Christmas dressing up
This is just to show the avatar I have for that website I'm on, you can create little characters of yourself and dress up and what not.
Ice skating penguin!
This snow scene I've done for a website I'm on www.roliana.com, their hosting a Christmas Crafts contests similar to the Halloween one I entered and won in! I won a virtual prize to the site so I'm very happy. The theme for Christmas was snow or ice so I made the ice by freezing it and using food color to add to it. I used pollyfiber fill for the snow and needle felted the penguin and the snow bunny.
This is a little story of an ice skating penguin, he wanted to ice skate
so he found a frozen pond. He was tentative at first but he gained confidence
because his friend Snow bunny was watching him. He skated out onto the frozen
pond and looked over at Snow bunny. Snow Bunny wanted to go home soon however
as he could tell a blizzard was brewing. Penguin skated a couple of rounds
around the pond and he was glad that he had been brave enough to do it. Penguin looked
up at the sky and knew it was time to go home. Penguin thanked his friend the Snow bunny and they went home.

Christmas Bauble Snowy Salad
This is my very scrummy Christmas Bauble Snowy Salad
its called that because of the crumbled feta on top! lol
we don't have snow where we are in Australia and so I thought
I'd create some snowy themed food. Yes I do think I have an
over imagination sometimes and slightly too much time on my
hands!
What you need
Mixed salad greens
Baby rocket leaves
cherry tomatoes
crumbled feta cheese
olives
salt and pepper
capsicum
Mix up the salad leaves with the rocket leaves,
roughly slice the cherry tomatoes, dice the
capsicum, place the leaves on the plate first,
then sprinkle the tomatoes, capsicum, olives,
and feta, season to taste! its rather easy
and its very scrummy. Pictured in the second photo
is the color from the lettuce that has the pink
stripe, it makes it more Christmassy like tinsel on
the Christmas tree!

Koala Billy grumpy plush bear
This is Grumpy Billy the Koala bear
he sits perfectly by himself and is needle felted
using alpaca blend wool roving an dnd merino wool
roving for his accents. Billy sits at about inches
tall so he's a real mini. He is firmy needle felted
by me. He loves to be held and petted, but he is grumpy
beceause he can't find the leaves that he enjoys so much.
So he has to do with other types of leaves for his dinner.

Needle felting pleasure galore!
I was involved with a swap in the fun to felt group
I'm in, we did a Christmas swap and my gift from the lovely
Gail Burton arrived today. I love meerkats! I swooned when
I opened the package. And the penguin is just so lovely
I squaled lol. The wool is also a lovely touch and the
card is so sweet! as you can tell I'm somewhat gushing as
I've been a fan of Gail's for awhile now.
I also got my belated birthday gift from my fiancee ^_^ I didn't know what to get lol I'm terrible at choosing things. But I was browsing on etsy and lo and behold this fox doll came up by LulusApple. She needle felted it and hand sewn the outfit, she also put in the little pair of elf shoes ornament as a gift.

Our furbabies and a felted Christmas stocking
We have a few new additions to our family ^_^ I have a family of ever growing furbabies and I love them all. This latest is a guinea pig, her name is oinkey and she is very beuatiful and very fat. We put her with our other two female guinea pigs, and she's loving it. Her friend passed away a few months ago and she's been feeling sad so no wonder she is loving the company.
This next photo is of Sinae, she's a white seal pointed guinea pig and is the oldest ofthe three. Sinae is very lucky as we got her when she was pregnant and she was older than six months and nearly died through giving birth. Supposedly guinea pigs if they haven't bred before six months old shouldn't be breed from. We don't breed our pets as we feel its a gift just to have these in our lives and they are happy with each others company.
Beaver is our third guinea pig, we called her beaver because of her coat color and texture she is the shyest out of the pigs and so was hiding in her little box. And yes there is a little bit of guinea pig poop lol
This is SpotSpot and its Snowy's daughter, she's a very pretty gray and white bun bun, she kept moving out of the shot so its a tad blurry haha
This is Snowy, Spotspots mother, they had to be put into different hutches because
in the end Snowy got tempermental but they still live side by side to give each other
company. Snowy was a lot whiter when she was a baby bunny.
Indy is the first every bunbun that we got, he was my one months aniversary gift from
my fiancee and we've been together for just over four years now. He's nicknamed the
magic bunny because his fur changes color depending on the season.
Now we have our little silverbeet patch, I say little because its only about a metre big in size we wanted to only be small because we're not really green thumbed but wanted to try something. It seems to be going well for our first try. Just that the snails do seem to peck at it whenever we turn our backs. Its also sorely in need of a good weed but alas there never seems to be enough time during the day.
This is our one and only tomato plant only planted a few days ago, we hope it grows bigand strong to give us ripe red tomatoes. I'm thinking of planting some herbs if this tomato bush goes well.
A kangaroo paw bush is a very pretty bush, we planted it a year or so ago and my fiancee even ran over it by mistake with the lawn mower and its still going strong! The Kangaroopaw is an Australian native.
There is always life and death in a garden, we have cicadas at the moment and I found
the shell of one under a tree by the rabbits cages. I decided to take a snap of it because they are beautiful in their own right. The magpies get a good feed of these.
Now this is my latest creation, I wet felted a panel of felt using silk, merino and other locks and didn't know what to do with it. I zigzagged stitched over it to give it strength and then today I finally created something with it and am rather proud of it. No patterns or anything like that just my own thoughts and creativity coming into play, I'm so glad I thought of what to do because now I can use my felting skills and still use my sewing machine so that makes me happy otherwise my poor sewing machine is just sitting there alll lonely.I needle felted the red trim onto it and that is merino roving. I used red polar fleece on the backing and sewed a string of yarn for the handle.
