Mushrooms

Ever since I was given a complete color set of wool rowing for my birthday, I have been eager to try needle felting. I never could find good instructions anywhere, so I decided to make something simple and just figure it out along the way. Mushrooms, I thought, would be very useful. They can be used on Fall nature table, for gnome's house or in a play kitchen. And so these mushroom came to be. It was pretty simple and Kitten loved them, after I made one she grabbed it and said "More!" So I made more. I think they are quite realistic (even the size, they are about 1.5 - 2 inches tall) and they have been used extensively in our kitchen play.

  4. Excellent mushrooms!! Very realistic! The plate with food looks so mouthwatering! (and I JUST ate too! Hmm, maybe I am still hungry) Such a "dacha" look, with the simple food, metal mug and plaid napkin, I love it!

  5. Oxana, Elena, thanks, girls! Elena, I saw your comment before you removed it, by mistake, I am sure :) I know your addiction to mushrooms! Kitten can say "giby", she can repeat almost any word now. I see I will have to cook something with mushrooms when you guys are over here :)
