I'm Running Away To Join The Circus

Tina Jett from Scatterbox sent me this amazing hand sewn felt circus tent.  Actually, it arrived on the same day as Bethany's package.  And they both arrived on the same day as our new router.  It was a red letter day, alright!
I'm not sure how I found Scatterbox.  It's probably because someone clicked through from her site and I saw the referrer.  When I saw this circus tent on her site, I flipped out.  It's quite amazing and even more impressive when you discover it's her FIRST stuffie.  Wow!  It's also super cool (and weird) that I was in some way an inspiration for this little bit of wonderful.

I totally want to find pictures of a circus online and make the clowns and animals and sideshows tiny, print them out, and make a little circus diorama with the tent.  Wouldn't that be effing awesome!?!  I seriously imagine there's a whole bunch of people and animals already living in there.  Maybe I can live in there, too.  Well, I've already decided I want to live in here, but maybe the circus tent can be my summer home.  Thank you so much, Tina!

Hi Alice! We put up our tree last night & I was so excited to come across the ornaments you sent me last year (seahorse, jelly fish, etc). I just wanted you to know that you are a very happy part of our Christmas! Jessica

Delurking to say you could always make it a circus themed nativity for Christmas, like the Yurt Nativity at the Hunger Site: https://shop.thehungersite.com/store/item.do?itemId=27171&siteId=220

Ha! Circus nativity... Now that would be effing awesome.

Actually, Miss Alice, it was I that found you! I was checking out sites for places to get felt, your futurific page came up, I geeked over the felt squirrel you had made for someone, and the rest is history! Thanks so much for the loverly kudos! :)

That is adorable and I love the cut out idea, but for some reason I wanted to go and find some animal cookies to hang around the tent... hehehe.

Just found your blog and I'm loving it - you're very talented. :) Thanks for sharing.
