Miss Lottie’s fanclub totally spoils her rotten. Kim, who is her #1 fan bought Lottie an adorable strawberry house!

She absolutely loved it so I decided to customise it to match the lovely card Kim painted too!

I decided the easiest way to do it was needle felting.

I laid out the letters in pink wool.

And pinned them in so I could see the placement well.

One by one I added thicker white wool to the top of each letter then thicker pink to the bottom. I blended them together so they looked like the watercolour that Kim did.

I’m sure she doesn’t know the difference but I smile every time I look at it! Thank you Kim!!!
