Felt Friday 4

I'm back with some more felt creations to share with you today. The first of Mum's creations is something I've already sort of shared with you... 

You may remember Mum made these turtles a while ago, along with the cupcakes and poppy badges that I've also shared before?? Well, whilst out shopping a couple of weeks ago we came across some basket bags we both liked. With it apparently being summer we decided to buy them to use for the summer. I wasn't too keen on some of the finishing touches on my bag though, so after a few tweaks here and there, Mum managed to turn her £3 bag into this ....

Whilst my £5 bag became this ... 

The inside of mine doesn't have a lining that seals, but a little clasp instead. It seemed a little boring sat on it's own, so Mum's even managed to add a little flower to the clasp too ... 

You can just about see it in this photo without me showing you what rubbish I've filled my bag with!!

They're not bad for a cheap bag are they?!

Onto new things then??? Mum's always reading books. So I guess it was inevitable that she'd eventually make these ... 

Nope, they're not badges this time, they're bookmarks... 

As you can see, they sit at the bottom of the page to keep you from losing where you are...

They even sit inside the book once you've marked your page so it doesn't get damaged!!

She's getting far too clever is Mum!

Hello, how are you all? I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I thought I'd surprise everyone and make an early post today to report on a bit of a problem I've uncovered... you see late last night (and by late I mean after 10pm!) Mum was still sat on the sofa stitching away. Having just finished typing yesterday's blog post I decided to put the kettle on. I went to the kitchen, made the tea and carried it to the lounge to sit with Mum.

This was when my problem began. You see, as I sat there jibber jabbering on about something or nothing Mum decided she was far too busy stitching to listen to me!! I even pointed out to her she wasn't listening, which was when she apologised for not listening and told me to continue chatting. But she bloomin did it again!! I asked a question twice and the answer I got back twice was this ... "do they look too pale?" ... Ooo yep once again she wasn't listening!! So I've now become an orphan and all because of felt!! Ok, I'll admit being an orphan might be a bit of an exaggeration, but when you get more sense out of the cat than you do your Mum you realise something's wrong!!

I will admit though that becoming an orphan to felt might actually not be so bad! Especially when you get pretty things like this ...

Cute isn't he? It's a cupcake keyring made from felt all hand stitched by Mum for Crusty...purple's her favourite colour!

and this one is mine, because teal/turquoise is my favourite colour ...

this one it Lady's .... guess what? Ooo yep, pink's her favourite colour!! 

Aaah see Mum had to be different! She's stitched herself a little turtle or tortoise (not sure what the difference is! and he's green as it's Mum's favourite colour...

Then  there's this little cupcake family! I'm not quite so sure about the little ones ... the one at the bottom left of the picture looks a little bit angry to me whilst the one top right looks like a zombie hahaha! These aren't keyrings. They've got a much more important role to play which I'm sure at some point I'll share with you, but for now I'll leave you guessing!! 

and last of all there's ...

yep, another addition to the Hello Kitty range! I'm sure this one will make it's way to little Ellie rather quickly, then again she might just have to wait til her birthday! 

If anyone would like one of these little keyrings, feel free to let us know.
