bunny in a 'boat',and a Santa/Elf


Having fun with Photo Booth.


Sailing my office in a shoe 'boat.


Close up of the little guy-he's worried that the waves are getting too choppy, and doesn't want to fall in.

So here's a little wool felt bunny guy that I made one night in bed last week before settling down for the night. He's got cotton pipe cleaner limbs and a really cute face. I like his expression.

I think he's taking a sail in the little Dutch shoe 'boat'. What do you think?

His mouth is made from a couple of knitted threads I pulled out of an an old sweater top of my daughter's( that she owned when she was about 8 or 9. She's 19 now). I saved the sweater because it's a wonderful cotton pattern that I knew I would want to use. I made a sweater for another little gentleman- a red hot kitty, who is not pictured here.

His tie is a fine brown corduroy with cute greenish polka dots. He , his face, and tie are all all hand sewn.

Then , the other photo is my daughter holding up a paper mache Santa/ Elf I made a while back. I finally finished him last November, and he sold right away in a show. Real folk art like.

What do you make late at night in bed? Now no personal stuff here:) Lydia
