Not Back to School ....

Mary and mummy and a bowl of bread dough...



with clean hands, and an apron a piece, they all get their hands sticky ...



after we let the goop rest, I divided it into 6 balls and we did a bit of number work, me swapping them about as a shaped them. They still have to learn that 6 is always 6 ...



and this week everyone got stuck into the dishes, even Mary. it's very clever really, just an extension of water play, with a very happy mummy at the end of it!

Little Edward - a 15 inch Edward Tulane Doll...

edward, waiting for his paws to be pulled (with thread) and a coat...



And here he is ready for the big wide world, complete with whiskers and his satin lined coat ...



fairly new to needle felting, I love it and enjoy creating his eyes, which were only white orbs of wool in my last post about this little rabbit!



in this pick I tried to give Edward the same dreamy look he wears on the cover of the book, where he sits on the shelf waiting for some one to come in a buy him ...

Cat on the bottom?

who is this with a cat on their bottom?



why, it's a rather cheeky button-wheeled mouse!



and there is only one way, well you can up your chances a bit of course - but sign up to the Plushteam, Raggy Rat, Mouse-Giveaway!!!



say that before your coffee!

finished molly owl number 2 ....

changed a few things since the fist molly-owl ...



lighter claws ...



still did some face shading - doing that makes me nervous!



lovely big, vintage buttons for wing joints ...



and she still has a lovely soft fluffy barn owl face ....

ground works ....getting our very own skip for the bank holiday weekend ...

back a bit - back a bit ....



Adam = the thinker!



but despite trying to bend the lorry round the wall, it's not going to fit!



so it goes down in the street ...



it's still about old shed new shed - its also about a wider driveway. And I only drive a Hyundai GETZ 1.1!

tiger tiger ....WIP

the foam dome is covered in fabric here
this helps me in marking symmetry ...



but it doesn't really look very tigery to me - more like a bear!
or chip and dale?



so i changed the forehead and shortened the muzzle ...



and also the slope of the nose ... and the angle of those ears ...



and Daisy, loves him ....
