Perfect little ball-ball made by a perfect little person!





What I loved most about making this with my little cousin is that only littlens can make this. because firstly you have to have little hands so you  can make the bodies of the snowmen all fit on the ball-ball and I think that only kids style of painting suits the ball-ball the best.

What we did first was I painted her hand she than held the ball in her hand- Cupping it so the paint went every where needed. She then did it again on the other side so there was plenty of snowmen on the ball-ball.
Next I helped her paint the scarves, hats and faces and then we were done!

Simple as that!

Parent's Christmas present !



So it Christmas eve and I wanted to be a perfect sister and daughter by making everyone something for Christmas. Well These robins are a product of this conundrum of mine!

I started by rooting round for an old picture frame, determined not to be spending any more on Christmas presents. After that I painted The border bit and wrote on it. Afterwards I then Glued some lucky-find fabric on a foam board and then made the robins. . .

In order to make these robins all you need is a felting needle, brown felt and fibres. Its so simple and easy to do with a pretty good looking Set of robins at the end of it. All you basically do is stab or prod- depending how angry your feeling  on the chosen fibres until you think there all blended and mixed well.

One of the cristsims for this is that really the birds should having been kissing each other with the picture landscape not portrait. Oh-well at least my parents got something by Christmas day!

Also I have started to realize that anything I make for my parents is always animal themed. Next time my challenge is to not!
