Come Monday.....

Whew! This week has been so busy! I have been decorating the house for Fall, major cleaning (we are have D#2's birthday Saturday), getting auction baskets ready for the school, finishing up some crafty things so that I can decorate for Fall (will have some pics of that next week), & trying not to catch Dear Hubby's cold and I still have to bake a cake and make 50 sugar cookies before Saturday. But, I do have a detailed list of what I need to do and when, so....I'll get it all done, no problem! Tomorrow D#2 and I go on a field trip!! Johnny Appleseed's Farm (insert giddy dancing!!). I love those kind of field trips. You know....the fall kind that deals with apple seeds, pumpkins, hay rides and farm animals! I'll be back on Monday with some fun stuff to share.  Meanwhile, I'll leave you with a picture of a newly created mouse. He's reading a mouse size copy of the Poky Little Puppy under a quilt that Grandma Mouse made. He's not quite finished, I still have a few things to tweak, but here he is:

 

Have a wonderful day and rest of the week! Keep those 10 little crafty fingers busy!

Fall Is In The Air!!

Fall is coming. The days are getting shorter and cooler. I love this time of the year! Here little mouse is collecting acorns for the coming winter. Maybe just one more will fit into his tiny wheelbarrow. The acorns are needle felted wool roving. They are pincushions. Well....maybe not the one he is holding.

Above: His sweater is made from a recycled cashmere sweater. My sweet sister sent me some scraps of wool a while back and I have enjoyed using them.

Above: See the tufts of grass on the ground? The tufts are made from wool. There is some sandpaper that represents dirt. Tiny little rocks are glued in place on the "dirt".

 

 

 

 

Above: In these pictures I was experimenting on lighting and focus.

 

 

Above: Wool bird with real feather. His feet and legs are made from vintage pipe cleaners. The little pumpkin is hand sculpted and painted. The party hat is made out of an page of an old book. Black crepe paper fringe is around the lid of the oval box.

Closer look.

Hope you enjoyed looking at my newest creations. Thank you for visiting.

Have a wonderful day,

Holly
