Tiny sleepy crochet lamb

This little guy is a prototype for a mobile I have in mind.

So husband figured out the other day what our family motto is. And it may not be incredibly PC. I think he has always had a healthy mistrust of authority and blindly following but he really only codified it a couple of weeks ago. See this cartoon.
Somehow when I took his name this attitude imparted itself to me when I signed the marriage certificate. Awkward.

Either way, I believe our house requires our family motto.


My mother is so disappointed in me...

Fluffy crochet boy monkey

I had a commission to make another fluffy monkey but for a boy. Hmmm. tough. How do I make a small fluffy thing for a boy?
I'll tell you:   a scarf.
and possibly a some funky hair. clearly.
Wanna see the first fluffy monkeys I made? they're here: little fluffy crochet monkies

Felt aeroplane mobile

My newest mobile is this little felt bi-plane.
DH told me that the plane's propeller looks like a moustache and now I can't help seeing it that way! Weirdly I am then reminded of the Red Baron that Snoopy dog fights then :)

This little plane fits in my hand and is so light because of the felt and fibrefill that it spins merrily in the wind.
It is currently snowing outside so I'm not really opening windows to feel the arctic breeze but I did spend a couple happy minutes blowing this bi-plane around just to watch it dip and whirl.
Happy crafting!

Make me famous!
