Toy Box Finished!

Toy Box Fabric finished being Felted

Fabrics l-r, Top of box, side panel, front panel, side panel, and back panel

Drip Drying on the line, they get shipped tomorrow for me to assemble on Friday in San Diego!  Truly a whirlwind for love of felt making, the love of family and the love of fun colorful patterns!

Front panel for Toy Box

 

So CUTE!!  (this piece is unfelted, the colors will tone down when it felts) Stripey bottom as the flower stems, all four sides will be different, and of course the top too...

Stay tuned!

Custom Toy Box

So here goes!  I am just starting the design for a custom felt covered TOY BOX!!  Too Cute!
More photos to come, as I develop the design out more, and it still needs some color.  The top is the piece with the 3 yellow flowers, the front and back are the long pieces, and I am probably going to do bright pink for one side panel and turquoise for the other, totally funky pattern, with a little bit of flowers.

Last year's theme was Alice in Wonderland, this year is the Wizard of OZ, are you wicked or nice? 

My favorites so far from the group are
