Making butterflies

Sometime ago… at the start of Spring I think…
we made some soft and pretty butterflies at playgroup {and then at home too} using beautiful wool roving
We arranged the roving before wrapping pipe cleaners around and twisting.
Dino Boy even made a butterfly that was just emerging from it’s chrysalis.
I’m not sure why I’ve taken so long to share this craft…
Actually, it might just be that this was one of those craftswhere I found myself taking over… just a bit too much.
Does that ever happen to you?

Happy crafting,

Oink, oink

My kids make the most hilarious noise for a pig…
a huge nasal snort, upper lips pulled back and laughing eyes

Not like my ‘delicate’ sounding ‘oink oink’

So this is one of those occasions when I can happily say…
 …my Mother-in-law taught them that

{and I try not to be too hurt that the kids prefer her way *wink*}

These little piggies are part of the knitted farm the kids got for Christmas…
…and which I know I still need to share more about!
The needle felted pig I made using the instructions from Wool Pets by Laurie Sharp
And the felt pig from this pinned pattern

Happy crafting,
