Flannel Friday: Fall Is Not Easy

Slacker! It’s a nutty week so I’m just showing you my version of Katie’s version of Fall Is Not Easy by Martin Kelley. I was so excited about this flannel that I made this from Katie’s post before I had seen the book.

When the book came in, I read it to my 10 year old daughter, and we seriously got the giggles. Since then I’ve been carrying it around to show everyone I know, but apparently I am the LAST PERSON IN THE WORLD to learn about this one, since everyone is all, Mel, we’ve seen it already!

Now that I know what some of the other “wrong leaves” are (see also Nicole’s version!) I might have to go back and add a few more, or make up my own.

The tree is a larger version of the tree pattern I used for Blue is the Sky. I decided to glue it to another piece of felt so that it wouldn’t be too floppy. I chose blue, but you could match it to the background color of your flannelboard, too.

I want to send a special shout-out this week to my Colorado library connections: you know who you are! Thanks for your encouraging words about Flannel Friday. Your support and enthusiasm is amazing.
