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.
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.
