A Christmas tiger and a little frog

 I got a request for a tiger poking his head through a small hole in the wall for a Christmas present from mother hen.

While it is far from perfect I'm still pretty happy with how he turned out, especially considering how much harder it is to felt with a puppy around - no more sitting on the sofa comfortably surrounded by billows of colourful fluff for me!

He's life sized


"Hello, I just popped by to see how you're doing!"



There is a LOT of stuffing in this fella by the way!


And while you are here, here's a iddy biddy frog I made for absolutely no reason back in the summer.

Bob the bee

 I made this little fella. When I was referring to him as a he, Dan pointed out that male bees die in winter. But I explained that Bob was a favourite of the Queen's so she made him winter gear to keep him warm and alive. 


That's why he always looks like such a fun bee to be around. Because the moment he stops amusing the Queen she has no more use for him. Oh, that turned dark!


Iddy biddy little bee stinger.

Sir Bouncelot and his trusty steed

I made this guy almost a year ago, for the 2019 christmas craft fair, but just realised that I never posted him!


This was one of those situations where I had no idea what I was doing and just kept throwing felt at it until I felt any more felt would be too much felt. Unfortunately I did run out of the ... thing, whatever the brown thing he's riding is?... I ran out of brown wool for him, so he ended up looking how he looked and I focussed on the bunny instead. 


He has a cape! If I recall correctly, there were multiple discussions about seeing if I could get bunny-sized chain mail to make him a mail shirt. But I think we decided that would be overkill.

Fairy door for my little neighbour and King of Tokyo

 I made a little fairy door to go on the neighbour's side of a tree in our garden to delight the daughter-neighbour.


I also made Tokyo statuettes for Meka Dragon and Cyber Bunny because Dan and I play those characters (respectively). Look, I had a quiet weekend and a lot of clay on my hands, okay?!


He was a bit too shiny for a good picture.


In the game of Tokyo you win or you die. (Are we still making GoT references, or is that so 2019??)
