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

  3. I think she is adorable. She reminds me of the doll on the island of misfit toys in that Christmas special for kids. I love her.

  8. Ha ha ha! Giggling loudly! Petula has an equally freaky friend! Fabulous! I love her. I really love her, she's so odd she's unbelievably cute. I think she is called Penelopina. It's the red eyes that make her for me. They are perfect.
