Light relief..

I sense that maybe I have bored you into submission with my rantings about work recently so I feel a responsibility to lighten up a bit and change the subject so you don't abandon me in your droves... wouldn't blame you.. I wish I could escape me sometimes!

Way back in an earlier post I was bleating on about not being able to sew and deciding that this year would be a good time to try this challenge.

I showed you a book that I had bought and was all of a titter about it in my usual Mr Toad way..(as in Wind in the Willows)
The book explains how to make sock and glove animals and is one of the range of Japanese publications that I find so inspiring. It was my intention (as always) to have a go and try using a completely different medium for a change.
I now have to confess that I have not picked this book up other than to gaze longingly at the enchanting little animals within and dream wistfully of the day that I take the plunge and MAKE ONE!!!!!
My pathetic excuse for not having achieved this yet .. is the difficulty in finding the right gloves.. they have to be cotton and handshaped (obviously.. you are thinking) in the form of a flat hand spread out..
Well you try finding these said gloves... c'est tres difficile n'est ce pas!!
I must add that I gave up pretty quickly and have buried the book along with others to the 'pending' pile!
Well my latest acquisition is a needle felt bunny kit...



This is not a totally alien craft to me... the felting I have already done by means of making slippers..



the needle bit.. I haven't done yet so .. dare I say watch this space.. and maybe .. just maybe a bunny will appear one day!

Don't hold your breath though!



Lastly ..here is another vintage box frame that I am hoping to list on my shop page ... when I get around to it!

This one is called..'Walking the Dogs'.

Woof!
