Never Felt Better!

We've just come back from a long weekend in the Grampians. Not only did we have a relaxing and happy holiday, I've also found a new craft!

I wandered into 'Garments and Gadgets', a roving craft shop currently settled in Halls Gap. Owners Clare and Jenny create, teach and sell supplies for felting. You can visit their online shop at http://garmentsandgadgets.com.au.

Armed with some tips, some wool fibre and a felting needle, I've made my first (rather fluffy!) attempt. I made a skeleton out of pipe cleaners, then fleshed it out with wool. What started out looking like an Egyptian mummy turned into a mummy and baby. These figures of Mary and Jesus will be part of a Nativity scene which will hopefully be finished by Christmas!

Crazy Creatures

We share our house with two small creatures- a small boy and a funny little dog.

Which one do you think plays with the Fisher Price Activity Centre?


 

And which one goes in and out through the pet door?

Go on, guess.
