Crochet Cactus #2

I just completed another cactus and I think this one came out more realistic and cuter than the first one =) This one includes a blue flower with light blue details and yellow filaments. The person who requested the pot provided the terracotta pot which she had painted gold.

Crochet Cactus

         I made this cute little cactus last night. It didn't go exactly as I planned, but i think it came out ok overall. I just made a basic bulb shape and then pushed in 4 places and sewed it into shape. I made a pom pom from pink and yellow using a pompom maker and then just tied that to the top. I sewed the cactus to the brown felt and then stuffed the felt and placed it in the pot. I then added stitches to each of the four outer edges, which I think adds a prickly look to it.
