flower fairy

Testing another pattern for Kristen, here’s my second (and last) little fairy – she’s a bit shy though: Ahh, here she is! I’m really pleased with her hair: I unravelled the plies of worsted weight yarn so it would be fine and fluffy and curly: It was fun to try out someone else’s patterns for […]

The mole is a different kind of fuzzy… I used chenille yarn so he feels very velvety and mole-ish. UPDATE: […]
