I made this today, I’m working on my crafty resolution of making something every day. This was today’s make. It was about 3.5 hours of stitching and I just kinda winged it from a photo.
The body and cap are stuffed with polyester wadding-probably not the best idea, but it seemed to work ok.
I am going to count working on something as making something, but I am a fast crafter, because I tend to lose interest if things stretch out. I try to get things done in one sitting-unless it’s a quilt, then it might be two
This looks so cool! The background fabric sets the scene very well.
Both of you keep an eye out next month for the Thing-A-Day craftalong where we commit to working on something every day of February! You’ll have a head start on momentum and we’d love to share that spirit.

Great resolution and the mushroom looks amazing, the backing is also wonderful, makes it all way more magical

I also seem to lose interest if the project lags on and on…I will look forward to that challenge…it will help destash and if I use scraps, I am ticking off a lot of craftalongs!
I’d never heard of stumpwork before the Craft Stars garage sale. I love the idea of adding dimension to an embroidery hoop, I feel like it opens a whole new world of possibilities! Your mushroom definitely ‘pops’ and that background fabric is perfect!
I’m also impressed by your resolution. I would love to do something creative each day, that’s something I definitely need to work on (especially if I can find quick crafts that I can actually finish in a day, then I’d really feel accomplished!)!
Love your stumpwork mushroom.
Your choice of background fabric totally complements the stumpwork mushroom
And well done you! You’re doing fab with your crafty resolution!
