Put Together

Now for a quick Lent feature. From last week's Sharing Saturday, Sheila over at Explore and Express shared her Lenten Table including a wonderful felt cross puzzle. I made one for our table. Thank you for the idea, Sheila! Sorry for my bad lighting!

Now for some nice spring thoughts...

I used the patterns and instructions in All Year Round. It is a wonderful book for celebrating the different seasons and holidays. I started with snow drop fairies. I thought this was a good starting point since it is the only flowers we have seen among our brown late winter/early spring.

My Snow Drop Fairies

The Snow Drops We saw at Cape Cod!

Then I made a Crocus Fairy. Again, I followed the directions in the book. I didn't have a good purple or yellow wool felt, so I used some EcoFelt that I had.

Then I did the final idea in the book which is a yellow primrose. (Again using the yellow EcoFelt.)

Then I got creative. I made a Daffodil Fairy. She kind of looks like she should be the queen of the fairies.

And I made a leprechaun using a similar pattern and playing with the hat. I used some wool stuffing for his beard. (After all, Hazel is named after my Irish grandmother.)

I made them for Hazel's nature/seasonal table, but she likes them because she thinks they are finger puppets.
