Hipster Horse

Just on a short stroll in the woods, minding my own business when I saw this...
 
 
The Hipster movement has taken a step too far this time, or maybe 'Movember' is still a thing? This dapper chappie certainly thinks so.
(Subsequently found out that some Cobs or Gypsy Vanners have this feather to their genetic bow)

A Boxer Named Wellington

Just finished a commission for a lovely couple who own a huge character in the shape of a Boxer dog named Wellington (Welly for short)
Torn between a needle felted version or a pastel portrait they ended up wanting both.
I studied so many photographs of his face that I could see his little teef when I closed my eyes at night!!

Sloth In A Bucket

Perhaps the current cold spell is affecting my judgement but a miniature sloth in a bucket seemed like a perfectly reasonable idea the other night. Having acquired a number of brass trinkets, this little bucket was crying out for a inhabitant. My partners face was a picture when he asked what I was doing but I had the last laugh as 'ol' three toe' sold at a fair this weekend.
Here is a quick snap of him that I took on my phone - cant decide if he's looking on approvingly or judging me as I enjoyed a post production glass of wine!

The Christmas Spirit

Spent a few minutes admiring the double window display of Shabby Chic Country Living in Dorkings West Street this weekend
 
 
Now that's what I call Christmassy!

Needle Felted Black Labrador

I have been battling with Cosby on and off for a few weeks now, trying to capture his doleful expression!
 
Owned by my cousin and family, he's a failed Guide Dog (he liked other dogs too much and got distracted) The softest, most loveable lump, he is now in his senior years but still enjoys a good paddle about in the stream when he gets a chance. 

Christmas Robin Decoration

I supposed I'm allowed to mention the C word now that we are into November?!
Just added this guy to my Folksy shop, made from needle felted wool and framed in an embroidery hoop.
 
 
A robin tamed me once (yes I do mean that way around!) and he had be set up a mealworm feeding station for his exclusive use. I got into big trouble if I didn't prioritise his breakfast when I arrived in the mornings and he would stand bobbing by my elbow until I paid him due attention.
Available in my Folksy shop now
