super proud of her! named her miss mantis and she’s in clown school

Pics in order!
First project: Birthday fairie with xl hat for my best friend. took me nine hours straight no breaks!

Second: Mermaid! took less time but not sure by how much. the tail could be more done on the back but i love how it turned out so this is it lol.

Third: Princess, tried to add more detail and experimenting with making the blush look more natural and carving out the nose! She took me about 8 hours spread out over three days.

lastly now i’m working on a sunflower girl! wondering is there any way i can make longer curly hair?? any advice is appreciated and anyone who has links to better tools lmk! i’m working with a foam pad that keeps getting foam in my projects and a single needle because i don’t like the plastic multiple needle pens i bought. (they break the needles easy and are loud) i just got what i could find in store because i dont shop online very often so website or store recommendations are also very welcome! another question where are you guys getting your wool or felt. i bought all the little packs they had at hobby lobby but i would like to know if there’s any better options of better quality materials and/or more of it!

my yard is huge and i’m a 22 year old girl and i can’t take care of this. (moving into here in a few months) i had plans to no scape it myself but i don’t have the help i thought i would, considering just hiring a landscaper but im scared of how much it will cost. also if there any advice for someone in my position about anything as a new homeowner i would love to hear it!
