Pomeranian

and a little happy pom

Sheltie

another of the long haired ones - a little Sheltie with a ball in his mouth

Monkey!

I have been practicing with longer hair on my fuzzies

So this little fuzzy (who reminds me a little of cuddles the monkey - or I am the only one old enough to remember him) has his lighter brown areas done in the new alpaca fleece and the rest is merino

Say hello to the ladies

Just back from holidays (will blog about it later) and went hunting for some new fibers

Found this stunning location

With these lovely lads and ladies

Are they not the cutest little things?

I have tried alpaca before but I guess it wasnt good quality because the fleece from these guys is totaly lovely

Smooth and silky, soft as anything with an almost soapy feel

and the great news is its also hypoallergenic

already tried felting with it and it is lovely

and mum is knitting socks :)

Mia

I have a little niggly feeling that Mia has been in the bin again

No trail of destruction - just a little fashion statement

Hopefully it is not a request!

Needle felted Boxer dog

Heres my latest felt

He stands a little taller than the others at about 6 inches and he is a brindle boxer dog

I tried again to give his nose more texture by adding nail varnish to it - Im much happier with the effect this time

He is solidly felted with just a little wire in his legs

any ideas for a name?

Ben agility, Prestwick

Our first agility show in almost a year

Our first show in grade 5

Errm and our last show in grade 5!! Ben only went and won out!

2 first places, a 2nd and a 3rd!!

Not the best handling by me but great running by my little boy.

Our speeds are getting much better as well - In jumping grade 1-4 combined we were the fastest of all the dogs by over 5s.

But we are a good way off the times of the grade 5 and 6 dogs - something to work on

So pleased by my little boy - and loving the more difficult courses

Donkey

Donkey has big dreams

He knows he is a little knock kneed

but he dreams one day he will be a great show jumper

All your pillows they will be mine!!

The little lady likes her comfort but I think she is taking things a little far nesting all the cushions together :)

A beardie splat

I was asked to see if I could splat a bearded collie

A challenge for a splat because they are a hairy dog and I try and have no loose hairs on a splat as it is designed to be used

Hope I captured the shaggy dog ness here :)
