Some New Inspiration

After wandering a few local childrens stores, I have been inspired to create my own mobiles. This is the first one I have made, I made the little Butterfly and Drangonfly myself using wire and glass beads. I also made the Peonie flower using lemon felt and a glass bead. Thanks to Yeonie for her template. There are some glass beads dangling next to the Peonie which are a bit hard to see. I still feel like something is missing but I cna't figure out what but I also don't want to have too many things on it making it look bitsy.

I was also thinking I could made some with little fabric birds perched in the hoop.

I think these would look great and be very eye catching all hanging from my market stall.

I feel like I am getting RSI from making so many beanies, so I am taking a break and making lots of little beaded Butterflies and Drangonflies for the mobiles.

The progress so far...

I have gone a little beanie making crazy over the last week and already have bought about 50 plus balls of wall and about 12 beanies already made.

I have started making cute felt flowers as brooches that can be added to the beanies or dresses.

Tomorrow, mum and I are going to collect crates and crates of fabric from my uncles house which my late aunt had collected and hoarded in 2 of the rooms in their house over the last 50 years or so. Mum checked out her stash a few weeks ago and was amazed at the stunning fabrics she had and never used. I am excited to go through this goldmine of fabric but also wondering where on earth I am going to keep it all!
