Audrey has been busy

Audrey came to class on Wednesday night with so much to show us! It is so motivating to see what the girls achieve. Audrey is getting wonderful bag patterns every six weeks from the  Bagalicious Club at Quilt Fabric Delights. Doesn't it look lovely.

 

She has also finished the beautiful felt needlecase. It looks fantastic, Audrey.

And here is the little felt robot.

Just check out this lovely felt cat. She has done so well considering she has lots of kids including a little fellow!

A very cute robot

Here is the little felt robot all finished! He was such fun to stitch. Here he is sitting with some of the girls' old books. I went through kids books the other day thinking I would take some to the op shop but didn't find many to donate as they held such nice memories. So many of them were their favourites. I can use the excuse that I sometimes use them at school on the odd days that I teach (I don't do that very often these days).

Here he is again. I think he might have to visit Hobbysew and sit near Anni's lovely book.

Here are some of the books on the shelf in the spare room. I do love books!

A fun project

I bought this delightful book, "A Boy's Story" by Anni Downes, a while ago and have wanted to make this little robot! Last week I found some time and perused the pattern.

I got out the easyfix and the laminator to make the templates.

Luckily I had some lovely felt colours to play with in my stash.

Here are the pieces cut out ready to do the fun bit and stitch. Felt is so lovely to work with. I have started to stitch and will show you the results soon.

I completely forgot to take pictures of the kids crafting on Friday. It was a bit busy! I did clay with them and they had fun making all sorts of odd things. They liked making bird's nests and eggs and I ended up making birds for the nests. They could also make some great beaded barefoot thongs which were really popular with the girls, do woodwork, colour and cut, paint on fabric, make papier mache fish and make some stitched cards. They enjoyed themselves.
