Rainy Day Boredom Breaker
Well since it was a bit of a rainy morning I decided to stay in and wait out the dreary weather (aha! If I did that every time it rained I'd be a hermit!) and make my Sylvanians a very important Spring time companion - an umbrella!
It still needs a bit of work - I want to hem the edges to neaten it up and add a little tie so that it isn't quite to bulky for the Sylvanians. I am pretty happy with the outcome of 25 minutes of easy work though.
With thanks to Primrose Evergreen for modelling her new umbrella.

Re: Rainy Day Boredom Breaker
Thank you everyone for the lovely words! I will start making another one and photograph it as I go along. Once you see it, you'll understand why 25 minutes (and that's mostly because the paint needed drying!) is all you need

Re: Rainy Day Boredom Breaker
Rightio, I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to rustle one up whilst trying to find sleep... found it after a bit so finished it this morning.
Here you all are - sorry for the instructions I find it hard to explain myself sometimes so please forgive me if you haven't a clue what I'm on about (and ask questions if you have any )
Miniature Umbrella Tutorial
Thanks to everyone who had an interest, it makes doing these projects feel a little more validating!

Re: Rainy Day Boredom Breaker
Aha! Good luck with that, here I went everywhere... apparently they've fallen out of favour as no one stocks them! I finally tracked some down at an off licence store (of all places!!)
Thank you for the kind words and I would love to see what everyone else does - I always have the best intentions but my creations often could do MUCH better in more artistic hands so it'd be great to see what else everyone does.
