It’s been quite motivational for me to write down my WIPS and join various swapping sites (which then forces me to finish things I’ve started). This one wasn’t on my WIP list because I hadn’t even started it when I wrote that list. How good am I to have started and finished something in the same week!!!!

I am pretty sure felt will become my new favourite sewing medium…it’s just too easy to make nice things without having to worry about seams and straight lines and all that other stuff that I can’t do.
