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*
ReplyDeleteoh 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.
ReplyDeleteTake 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 :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, very lovely! I like how the butterfly is actually a brooch!

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. :)
