On the hunt

Mum is trying to locate Bebe, thought I would give her a hand.

See you soon!

Stroll down the avenue with a mouse or two

Just completed...  I know this buggy may be a tad busy for some,  (tad you say?) but you have to admit it is different..  I was trying to go out of the box, as it were,  when creating the buggy.. It has been constructed using styrofoam, covered wire, cardstock ( I pleated) buttons, lace and rose petals from my garden that have sealed.  Last I added a touch of glitter on the roses.

Needle felted Mama mouse and of course a baby mouse, all wrapped up... She is not removable from her pink blanket,  however, she may be removed from the buggy.

Mama's skirt is handmade in felt with a lace overlay and tulle underskirt.  Not removable.

Baby is 2 1/2" tall,  Mama  mouse is 4" and the buggy measures 4 1/2" in length.

Thank you so much for visiting..

Wishing all a beautiful weekend... Please remember to take time to stop and smell the roses along the way.

Valentine's Day at the Ocean with Miss B

What a wonderful Valentines Day I had at Tarranea, a beautiful Resort located  right on the ocean ( Rancho Palos Verdes, CA) . There is a long walking trail that is open to the public,  places to sit and relax,  watch the ocean birds and smell the fresh ocean air.. What a day we had.. I would love to save up my pennies, book a room and spend a weekend here..  My darling grandchild made my Valentines Day one to hold in my heart always...  Next time we do this, I am taking Jasper and Zoe along... Well, maybe one at a time..  As you can see she brought Bella and Gysmo..  Britt takes Bella here once a week..  She lives only a hop and a skip away.  It was a 90 mile drive for me, but worth ever minute.. 

I don't know if you can see, but the third photo down, if you look over to the top left, there was a women and her white Schnauzer out on the rocks.  She was taking photos of him... Made me a little nervous with him being off leash for the photo shoot, but he was very well behaved.. Little guy sat right on the edge.

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's day.. I hope to visit you all this evening. Thank you so much for your visit.

Love and blessings,

Penny

Bebe My funny little Valentine

Bebe is all set for Valentine's day..  She reguested a toy this year... No chocolate she said.  You know I can never refuse her any request, so I made her a little toy mouse sculpted in Fimo... It is 1 1/4" in length..

As for Bebe, this is my first Bebe sculpted in paperclay.   I must say it was enjoyable..

Her fur (merino wool) has been cut and hand applied, tiny pieces at a time. She is holding her little red purse and wearing her handmade felt bonnet. She stands 2 3/4" tall and is available on Ebay

Thank you so much for visiting.

Love,

Bebe and Penny

Needle felting My first poodle Mr. Jasper

Good evening....  I just finished him this evening..  How he got started is kind of funny... First, it is very hard for me to see the difference in size of my needle felting needles, they are so thin..  I knew I should have marked them.  The way I can tell is when I poke into the wool.  So that is what I did with each one.  I rolled up some wool and poked away, and it occurred to me that it looked very much like a poodle head!  Go figure.. So that is how he started.. He is 5 1/2" in length and a little under 5" tall hope you  enjoy viewing...   Bebe is still in progress, she cannot make up her mind on what she wants to wear... I will try to hurry her along..

I would like to thank all of you for your lovely comments and always taking time to wander over for a visit.
Love and blessings,
Penny
