so cute I can hardly stand it!

 

The art of creativity truely is using what you have.  It would have been fun to go to Goodwill and find some old wool sweaters for the leaves and flowers, but that seemed silly when I knew I had some felt scraps left over from another project.  Then I realized that my button box contained exactly zero options for the center of the flowers.  Good thing I recently learned how to make french knots.  Now I'm just hoping my niece hasn't outgrown this outfit in the time it's taken me to finish it!
