Scrunchy!

Ahoy there!

I'm back for a while with just a little something I would like to share with you. I've been feeling anything BUT creative lately, so I dumped the crafty stuff for a while.

So there's this girl I met the other day, her name is Rosie and she's 12. I thought she was sweet and wanted to give something to her, so I tried to think what I could make for her. And then I came home and I searched through my craft box (yes I have a craft box!) but couldn't find anything that would probably do.

See the thing is, that I always want my stuff to be useful; and I can't make anything unless I know its exact purpose. So "just this little something" couldn't do for me.

And there I was with this strange piece of purple fabric and a bunch of different coloured felt pieces. I had no beads to make any jewellery, no fabric enough to make anything bigger, so I thought and I thought and then it suddenly hit me...

Scrunchy!


Yes, I could make a scrunchy!

So I started sewing. And then I cut out little flowers from the colourful felt and glued them to the scrunchy. And voila!


To be honest, I was inspired by Lupin's flower brooches and particularly by the forget-me-nots:


So I started out with the desire to do felt flowers.


And then it suddenly turned into a scrunchy!


! And here's the lovely gift I gave Mona for her birthday:


I gotta start writing less and crafting more.

C'ya!
