New stuff
The month of June turned out to be a busy one, so I haven't posted in a while. Check out three fabulous new links under "fun stuff"and buy yourself a crazy stuffed hedgehog and get ready for July!
recommended July bar: "jackie's 5th amendment" in Park Slope: fun of ALL ages!
recommended reading for July: " Sick" by Johnathan Cohn
recommended cookie for July: Lemon Anise refrigerator cookies (shh, dough snuck from the fridge at midnight tastes better than the baked cookies!)
recommended artist for July: Calif Brown: summery, whimsical illustrations that'll get you in the July mood!

May Flowers and Friends
Clyde the spring cat has a snazzy bow tie that gives him a distinguished air. He enjoys watching his pinwheel zip around in the spring breeze!
May Flowers: I think these would make nice brooches or appliques to pillows or bags.
May Flowers Moleskin cover: My planner was looking a little funky, so I made this nifty cover for it! I modified checkbook cover directions from a sewing book, and using felt eliminated the need for fancy techniques.
Poppyseed bread: Came out alright, the whole loaf looks more like a poppyseed burrito than anything else, but it tastes good, and that's all that matters!

More felted pals!
I think I'm approaching mastery of needle felting! I took a long walk to Cobble Hill (see below post) to visit the Brooklyn General store, which has some beautiful colors of wool and very helpful staff. So I stocked up and got to feltin'!
!
Bertrum Bear: inspired by Jenn Docherty's beautiful creations, I decided to see if I could tackle a more complicated form with clothing. Thus, Bertrum the pea-green bear was born! I'm quite pleased with his springy colors and smart vest.
This owl looks a bit "special," but I still like his woodsy colors.
Bunny with Warren: I used a small piece of wood to build this warren. First I covered it in fabric, then attached a base of stuffing wool using fabric glue. I used this base to needle felt the green moss that makes this bun-bun's home. Then I used the fabric from the base, more felt and pins to make flower bunches. Then I decided the bunny looked a bit lonely, so I invited over the hedgehog for a party!

lunch break!
