these little toadstools just appeared one day almost as if they thought the terrariums looked like a nice place to live. they're so wee and cute...i also loved the way the condensation was sitting on the glass...yup, random.
handmade from felted, repurposed wool sweaters. this soft toadstool stands about 4 1/4" tall and is 4" wide. it is lovingly sewn by both hand and machine and stuffed firm with 100% sheeps wool, and weighted with dried beans.
perfect for a woodland display, nature table or gentle play.
"Under a toadstool crept a wee Elf,
Out of the rain to shelter himself.
Under the toadstool, sound asleep,
Sat a big Dormouse all in a heap.
Trembled the wee Elf, frightened and yet
Fearing to fly away lest he get wet.
To the next shelter—maybe a mile!
Sudden the wee Elf smiled a wee smile.
Tugged till the toadstool toppled in two.
Holding it over him, gaily he flew.
Soon he was safe home, dry as could be.
Soon woke the Dormouse—"Good gracious me!
"Where is my toadstool?" loud he lamented.
—And that's how umbrellas first were invented."
~ Oliver Herford, 1863-1935 ~
Product of all the rain. Wish there were a way to tell if they're edible. Probably delicious poison.
I made this blanket for my daughter as part of the Monthly Make run by Annie over at the Felt Fairy - thefeltfairyuk.blogspot.com
I put it together from a pattern that the very talented Joanie at Ninimakes was kind enough to email me.
Her lovely blog is:
I made one of these toadstool bookmarks and fell in love with the image...so I made a bunch more!

This is a new simplified version of the original toadstool pincushion which I sent to a friend as part of a swap in 2007. You can see the original pincushion here.

A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, and earth pyramid) is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland. Hoodoos consist of soft sedimentary rock topped by harder, less easily-eroded stone that protects each column from the elements.
They are mainly located in the desert in dry, hot areas. In common usage, the difference between hoodoos and pinnacles or spires is that hoodoos have a variable thickness often described as having a "totem pole-shaped body." A spire, on the other hand, has a smoother profile or uniform thickness that tapers from the ground upward. (Geology purists do note that only a tall formation should be called a hoodoo; any other shape is called a 'hoodoo rock'.)
Hoodoos range in size from that of an average human to heights exceeding a 10-story building. Hoodoo shapes are affected by the erosional patterns of alternating hard and softer rock layers. Minerals deposited within different rock types cause hoodoos to have different colors throughout their height.
