Hand work...

School is out for the summer! Amalie brought home her hand work. I think it's amazing!

This is her knitted gnome girl...

She needle felted a face on at home...

and added some mohair locks for hair...Isn't the braid cute?

This is the scarf she knitted. She gave it to me for Mother's Day this year. I couldn't have received a sweeter gift!

Amalie was invited to a birthday party. We whipped this up together...

The body of the purse was wet felted around a rock. We cut the opening with a razor and took the stone out after it dried. We added a wooden bead as a clasp. The strap was braided out of left over yarn scraps.

When we turned the purse over we discovered a cute little pixie had felted himself into the back quite by surprise. Can you see him? Another reminder of how magical creating can be.
