I really want to add some toadstools to my next range for Etsy. 'Pink' has been on hold as the fabric I have on order hasn't arrived yet, so working with what I already have in my stash, I came up with the idea of adding a butterfly.
In addition to the buttons on the top, I've embroidered seeding and some french knots,
and used part of a thrifted crochet doilie (or is it doily?, how do you spell that word?!) to add decoration to the stalk.
The butterfly is actually a brooch and is removable!

beautiful... its really lovely.. and I love the new Title Image too! I would join your swap but my sewing is not up to it.. I could probably draw or paint a toadstool though... *ponders the thought*
oh and love the use of the doily too!
Lovely new header, and gorgeous toadstool-and-butterfly combination. If I didn't have the current stresses, I'd definitely be in your swap ... hopefully you'll do another in future.
Take care. x
That's lovely! One day I will pluck up the courage to make a 3D thing but I doubt it would be as pretty :)
Oooh, very lovely! I like how the butterfly is actually a brooch!

Love the toadstool! So muh that I signed up for your swap, my first swap! hope I can come up with something as lovely as yours! :)
I'm not sure about the spelling but the doily is a nice touch. Lovely!
LK - I love the fabric on this one. Very 'vintage' looking. Plus, the butterfly is a lovely touch.
I'm still not a big fungus fan though ;-p
What an adorable toadstool. I love the butterfly. I was just wondering if the sign up date in this post is a typo at June 16th since the previous post has May 16th as the signup due date. I'm already signed up, but I was just wondering. :)
eeek!, yes it is a typo, thanks for spotting it, should have said may not june!!!
have corrected it now : )
Your new toadstool is gorgeous - love the butterfly brooch! I would have loved to join in the swap but just have too much on at the moment - hope it goes really well! Lucy x
I really love that, shame I won't have the time to join the swap.
Ah well.

I am in the swap, aren't I??? panic panic. You know I can't resist a swap. Must practise toadstools this week. Oh, and that one is lovely - the brooch is a great touch (ponders on clever additions to toadstool....)
Beautiful! Love the added butterfly.
