Hi!! For the past several months my mom has been wool felting and it is so exciting to see her try something brand new. Every project she has completed is better than the last and she is constantly improving. I’m so proud of her and I love the bumblebee she made for me! Her most recent wool buddy was a unicorn as per her granddaughter’s request for her birthday and it is, easily, her biggest and best creation yet. Her first go at the unicorn, admittedly, looked more like a giraffe so she scrapped it and tried again. The end result is SO dynamite and my niece adored it! Take a look:

This unicorn wool buddy is giving My Little Pony and I am living for it! I am genuinely so impressed by this handmade plushie and I’d be a stone cold liar if I said I didn’t want one for myself. While I am blown away by the size of the unicorn and the skill it took to make it, what I love most of all is that she tried again. Attempt One was leaving a lot to be desired and the proportions were too thin. She knew what needed to be done to improve it by bulking up the size and did exactly that. And, in doing so, hand crafted something that she was proud of too. To try again is to put forth that extra effort and really lock those skills in and I think that is so commendable. ❤

It was a total joy to collaborate with my mom because she was open to any and all suggestions to make a special gift for the birthday girl. I picked out the colors for the mane and tail and, of course, that had to include green which is the b-day princess’s favorite color. I also thought some hooves would look nice and my mom made them yellow to match the horn. The last idea I had of a My Little Pony style marking on the side did not come to fruition as my mom was a bit nervous about it but that’s okay. Maybe she will try one if she makes a unicorn for me next. After she makes me a little ladybug to go with my bumblebee, of course!!

I am seriously on pins and needles to see what my mom crafts next because this unicorn exceeded all expectations. Fabulous job, mom!!

Do you have plushies at home? Which My Little Pony is your favorite? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
