Happy Thanksgiving ! Crochet toadstool red mushroom

Happy Thanksgiving! I am so grateful for the many blessings in my life, my family and friends are my biggest treasure! Here is a little toadstool red mushroom to keep you company or to try this long weekend. It only took me an hour or so from beginning to end. I used DMC embroidery tread instead of regular yarn, I like the look and feel of embroidery thread, no fussy finish. This is the blog that inspired me

Camera Strap Cover - matryoshka fabric

Completed this cute camera strap cover for my friend Mily! I hope she likes it!

Russian Dolls - Matriushkas - Babushkas

I have always admired Russian dolls, they are so beautiful!  I was inspired by Lucy’s  Cute & Easy Crochet Babushkas and was frantically looking for a pattern when I bumped into Jacquies’s (Bunny Mummy) Baby Bunny Tutorial

I thought, what if I turn the bunny upside down, and remove the ears? I have the perfect shape for my matriushka !!!

For the face I used white and yellow felt and stitched her eyes and mouth. They look so happy next to their wooden siblings (thanks Marta for such a beautiful and thoughtful birthday gift!!).
