My felted Daffodil to wear today

[Fibrofoggiest]

This is my very bad attempt at a felted daffodil, it was either this or an attempt at a leek or a dragon (this is my first St. David's day without Idris he is still AWOL )

I don't understand why my piccies always go sideways

Morning Foggy. That is very. very good. I love daffs always have and so apparently did my mom . hugs sue xxx

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to Hidden]

Hi Sue, it isn't anywhere near as good as I wanted it to be, It just couldn't seem to get the trumpet part to stand out as I wanted it to. I should think with your wonderful crocheting you could easily knock one up. I tried my hand at some crocheting this week and just about managed to get the basic stitch done, but I think the wool I was using wasn't great. Perhaps you should out up a tutorial for idiots like me on you tube to help me. All the American ones seem to talk so quickly I can't grasp what they're on about .......lalalalala as ever.

[Hidden in reply to Fibrofoggiest]

Be careful when following patterns. The americans call the stitches different names to those we use, I`ll look and see what i can find sue

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

i`ve started a new board, starting crochet. When I was learning tunisian I found the best way was to use picture tutorials and vidieos what i puzzled over on the one I could see on the other. good luck sue

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to Hidden]

I'm not sure I'm up to patterns yet but I am looking at tutorials.....let's hope I manage to find the lost crochet hook..... Lalalalala

[Hidden in reply to Fibrofoggiest]

Most people start with the granny square. they can be joined together to make all sorts of things

[Ginsing]

i THINK THAT IS WICKED WELL DONE very hard to make the trumpet stand clear of the oher petals.

[fenbadger]

Well I like it! If you don't please send it via A303 to me

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to fenbadger]

Unfortunately the A303 is as normal clog jammed even a daffodil may not reach you

[fenbadger in reply to Fibrofoggiest]

Aaaaaargh. My favourite road. The way to the west.

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to fenbadger]

Mine too Paul, except the Stonehenge bit and when the grockles hit the road

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to Fibrofoggiest]

Meant to say, only when it's coming west, going east eeuughh

[chellshock]

Aw that's fab Foggy how long did it take to make?

How are you feeling today my friend?

xxxsianxxx

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to Hidden]

It took about an hour as I was dry felting the bit meant to be the trumpet, which didn't really come out the way I wanted it to, very frustrating

[Hidden in reply to Fibrofoggiest]

Well it's fab nonetheless and I'd wear it

Are you a creative perfectionist Foggy?

I know I can be Just gives me the opportunity to try again LOL xxx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I`m very rarlly satisfied with my attempts,

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I'm terrible for it I will keep going until I perfect something I will always find a flaw with something I make that no-one else sees, just me

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Have you ever made something was totally dissatisfied with and just shoved it in a draw. Then come accros it years later and its that much better than you remember. you cant believe that it was yours. I did once with some art work It still got stuck back in the draw though. sue

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

often especially after Uni because a lot of things got boxed up and sent to the cellar

Funny isn't it LOL

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to Hidden]

Good grief Sue, what you've made is incredible, I wish I had even one iota of your talent

Foggy x

[Hidden in reply to Fibrofoggiest]

I ve had some right dissasters as well, Like the dress I spent weeks crocheting for g`daughter only to find that she was a lot taller than i thought and the dress dint even cover her knickers

[hamble99b]

I think it's lovely! I'd wear it

they've got a felting machine on tv at the mo and it's £135.

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to hamble99b]

Aww thank you, I've seen the machines but I like the feel of doing it myself, the machines are very very clever

Hi Foggy,

Please do not put yourself down, as you know I am Welsh and that Daffodil is absolutely FANTASTIC!! Well done you!!

You have put me to shame, as I have bought my Daffodil!! Even though it is attached to my "spotty!!" dressing gown, I am still proud to wear it! You should be so proud of your beautiful hand-made one, so please wear it with Pride!

I sincerely hope you will start to feel a little better soon. I have so much respect, love and all the help, you so freely give of yourself, has taught me just so much. I am extremely grateful to you!!

You have genuinely helped me, more than you will EVER know, thank you so much for all your kindness, empathy, care and love. You truly are unique, in the nicest possible way! A rare Gem, I treasure in my life! I continue to uphold you in my prayers.

Hope you have a good day, please look after yourself, enjoy the rest of the weekend..

Foggy x

[Hidden]

Well said Lynn I think it` great. sue

[TheAuthor]

Hi Foggy

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. I actually think it is really good, you should be very happy with your finished daffodil.

Take care my friend

I think that daffodil is very very cute. Have you thought of doing poppies as well? Or any other flower. The would be cute on a headband too.

[Fibrofoggiest]

Hi Milynda,

Indeed I have done poppies, I made several and gave them to friends, but took a donation to give to the British Legion. I made £20 for 7 poppies. I have done small flowers and large ones to wear as brooches in all sorta of colours, they make good little pressies for friends
