Dad's Day Pic By Elkie...you gotta laugh :)

Well this should bring a smile to Brian's dial on Sunday....Elkie's place mat she made for him at Pre-school for fathers day!! It is a piccie of Dad sleeping on the bed and as you can see it says he falls asleep on the chair...I cracked up laughing when I saw this as kids just do what they see and Brian works in a job where he is up at 4am and off to work at 5.15am and then he is physically all go for the next 8-10 hours so when Elkie gets home his eyes are rightfully drooping and the head is nodding no matter how much he wants to stay awake to play it is a struggle on most days!! What a wonderful Dad he is to try and do what he does at the young age of 53....sssshhhhhh !! Don't tell him I gave away his age!!!!

We loves him very much!!!! So to all those wonderful Dad's out there...HAPPY FATHERS DAY GUYS!!!

Oh and I just had to show you my mothers day pic Elkie did for me! It is a pic of Me on the left making a teddy bear ( I am holding it in the pic) and Elkie on the right watching. Next to her on the left is a table with my felting foam on it....I JUST ADORE IT!!!!!

Have a wonderful Dad's Day Everyone!!

'Willopee' My First Little Orangutan!

'Willopee' is a 13 1/2 inch OOAK Lombard Bears Orangutan.....My first little orangutan!! He is made from a gorgeous rusty coloured mohair with a dark brown back and has beautiful soulful blue glass eyes from the UK. His feet , hands and inner ears are a lovely soft chocolate suede which I have hand stitched to make fingers and toes. 'Willopee's' face is sculpted needle felt which I have hand shaded with inks to give him all his character. He has my signature 9-way jointing system so he sits like an ape and he is filled with wool then weighted with steel shot so he feels like a real little creature.
                                                              Available on my website now!!

A happy trekker with her ducky who dropped down between some rocks up the top and we had to organise an emergency rescue!!!

Brian and I did our darndest to hold up balancing rock ;)

What do you do when your mind in chogged up...........head for the sky!!! We headed for a place called Castle Rock last weekend and had a fabulous day!!! Brian made it to the top onto the lookout round Castle Rock, Elkie and I waited at the bottom of the steps up to it as it was a bit scarey for Elkie and then we headed for the easy lookout on the other side. I fabulous spot and an amazing view to reward yourself with after a lovely bushwalk up!! That's living I say :)

On the creations front....a new chimp friend in evolving and set to enter the world soon :)
