I hate this time of year, I love this time of year ...

On the infinite and infinitely changing to-do list in my head, the "Post Thanksgiving Recipe Blog" item has been glaring and tapping its foot for several weeks now ... At this point, I suppose I'll have to politely explain to "Post Thanksgiving Recipe Blog" that I need to bump it onto to next year's to-do, cuz uuhhh ... yeah.

Anyway! I'd really love to post some of the things I've been working on, but that would ruin somebody's Xmas! So in the meantime, here's something that *I* wouldn't mind finding beneath my tree ...

Isn't she gorgeous??? Click the pic and check out the rest of A Little Stranger's custom items - creepy cuddlies galore!

Alright y'all, back to the workshop. Toodles!

Holy needle felted wool sculptures, batman!

The other night, whilst browsing through etsy's selection of "plushie monsters," I happened upon this amazing thing:

How adorable is this??? I love the faces on the little peas - I want them to come to life and bounce around and be my little friends ... The title is "Leaning Tower of Peas" and it is a felted wool sculpture created by Kit Lane. I'd never heard of wool felting before, so of course I had to find out how it's done -

 

Looks time consuming, tedious and intensely satisfying! I'll have to give it a try one day ... Here's another of Kit's sculptures. "Snow Peas in Strangeland." Note the raccoon skull in the back - too cool.

Oh and these guys too - they're how I found her shop in the first place. I love them and I want an army of them to vanquish mine enemies.
