I would have died of happiness if someone had made me these when I was little. My Nan had made me a lovely handmade doll with little hand sewn accessories when I was about six and it was the most incredible thing I'd ever seen.

They're beautiful Lupin- I may well ask for this for Christmas x

Bugs and Fishes said...

What a lovely thing to say! Thanks so much xx

I hope you'll enjoy the book if you get it for Christmas :)

I have just bought your book and i adore everything in it. I am currently making a Mobile with a butterfly, hedgehog, owl, squirel and rabbit on it. Just need to make a tree, a couple of flowers and put it all together.
You are a very talented lady. Do you intend on bringing out any more books?

Bugs and Fishes said...

Thanks so much for your comment! I'm so glad you're enjoying the book & the mobile sounds fab :)

I'm not working on any new books of my own at the moment (though I am contributing to a few) but who knows what the future will bring! x

I have your book & have made several animals for my grandson. He loves each one & frequently will request a 'family'. I really appreciate the easy to follow directions & pointers. Thanks for the free patterns. A grandma can never have too many felt patterns on hand.

Bugs and Fishes said...

npfoto - thanks for your comment! It's lovely to hear that you've been making things from my book and I'm so glad you've found the projects easy to follow :)

Happy stitching!

Suzan said...

I purchased your book and love it! It has provided many memorable afternoons with my granddaughter as we have worked together to create her shoebox of delightful little creatures. However, the other day she sadly pointed out that we had no monkey (her favorite). Do you have a monkey pattern which is size appropriate for all of the other little animals. If so, we would love it. Thanks again for the wonderful book!

Bugs and Fishes said...

Hi Suzan - thanks for your comment, it's always lovely to hear from people who have been sewing things from my books :) I'm afraid I haven't got a monkey pattern & am not currently planning one, perhaps you will be able to find one shared on another blog or for sale on a site like Etsy?

Perfeitos! Coisas mais lindinhas! Parabéns! Que delicadeza...aqui no Brasil - Rio de Janeiro, somos tão corridos e as pessoas não tem muito tempo de parar pra fazer isso...eu AMO. Vou tentar fazer para minhas netas de 13 e 11 anos em forma de chaveiro. Bj

Thanks Kathia! I hope your granddaughters will like their keyrings xx

Penny said...

have recently bought your book and am busy making a mobile for my grandchild. Your book is lovely.I would highly recommend it. Thank you.

Bugs and Fishes said...

Thanks for your comment, Penny! It's great to hear you're enjoying the book :)

Kathleen said...

These felt items are adorable! Thank you for sharing how to make them. Can I ask, what type of felt do you use and where do you get your felt?

Bugs and Fishes said...

Thanks for your comment, Kathy! I use lots of different types of craft felt (from 100% acrylic to 100% wool felt), bought from both local and online stores - I love having a wide selection of different types and colours to choose from for my projects :)
