In this  post  I've shown you a couple of trees and I've told you that soon I could have revealed you what idea I had for the big tree…. Today is the day!!!!!! In the meantime, I've bought a canvas (60x90cm) on which I laid some pieces of crochet, like …. ….. clouds, raindrops, grass and some old felt friends (look  here !)….. I was playing with them for a while, just to find the right composition… …..and I didn't forget these  little guys , the right ones to complete this woodland scene…. ….but I didn't want to leave the canvas in white, so I decided to use some ochre (it's what I had in my cupboard! I'm not really enthusiast about yellows, but, at the end, this was not a bad choice! Phew!) for the background… ….then….I just wanted to cry!!!! Honestly : do you imagine what does it mean to sew all this stuff on a canvas????? Note that the back wooden frame is quite annoying in projects like ...

I've just used one number..... .....that is OUR number !!!! I think Margot (OUR cat!) could be offended by that..... ;oD xxxx Alessandra

I've traced the letters I needed (inspiration from my Pinterest board  Words )... Then I collected few origami papers.... .....and one oval canvas.... where I laid the cut letters on.... ....and I glued them on.... ....with some colourful pompoms !!!!! This sign is hanging on my personal bookcase in the living room..... ....just to remember myself not to be a lazy reader!!!!! ;oD This is  MY LINK  !!!! xxxx Alessandra

This was an easy thinking! I grabbed an oval canvas (20x30cm) and some acrylic colours, as ochre yellow... ...and some neon pink... ...then, using the template given in  the book , I cut out some daisies from white felt and I chose 3 buttons for the centres... ...with some red cotton thread, I sew both the buttons and the flowers on the canvas... with a simple backstitch and some green thread, I sew later the stems... to finish the ochre vase, I glued a ribbon along the "border"and used it even around the canvas... Last touch? Another ribbon, this time a floral one, on the top back of the "piece of art" (!!!!!), just to hang it somewhere in the house... This is where my  LINK  is!!!! xxxx Alessandra
