Life Cycle in Felt 2

I made another life cycle set with felt. I already had made a frog, which is a puppet... The first portion of the cycle, the frog eggs, are a bundle of beads on felt leaves. Then tadpole, then tadpole with back legs, young frog with tail stump, then adult. (view my butterfly life cycle here)

First Felt-ustration: Farm

I've always wanted to make an illustration using felt. I completed one for my nephew's nursery! His room has a John Deere Baby theme.
It was fun!

Hallway Pattern

I've planned on making this pattern on my hallway walls and finally did it!
A couple years ago I scoured Lowes for stencils and/or stamps that I had in mind and these were the only two I liked. Didn't know how I would end up using one or both. Figured out that they nested into each other a bit.
Viola! Ambitious is a better word than crazy. (finally got baseboard too, yippee!)

Felt Critters continued

made some more: a chipmunk, requested to go with the squirrel :)
and chicks for the girls' Easter baskets (those are dangly thread legs haha)

Here's some critters I've been making to satisfy my creative bone!

Light house bathroom

I re-decorated the bathroom...
after! lighthouse soap, trash, even toiletbrush!
Love the lighthouse curtain hooks. I have a good place for mister Otter now too.
Here is one of the wall art I stuck to the wall (just cut cardstock, glued on, painted over)...
another shell on wall and lighthouse toothbrush holder...
more shells on wall above sink and all over...
in that frame (above) is this that I made (below)...
we're very happy with it all.
