The little curious girl . .

She is a really nosy one, didn't have the patience to wait until I finish her claws, or as a matter of fact her ears ! Yes they have tiny ears and that explains it ! She don't listen !

Found her on a tree this morning. . .

 Big smile of course !

Between the pillows . . .

I could catch her and here she is , I thought she would be sleepy by now but NO

As I was working on her ears, she sneaked up on me, climbed upon the table . . . . 

Pheeew, she snuggled up with Pinky and I think she is asleep now :-)

Mr. Badger ( well, he is still a boy)

Last weekend we drove to Germany again, on our way there we drive through Belgium and there I saw a dead badger by the side of the highway.

I never saw a badger in real or alive for that matter.

I think they are beautiful animals , animals we should protect before it's too late.

Well it inspired me to make a cub and the more photo's I saw on the internet the more I love them  and the more I was shocked to see how they are persecuted.

I'll put a link here so if you want you can read about the efforts some groups make to protect this beautiful creature.

I'm thinking of making a Mrs. Fox ( well she would still be a little girl)


P.s. To the people who live at the East coast in the States: You will be in my thoughts this weekend

Hello you little guy!

The entire litter !

The one on the left is very anxious to go to Hittyville !

The second one ( standing) is also adopted and will go to Utrecht, Holland.

The piggie laying down loves Pinky and imitates Pinky's favourite pastime.

The little sitting piggie is very affectionate and attach herself easily.

And there is the one with his nose on the ground, not sure what he is looking for, maybe truffles or little mice . . . . . . 

Message from Pa gnome

We've got a message from Pa gnome today :

Hello everyone!

Greetings from Pa

p.s. see you soon x

 

baby great horned owl

I was so inspired by the photo's Susan send me, she has these cuties in her garden !!!!!

I add another pic I just took, he is in his basket in my kitchen and he looks at me all the time, I can't stop laughing at him

Monkey on my back

I was working on Pippi Longstocking this week but well I don't know, maybe the moon and planets were not on my side .

I made 4 heads for Pippi and non of them were the Pippi I had in mind.

So she goes in my cupboard for a while. 

I also had a monkey on my back, Mr. Nilsson. I studied a lot of pics of this squirrel monkey and the more I saw them the more I wanted to make a lifesize squirrel monkey.

I'm always a bit chaotic when it comes to new designs and it takes a long time before all the details are in my head.

He is almost finished now ( he has only one leg) but I couldn't wait any longer and wanted  to show him to you.

He is completely needle felted.

Another find !

I was sitting quietly at my kitchen table when suddenly little Ginny appeared on top of the table

  Oh my goodness ! What is going on Ginny !

Aaaaw Look at those sweeties.

Don't worry Ginny, the Mom will find them.

But Helen, shouldn't we take them inside and feed them and comfort them?

No no, little owls fall out often and the best you can do is leave them, don't touch them, the mother or father  find them and take care of them.

You see? Everything is going to be fine little ones!

You know what, I write a letter to a  Gnome friend and ask him if he could stay here a while with you and teach you all about the animals.

p.s. The owls are going to be in my Etsy shop March 31 at 3:00 CTZ
