Something a bit different

While in Australia Lee and John of Yadeno Fibercraft made me some hand made felt fabric...it's handmade felt with a cotton backing which is wonderful to make a felt doll with...and then they made me some small bits to embellish her with...I knew right away what she would look like...so finally I am finished with her...it will be an exclusive pattern only thru Yadeno Fibercraft
yadeno@halenet.com.au or thru me...these are horrid pictures BUT my new camera well my new/old camera is on it's way and you can bet I will have better pictures next week...but had to share I thought she was fun and wow what fun to embellish with a felting needle instead of glue or needle and thread...
