A needle felted fairy-toadstool and a hand sewn bunny made from an old mohair jumper for my daughter's birthday....

A pair of "minions" for a friend's twins....

A needle felted hare made for the sake of it....
(now less ghostly with a brown coat; need to take pics!)

And a baby-sized tutu as a birthday present for a friend's gorgeous one-year old, modelled by my ever so glam son!

I thought I hadn't made much over the past month but it seems I underestimated myself! I'm now itching to play with the Fimo my sister bought me for my birthday but am working long nights for the next couple of days so will be unable to create anything else until Tuesday....

When life became very busy and other excuses..

My little girl has started school! You would have thought that this would leave me more free time wouldn't you but apparently the reverse is true; I am now the Chair of my son's preschool committee & this is hugely time consuming as is the making of 37 tutus for my daughter's Christmas ballet show (hurrah I finally finished last week!) and the general stuff of life with a young family that I'm sure a lot of you can sympathise with.

So enough of the excuses; I'm just going to share a few photos of some of the things I have made since I last updated....

a needlefelted mouse...

needle felted baby owl....

crocheted minions!

& a needle felted elephant - approximately 1.5 inches long!

so there you go - that's just a few of the things that have been keeping my crafty hand in... I shall try to post more, I really shall!!
