Mushroom crazy

I think I might be going a bit mushroom crazy.
Maybe it's because it's cold and damp.
Maybe it's because I have been having them in almost every meal this week.

Whatever it is, I'm liking the look of them. However, the kind i like the look of are the ones that fairies live in. The one's that don't actually exist.


I'm also going a bit felt crazy. After my recent swap, I am loving using it. Its so easy to use. No fraying, no neatness needed (perfect for me).

I have had these handbag clasps laying about for ages and was wondering what to do with them, so this was a bit of an experiment. It's not finished yet, but here's a glimpse anyway.
I'm thinking of getting a chain handle that clips on and clips off. (Anyone know where i can get them?)
The clasp opens and there is another mini purse attached inside. I still haven't got the hang of these clasps with the glueing but I'm sure it will come to me in time!
I felt it needed something else. Less is more is not a concept i use often.

So I thought I would make a charm to hang off of it. This is my effort! It's abuot 5cm high.
I think it's too big though. So maybe it will be a keyring. Or maybe a pin cushion. or maybe I will use it as a charm.
As always, I can never decide on which one to do!
Also on the mushroom front, I'm a bit in love with these. So cute. (Click on the pic for the link to them on Etsy)

Bye for now x

Hello Lou,
Great to hear from you.
Your handbag purse is wonderful. I love the fairy mushrooms myself.
By the way the Manchester Mania Fair is this coming weekend. It sounds like it could be worthwhile going to.

Mushroom fairies...those are the best. I have seen them in fairy books. Your mushrooms look very much like those, so cute and practical in the purse.
