Home Made

So, I am still on my needle felting buzz and have now ordered two kits from WoolPets, the Bunny and the Red Fox. I can't wait for them to arrive so I can get started on them!

The other thing I am currently obsessed with is finding a craft table. I found this great table made with Ana White designs and I really really want one!! I have a friend who is a carpenter, and since I'm pretty sure my long-suffering boyfriend would probably draw the line at taking over our small apartment with a woodwork project, I'm going to see if he can modify it a bit an make me a craft table! I want it a little narrower, maybe with a panel that can fold down, and I think he could probably make it... I'm so excited to find out! Imagine having the space to build things - I am limited to nothing larger than a crocheted rug in our little home. But I really want to get a little work space set up as we have a beautiful window at the front of our apartment and the space isn't being used for anything other than my beautiful dressing table at the moment.

Today is my littlest nephew's 2nd birthday, and as well as a pile of clothes I sent him a crocheted carrot. He's always loved pretend food so my sister said he would probably like one of the carrots I had made. He seems to be pretty pleased with it, from what I can see in the photos. I always get so nervous about giving people home made things, but with my renewed love for craft and the first chance I've had in years to really get stuck in to it I think I might start taking it all a little more seriously. Especially if I'm going to be looking for jobs that pay very little, I'll be needing some way to fund my habit!
