Flowery Bags

Hello!

Remember a wee while ago I was crocheting flowers in May and then wondering what to do with them? Well, I thought of something! Little wet-felted bucket bags embellished with some needle-felted leaves and stems and then a profusion of crochet blooms stitched on. I like it!

It was a really, really sunny day today, so the photo is a little bleached out, sorry. I hope you can get the whole joie de vivre of the little bags anyway. And one of these days I'll learn to do photography.

The needle-felting was done with the aid of a fancy brush sort of felting mat and a four-needle tool from Clover which made it very quick and easy. I made up the shapes as I went along, being quite familiar with needle-felting already, but I can see that it would be a splendid way of attaching pre-cut felt shapes to a background, and an absolute doddle to do. I must experiment further - perhaps I should try making a picture of some sort, or little applique pieces to make into greetings cards maybe.

Anyway, I hope you all had a lovely sunny day too and were able to get outside and enjoy it.
