I have had such a lovely time, I've been playing with my wool and those sharp, little, barbed needles that turn it into felt. Imogen goes to a drama club on a Saturday afternoon, so after the usual Saturday chores were out the way (washing, shopping etc), I settled down to finish my felting project that I started yesterday.
Remember my little piece of fauna, the little posy vase, little log with the lamb and rabbit...
... I decided to start playing with it yesterday. I started with a little house with a red door. My house had a path that leads down to a small pond...
...the pond has 2 little ducks paddling on it
Sheep grazing, flowers, bushes, hedges and a tree with red apples on it.
When we travel across the M62, over the Pennines, we go past a farmhouse between the 2 halves of the motorway. I can't imagine what it's like to live there, even though it's surrounded by motorway traffic I think it's very isolated. Anyway, I sort of had the idea of that house in my mind when I made this one.
I'm very pleased with how it's turned out and have plans to make more. I hope you like my little cottage too.
I've never watched it before, but this year I have been completely pulled into watched Strictly Come Dancing. I've loved it, so I'm popping off to watch tonight's episode, to watch those marvellous dancers glide all over the floor... and the not so marvellous... but I envy them all floating and gliding in their beautiful outfits.
Take care

Hello Cheryl - what a marvellous idea you've had for that little vase! It's so beautifully done - those little ducks are superb - all of it is! Really lovely, and so clever of you! As for the dancing - I've always fancied the Tango, myself, but my husband says I've no chance of getting him to do that.....!!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
Lynda.

I love the fauna pieces xx
DeleteThat's really very sweet. I am going to look up needle felting now to see how it's done. I hope you enjoyed Strictly. X
ReplyDeletei did, though was sad to see Greg go xx
Deletewell done on your felting, a lovely way to spend an afternoon. We settled down to watch Strictly too followed by the Grand Tour then Casualty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, your Saturday nights sound on a par with ours xx
DeleteI loved it, I know just the house you are talking about divided by the motorway. We travel that way when we go to Manchester airport.
ReplyDeleteI always wonder what it must be like to live there, wouldn't fancy it myself xx
DeleteThat's so cute, a whole little life in miniature. I'm always fascinated by that farm on the M62 when we pass. Hope you enjoyed Strictly, I wonder who will go tonight.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I love 'little' things. Loving Strictly, can't believe I never watched it before this series xx
DeleteOh my you've done that beautifully.
ReplyDelete... I've always enjoyed Strictly, and last night's episode from Blackpool was excellent. Results show later this evening - who will get through I wonder?
Enjoy your day
All the best Jan
Thank you so much. I'd have loved to have been in Blackpool watching them xx
DeleteThat is so lovely.

DeleteIt's so cute! Needle felting has often appealed to me but I've never given it a try. You make it look so easy. x
ReplyDeleteI really like needle felting, the dry kind xx
DeleteAwww how cute! I have never tried needle felting, looks like fun :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week x
Thank you, I really enjoy it, find it quite rewarding xx
DeleteYour miniature is very cute! You are very crafty. Have a good week Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I love miniature things xx
DeleteVery cute project. Don't stab yourself with those needles!
ReplyDeleteHaha, done that a few times xx
DeleteYour felt project turned out lovely. So cute. Well done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I wasn't very good at felting when I tried it. Sigh. I hope to try again one day!
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely worth trying again, very rewarding xx
DeleteHow fun! You're good! I'm always fascinated by isolated houses.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm sure theres a back story to this particular house xx
DeleteThose little tiny sheep are amazing, I love the way you've incorporated your felted scene into the vase, very clever, I also love this year's strictly, not sure who will win though.
ReplyDeleteWell what a cute little patch of land you have created. Such a clever idea.
ReplyDeleteLisa x
You did an amazing job in creating this landscape, lovely!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!
I love your felted little cottage and countryside scene. They are so sweet! We love Strictly Come Dancing in our house, it's one of the highlights of our weekends at this time of year. x
ReplyDeletewhat a super clever way to create a scene! I would never have thought of that!
ReplyDeleteLove the felt scene! And the house in the motorway is one I always look at and think... why did they not move?
ReplyDeleteStrictly is brilliant & one of my favourite spots of the week...
How very creative, I love it !
ReplyDeleteI did a felt project for my "0" levels...way back when.
A tortoise, and I still have him :)

Your needlefelting is gorgeous. ..i have tried it a bit but dont have the patience for it. Hope you enjoyed Strictly.
ReplyDeleteI love your little felted project. It's so cute. I've seen animals and birds and flowers, but never an entire little setting. Very cute and creative! I have a friend looking for wool to felt. Can you share where you get yours?
ReplyDeleteCindy Bee
How cute!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and creative! I admire and appreciate your talent. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have such fun projects! Your miniature scene, just precious. And I would have no idea at all about needle felting.
