Ballerina in a box!

Today's needle felted project is a little Ballerina Box.

All little ballerina's need a place to relax and unwind, don't they lol??

I decorated the front using some old papers from my stash

which were ballerina themed. I added the letter A as this will be for

my Granddaughter Aimee in a few years time lol.

And here she is. I haven't named her yet but

I will keep her safe until my Granddaughter is old enough to have her.

Needle felted toys are really not toys but more keepsakes.

As you can see I made a little mattress from pink felt

and sewed a little gingham pillow with added stuffing

to keep her comfortable.

But as it is winter I thought she needed a little blanket too

to keep her warm so I crocheted up one in colourful wool.

I had the tin in my stash for a long time and she just fitted it perfectly.

It has been decorated up using some very old papers from my stash

and I stamped a little sentiment on the inside using a stamp

from a set called Part of my Story (SU).

I would like to enter this into

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
