Felt Fob Friday - Fox

Something I learned while making this smug little fox: in Japanese folk tales, leaves are important things for foxes. When a fox puts a leaf on the head and does a somersault, he can transform into anything. Upon learning this I meant to give him a little leaf on his head but I forgot.

And, in honour of shark week (aw, who am I kidding? In honour of Sharknado week, about which everyone at work has been terribly excited):

He looks a bit more like a whale, but you goes with the material at hand. This took under half an hour to make, so if I had the fleece and the inclination I would make a dozen of them and have a sharknado mobile..

Warm dragon neck pillow thingy

Here's dragon the second. This chap has a removable heat pack stuffed in his belly. Microwave it and you have a nice friendly dragon that you can wrap around your neck and snuggle with to keep warm.

 I'm sure in a few months keeping warm will seem like something we would need to happen, not so much now though. But hey that works quite well seeing as I don't have a microwave. May have to heat my lavender scented heat pack toasted over dragon breath..

Curled up, waiting for winter

Felt Fob Friday - Owl

Here's a little keyring I made while waiting for the Ocado delivery man. Owls are very 'in' at the moment, so I am trendy.

 

And if you need closure on the Ocado delivery story, the guy never came. Turns out I was 15 days too early. Oops.

Dilly the Dragon

I currently have two more dragon projects underway, but this was the quickest, and dare I say it, cutest. Oh that mome rath material (originally "teddy bear chenille" throws from Dunelm Mill) really was a good buy.

Dilly (as he has been named by a colleague) has gone to work with me, and so far no one has felt impelled to take his or her clothes off upon seeing him, so that was probably a one off incident.

Oh hey, look there in the corner, it is Tom the Troll. Hi Tom!
