Magical butterfly

I've been trying to make this butterfly for ages but couldn't seem to get her pattern right with cut out bits of felt. I put it aside for a few days and when I came back to it inspiration hit! Embroidery was a great success, and adding sequins gave her the right amount of sparkle! All in all, a good make!
More felt goodness soon,

Lovely felt creatures!

I've been having a go at some more feltie designing this week. Started out by making a cute tortoise in green and brown, then made a penguin in a hat to keep him company! The penguin might have to be named Indiana Penguin. :-)

Knitting mayhem

So, my lovely cable knitting is going well! I'm on the last big bit now, done the back, both sleeves and the left front! Just doing the right front now so hopefully it will be done by the autumn. Really pleased with it.

Jumbo flower

Can you spot the elephant in the flower? I couldn't resist this cute elephant print fabric contrasting with the delicate flower print, and think that spotting the elephant in the flower is a fab touch!
I used bondaweb to join the two fabrics together, and the pattern came from the liberty sewing book.
More Jumbo fun soon,
