Fast forward to summer fruit

Today I finished an other small needle felt project. The little holes the needle leaves in the felt finaly came in handy. They add to the structure of the strawberry, and are great for pinning in the little seeds.

A bird in the cats bowl

For a split second I thought the cat had caught something and put it in her bowl. On closer inspection it appeared to be one of the felted animals I made. It's a robin waiting to get finished. It still needs feet and a further trimming of loose fibers, especially now that the cat has been walking around with it. I do take it as a compliment that she nicked my bird.

Stuck in some ivy the felt bird does not look too bad, does it?
