Ever just felt the need....?

Over at Bubbly Scrumptious this month the challenge is to make a felt bird.

I immediately said I was up for this because I just happen to have a wee collection of felt (I made felt hearts for my wedding favours). So I searched the net and came across Elly's blog myeverydaythings which I featured on Inspirational last week. I browsed around some etsy sites and decided these were my favourite style. I liked that I could use material too.

I knew then what had to be done...........Georgia had a hanging frame in need of a little TLC and the birds needed a perch!! So I combined my Laura Ashley fabric and some Tilda cut outs to match her bedroom.

I sketched a template to use as a pattern and spent an evening in with Gorden Ramsey whilst sewing them together!! It made a nice change to sit down and craft I get such tired feet standing all day and all evening.

I used Making Memories notelet paper for the background of the birdhouse side, and kept the Lovebirds side plain. A little bit of lace and some old and new buttons. Done ...(as Gorden would say!!)

So if you fancy joining in the challenge or just want some inspiration then click HERE for a bit of fun.

Love and a new felt fixation
