hats

This week I have been experimenting with making hats.

Koala hats to be precise

Experimenting with trying to take more interesting photos

 
These two guys are bookends my husband bought me for my wedding anniversary, and who normally sit on my bedside table trying to tidy the pile of books there

I've been experimenting with making bunny hats

And not sure what type of hat this one was....

There was a sale on at my local wool store- 40%, so my Saturday morning was quite pleasurable

I have lots of plans for this wool.

And last but not least, here is the mermaid, as promised

Here she is in the process of being made.
She looks a lot better in pieces than she does actually put together sadly :(

And here she is all put together-

I tried different frames and exposures to try and make her look better

But truth be told I think I just have to face up to the fact that I am not very good at making cute toys.

Daughter No2 absolutely loves her but, and in fact goes to sleep each day with the snake I made previously, the scary mermaid, and Stinky Toby.
So I guess she is a success, as she is loved very much by someone :)
Have a lovely week
