The Jolly Golly Wog

I've been a mad felting nut lately lol I created this Jolly golly wog for my fiancee's brother as everytime we walk by the craft store that's near us he's always like oh look their coming back into fashion haha he's 46 so I did this gollywog in muted colors which I think turned out well, he's mainly felted in dorset wool which I'm really loving at the moment but he has accents of merino roving.

StringyBark festival and awards

wow I just can't believe it I entered the Stringybark festival and it was right at the last minute because my sewing teacher convinced me I should. It was the last night I had time to enter it and I only had these three items to show and tell in sewing and so I entered them. I placed second in bear category, second in hand made toy category and third in hand made toy category. There were over three hundred entrants so I'm just so happy I placed at all because there were so many more professional entrants than mine I thought. I entered mine in the intermediate section and was so excited when I picked them up again this evening. I sadly didn't have time over the weekend to go to the festival but it was still nice to have my work as an exhibit over the time.
