Felt Heaven!

I have developed an obsession with felt recently that has not been helped by my finding a rather large stash of felt scraps I never knew I had! Felt is so easy to work with and can give you pretty quick results as there is no fraying or hiding of raw edges to worry about. You can buy felt in a very wide range of colours, sizes and qualities and it's relatively cheap if you're just starting out on something small. The cheapest felt is also the poorest quality so beware of the really thin, scratchy stuff that you can buy readily on the high street. You don't need to spend too much more to get a felt that is of decent enough quality to use in craft projects big and small. This leads me to my most recent craft adventure making this super cute toadstool pincushion...

I had a lot of fun making this and it was a reasonably quick make. I'm hoping to adapt this basic design perhaps with the addition of white buttons instead of the white felt toadstool spots. I'm also going to try it on a larger scale with a green felt base to make it look like its growing out of grass, like I said...super cute! : )
