I have a little friend that will be turning FIVE very soon, so I have made him a new friend to cuddle up to.....
This squishy dino was made from a soft jumper, the legs were the trimming of an old pillowcase filled with rice, the spikes were made from an old summery shirt, and his tongue is a bit of velvety ribbon....scrumptious!
So recently I've run some 'christmassy' felting workshops which has lit my felting fire again. I decided to have a go at making felt slippers...not as easy as it looked in the books!
I started by making a pair of slippers for my Dad but goodness me it was taking forever to shrink, so I bunged them in the washing machine for a quick fix. Well now they are a lovely pair of slippers for my Mum! The other thing I should mention is that they came out of the machine looking like something a hobbit might wear. However with a bright flower and a bit of blanket stitch they look quite funky! What do you reckon?
