Now, this was unexpected

[wiseheart]

Today's progress, I mean. Not only have I managed to do all six "wheat sheaves", but I've also stitched on the cart, inclusive the buttons that serve as its wheels, and I've even cut out the seal of the windmill. Two of the four panels are sewn together, and I decided to make it mobile, so I added a push button to the design, instead of fixing the seal to the background as it was in the original. Now I only have to make the flea and a few flowers and the windmill page will be finished.

For a reminder: this is the windmill page I'm aiming for:



I've made the above following the original because that's what I was asked to do. But for the new one I'm thinking of adding some rubber band to the flea, so that it would be able to actually jump, as the song states. No clear idea how to do that, though. Some YouTube research is definitely required.

We also had choir practice today, which was fairly nice. The hungry masses have gobbled up my leftover cookies in no time. I'm so proud! :)

Oooh, jumping flea would be fun!
Glad choir wasn't too bad. And yay for them eating all the cookies.

I hope I can make the jumping flea work. Those women on YouTube make these things look so simple, but they are NOT! Especially as I make everything by hand.

Haha, yes, of course they ate all the cookies. The way to people's hearts leads through their bellies. *g*

So much!

Yep. :)

I love the idea of making the windmill sails moveable. I'm not sure how a rubber band would stand up over time, but how about some of that cord elastic that knitters use?

Err... that was what I actually meant, I think. I'm just eternally confused about what the simplest things are called in English. In Hungarian they are called rubber band for hats. *g*

Lol. At least we're on the same page re the possible solution. Even if we call it different things.

The jumping flea is a great idea!

If I can make it work...

Choir practice with cookie eating- no wonder all liked it!

That's wonderful. As for making the flea jump — what small child could resist that?

Oh, I love the page and it will be so grand with a jumping flea! Wish I had some cookies to gobble up, lol. Yours always look so lovely and delicious.
