Food! Plus Duncan and his Doughnut.

Happy July 4th----almost. Here in Jo'burg the town is having a picnic in the park below my house and at night the locals will light up their "safe and sane" fireworks in the ball field. Later, after the fire department has left, they blow off the insane ones. They're fun to watch. But a bit scary. I'll be out all night with the water hose at the ready. One my favorite things about the holidays is the food! And food is one of my favorite things to felt. Here's a few examples of what I've done. I hope you enjoy them.

Also, I'd like to introduce you to Duncan. He's a cute little mousie who dreams of tubing down a river of chocolate milk on his doughnut he's available for adoption now and is currently on eBay until Wednesdy at 6:45 pm PST.

Glowie & Ginger

Here it is, the third week of the great experiment. I'm back to reserves. The others did well with the higher starting prices. But I think that I'll give this a try for a couple of weeks just to say I gave it a fair shot. Hint ~ The reserve on both of them is $95.00.

Presently. I'm taking a break from felting to give my poor arm a rest and am working on a pattern for a sewn teddy friend. The mohair that I have is perfect for a little lion cub. I'm a bit ambicious because it's only my third sewn teddy ever. I'm trying to make him fully jointed and posable. eyes mouth and everything. I hope it's not a waste of mohair. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm going to try it out on muslin first. I'll let you know how it progresses

So here's first, Glowie. She was designed after a little opossum baby who was found nesting in my Christmas ornaments in the basement. She and her brothers and sisters were always there begging for veggie dogs and watermelon whenever we would fire up the barbeque. I'm particu;arly proud of her needle felted watermelon slice. I love making felt food.

I even included some felt food with Ginger, the little mouse. She has a needle felted fortune cookie. Her fortune reads "On the waves of your dreams you glide forward towards the shores of your better life."

I hope you enjoy them!
