...
I have added some scented soap too .....
(made with felted blanket and old denim jeans {which had shrunk!})
You are just full of wonderful ideas. Have a great Sunday! :)
