I made another bear – this time with a flowery dress. She is all wool felt. My bears and bunnies have been leaving me to go to good homes elsewhere and that is really satisfying. Right now I’m working on an elephant, but I have grand plans to return to my owls at some point…

She can walk! (and the garden is coming along)
She learned to walk! Over this long weekend, Roxanne has made some serious strides (pun intended) toward walking independently. It is amazing. This morning she was walking from the family room to the kitchen and bag bringing daddy little cars. Wow! This weekend I put the annuals in the garden. We now have three varieties…
Bears and a New Sculpture
It was sunny this morning for about 15 minutes. We haven’t seen sun in over two weeks, so that was nice, I guess. Roxy and I went to visit our friend Alyson from playgroup to see her new baby, Zach. I got to hold him for nearly half an hour – oh he is so…
Help, I’m drowning…
Well, I made a little froggie. He is sitting up and smiling at me as we speak. Look at those bug eyes! This guy was fun to make and there will be others – perhaps some with inside out seams? I was so inspired by Hillary at Wee Wonderfuls link to Tamar Mogendorff. Her dolls…
Bunny #3
Okay, the newest bunny is finished! This one is also made out of a thrifted 100% wool scarf that I felted in the washing machine and wool felt for features and tunic. She also has a little flower button sewn onto her pocket with metallic thread (oooh, metallic thread is cool – it just got…
#2 Bunny
Here is my second little bunny. His body is made from a 100% wool scarf (originally from J Crew, but I found it this weekend for $2 at a thrift store) that I felted in the washing machine. It is so soft and fuzzy now! His (or is it a her? hard to say) features…
Bunny
Here is my little wool felt bunny. She is wearing a little A-line dress with a smart side pocket. Perhaps she needs some shoes? Hmmm…. I hope you like her. Another is soon to be in the works. In funny baby news, whenever our now 14 month-old Roxy sees a baby, or even just a…
Three Cards for Three Babies
I am in the midst of putting together lots of baby presents. A woman in my playgroup just had a baby boy and another is due in mid-June and I’m going to a baby shower for an old friend of ours this weekend, so I spent some time today making little t-shirt cards for everyone….
Omiyage
Charlie and I are about to head out for a nice night on the town and I have to pick up the babysitter in just a minute, but I wanted to post some omiyage that I made a few weeks ago. They are both little butterfly bags and the pattern is from this book: They…
Another little birdie pouch
As usual, the second time I make something I am more satisfied with the results. This little birdie pouch is made from pink and green calicos with brown wool felt lining the pockets inside and felt wings and beak. I like the colors better than the last one, and I put little leaves on the…
