Wombats

 

How cute are wombats!
I love how solid they are, with their short legs *smile*
So I went on a hunt for a felt pattern… and had no luck
So I made my own, and I am pretty happy with how he turned out!

If you’d like to try here is my pattern and tutorial

I used some lovely rainbow thread {thank you Hinterland Mama x}
And don’t you love his button nose *silly smile*
A gift for Dino Boy’s pen pal Hazel…

 

And then I found out that a lovely friend who was leaving work also loves them…
so I had to make her one for her farewell gift *smile*
For this second one, I needle felted his nose and eyes
Isn’t he cute!

And Boy Mama Teacher Mama has a great list of wombat books!

Happy crafting,

At play… in the cubby house

It’s done, it’s done ~ right down to the little details {well mostly…}
There are cushions to sit on…
A teapot at the ready…
A ‘door bell’ made from little bells hanging near the doorway

*smile*

Sometimes the space transforms into our own little tea house
…with wonderful service {if you don’t mind a wait!}
And other days it is some kind of castle… and Dino Boy is my knight 
In fact, this week he even dug a moat around the base
~ nice & muddy ~

{My poor hellebores are feeling a little sad from the rough treatment!}
And Little Miss Q was not a fan ~ construction occurred while she was up in the cubby house… 
so she got a bit of a muddy wet surprise when she went to fill up the tea pot!
Luckily mama came to the rescue *smile*
The cubby house is also a wonderful weapon tower 
{it would seem} 
and all manner of weaponry can be discovered there 
…think green waste turned into swords *wink*

And sometimes I am {apparently} the wicked witch
who has locked them in the tower!
*happy sigh*
with imaginations in full flight!

Happy days,
Kelly
