I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;ll be back to it but it&#8217;s fine for now since I&#8217;ve moved on from making faking felt food for her. I&#8217;ve joined a couple of felt related swaps on swap-bot and have become obsessed with looking for free patterns and tutorials for making things with them on the internet. Here is what I found but before I post them, here were the last couple of things I made for Sienna!<\/p>\n<p>a frying pan from one of the patterns I bought from Gulf Coast Cottage on Etsy (I didn&#8217;t get around to the spatula yet!) and it actually fits this crochet fried egg I got from a tawashi swap (which I couldn&#8217;t find at the moment I was taking this photo.) The actual pan part is a bit heavy for the handle but oh well.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/fryingpan500.jpg\" alt=\"fryingpan500.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And the bagel I&#8217;ve spoken about<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/bagelside500.jpg\" alt=\"bagelside500.jpg\" \/><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/bagelinside500.jpg\" alt=\"bagelinside500.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And here are the swaps (if you happen to be my partner, don&#8217;t peak! I just mailed these out today!)<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/birdornament500.jpg\" alt=\"birdornament500.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThis is for the fall felt fun swap. My partner likes birds and the color blue so I thought this was perfect. From <a href=\"http:\/\/zakkalife.blogspot.com\/2008\/12\/craft-project-felt-bird-cage-ornament.html\" target=\"_blank\">Zakka life<\/a>. I also included one of the fall ornaments posted below.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/buttonsbrooch500.jpg\" alt=\"buttonsbrooch500.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nButtons Brooch swap for my partner whose favorite color is purple. It came out a little lopsided but I still thought it was cute. The pattern is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livingcreatively.com.au\/projects\/create_now_project.php?v=160\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. I totally forgot to use pinking shears to cut out the base heart but I love how the blanket stitch looks. I also included this brooch as an extra!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/peonybrooch500.jpg\" alt=\"peonybrooch500.jpg\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/peonybrooch500.jpg\" title=\"peonybrooch500.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a>The pattern for this is <a href=\"http:\/\/yoonie-at-home.blogspot.com\/2008\/09\/peony-flower-felt-clip-tutorial.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and she makes it as a hair clip.<\/p>\n<p>Some misc. fall ornaments from a pattern set I bought from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prairiepointjunction.com\/woolfeltcentral.html\" target=\"_blank\">Prairie Point Junction<\/a>. I probably could have done them on my own but at least I have a bunch of templates on hand. I bought Fall, Winter and Spring themes.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/fallornaments500.jpg\" alt=\"fallornaments500.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And my most prized piece only because I took the stuffie pattern (from flickr) and resized\u00c2\u00a0 it to my needs and it came out so cute!! For the Felt Brooch swap, my partner is a fan of Hello Kitty.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/hellokittybrooch500.jpg\" alt=\"hellokittybrooch500.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nSo freakin&#8217; cute I might have to make one for myself. I almost didn&#8217;t want to mail it off so fast (I just made it last night!)so I could admire it some more. HA! It does look cute with my new HK wristlet I made the other day!<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/thebunnylog.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/hkbag500.jpg\" alt=\"hkbag500.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A big shout out to futuregirl, whose <a href=\"http:\/\/www.futuregirl.com\/craft_blog\/2007\/9\/tutorial-hand-sew-felt.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">tutorials<\/a> really helped me a lot and pointed me towards my now <a href=\"http:\/\/heatherbailey.typepad.com\/photos\/my_favorite_knot\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">favorite knot<\/a>! And you know what? I won a <a href=\"http:\/\/felting.craftgossip.com\/2009\/08\/29\/the-winner-of-fun-felt-crafts-by-tina-skinner-book-and-giveaway\/\" target=\"_blank\">2nd giveaway<\/a> shortly after receiving my felt (I should have gone out to play the lottery!), a book called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fun-Felt-Crafts-Pretty-Recycled\/dp\/0764332996\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1250029692&amp;sr=1-2\" target=\"_blank\">Fun Felt Crafts<\/a>!
