Crafting *fail*
So yesterday I was feeling like *making stuff*, and I made Bella a little shopping bag for her kitchen/cash register experience. Mostly I wanted to practice putting felt pieces together in anticipation of the felt block I’m working on. I used colors of felt I happened to have handy, and blanket stitched it (not well, but I did blanket stitch!) up.
Then, last night after Bella went to sleep, I was inspired to try my hand at painting little wooden dolls. I was inspired by lovely little dolls like these, or this one.
You can see here, the first one I did is on the left with the oddly blobby eyes. I never claimed to be good at this!
But I must say I didn’t expect all of this to be rejected out of hand by their recipient. She said she just “doesn’t like” the little green shopping bag, and the dolls are “bad and angry.”
Back to the drawing board!
