I always wanted to learn how to needle felt and it always seemed very hard. A few days ago, I finally got some books from the library, needle, wool and made my first attempt. It was so easy and so much fun. My first project is a playscape for D. It's not perfect of course and I got the wrong material for base and foam is wrong (it makes strands of wool come out), the tree is having a hard time staying upright...but I'm really happy with the result and, most importantly, D. loves his new present very much. I have to think about a toddler friendly project for C. now.
Birdie and bunny are not attached, veggies and mushrooms can be moved I suppose, although I'd rather he didn't pull too hard on them :))
