Littlest Pet Shop mat

so we all know I have an OBSESSION with the felt mats. disclaimer: the first two I made were for gifts click HERE for the boy one and click HERE for the girl one... and the batman one I made (click HERE) was for my son....so my daughter didn't even have one.

so OF course I HAD  to make her one. It's in the parent hand book. page 56 paragraph 2.

And I wanted to make her one for her littlest pet shop (all 50 of them)


I just took all her animals for ideas...lots of dogs...and I made a big farm area..a rock for the lizards and pond for the water animals.





my daughter swears these are puppies..I think they look more like bunnies



the pooping area...



you can see all my hot glue stringies...

in the zoo:




in action...I set them all up and took pictures and everyone wanted to play with it...

and it's a.......

so you have to love it!


in other completely unrelated to crafts or glue guns:

so happy I've got some peeps out there that watch cougar town.

I watch the middle, modern family and cougar town. makes for some awesome television. I love my wed. and with american idol....it makes for a very full dvr!


gun to your head...is my blog your favorite?


ps. I AM the gift whisperer.

    That is so great! I made felt car mats for 3 little nephews for Christmas, and I know my kids would have loved to have kept one for themselves... but since I have 3 GIRLS, something like this would be perfect!! Dang it, I'm going to have to buy some more felt now.

    But seriously, this mat is brilliant! Unfortunately for me, I *hate* the smell of the hot glue gun. I know, worst place EVER to make this comment. Do they make fragrant glue sticks? (No, for real, do they? That't be great! My whole house could smell like cinammon buns while I use the glue gun!)

    Oh my goodness. My daughter would flip over that! I would totally buy that in half a second. That would be so much easier than making one myself, especially since the craft store in my little town just closed and there is no longer any place to buy felt. But I might just have to make a trip and get cracking.

    My daughter LOVES her little pet shop animals and also enjoys crafting. I am going to show her this so she can make one of her own. This really is a great idea.

    IN LOVE. Found this from UCreate & addicted now. Where do you get such a big piece of felt for the base? Or do you just glue a bunch together?

    Oh & Cougar Town absolutely rocks my socks.
