Sylvanian

My love of all things  woodland continues lately.  Seeing Toy Story 3 made me want to go and find some old friends in my Mum's attic, and the Bank Holiday weekend gave me the time to do so.  Amongst other treasures (some of which are currently being washed) I found my Sylvanian Family collection.

Mouse Children

Owl Family
My mind is now turning to how I can utilise them and make something...so far I've got plans to get them in to the garden for a photo shoot and possibly make some bottle top brooches from the results.  Continuing the small animal theme I continued this weekend with my newest hobby - crochet, and had a crack at my first amiguruni, a tiny mouse. 

I would normally give this mouse a name, but since she is gift for my (as yet unborn) niece or nephew then I will leave that to them.

Twit Twoo

My craft endeavours have been owl themed of late, I made an owl cushion (Oliver) as a gift and have been making lots of these tiny owls.  They're very quick to make which suits my impatient nature, and I've now got owls brightening up my flat!


There's been an enforced hiatus on recording my work due to a stolen camera, I've been able to resume blogging thanks to DP's generous loan.
