Smile c&s rose bud flower child

My first attempt at a flower child german style! i like her. but man, these take a LOT more fabric than the wee bendies.... and i'm so used to that scale. i still haven't found a good source for wool blend felt.

Dear Mom and Dad- I may parent differently than you did. This does not mean that I think you did it "wrong." However, it also does not mean I am doing it wrong.

thanks, mama. i found thesliverpenny.com bundles 32 colors of 18x12 inches for $40. not a great deal, but is it 60/40 like i want. i will keep looking, though! i called all three joann, michaels, and beverly's yesterday and they don't have much at all. most wool contest is 35% but most of the colors they have are 20% wool. i will look in those stickies!

Very cute "blumenkind". Can't remember what that means but I see them called that on German ebay.

Keep up the nice work.

Are you going to put her on ebay?
