And they danced in her hair......

 In the unicorn story the butterflies were dancing among the flowers.... but it seems they danced somewhere else too

 I received lovely videos of Eve opening her birthday parcel and looking at all the pages in her book and this photo, as you can see the butterflies are now dancing in her hair. 

There is plenty of the pretty glitter felt left  so I plan to make some butterfly hair clips as I don't think the wee wooden pegs these butterflies are on will last long. There will be some happy mail going south this week.

 Back soon to share  the latest stitching. 

Keep well and keep safe

THE LITTLE UNICORN

 I have just finished a felt book for Eve's third birthday, I had asked what she was interested in and told unicorns, rainbows and sparkle.....So I made up a story about a little unicorn and created a felt book. This one is a little different as it has story cards hidden in parts of the book to tell the  story line.

Here is the book..........

The little unicorn was looking for his special friend. he went to the forest to ask the animals to help but they were too busy playing hide and seek.

(

There is a bird song record hidden and so the bird sings when 

you open the flap) 

The little unicorn went to the garden to ask the butterflies to help him look for his special friend, but they were too busy dancing in the flowers.

( note some of the butterflies are on small pegs so can be moved from flower to flower.)

The little unicorn went up in the sky to ask the stars to look down and see if they can find his special friend, but they had not come out to shine.

The little unicorn saw a rainbow in the sky and the birds flying nearby  told him to look for a door, so he slid down the rainbow to get back to earth

And yes he found a door nearby................. open the door and see...                                                                             its his special friend.

Behind the door is a photo of Eve so she will know she is the special friend the unicorn is looking for.

Its take ages to put it all together , This Granny has had  lots of a happy stitching time, upset Kaytu while I was getting the bird recording mounted, she could not find the bird!! I will show it off at Guild tonight  and then it will be off in the post tomorrow

 Tonight its back to some serious stitching, Guild project this year is to be Schwalm Embroidery, I have updated a set of workshop notes  and am ready to introduce this traditional technique. Will share on my blog later.
