newest creation

SHOW AND TELL TIME
This kitty in this box is named "Shadow".. therefore.. this is a shadow box! hahahaha!!. I just kill me sometimes!
(sound like you dont I bambi!?) Anyways, I made this for a special friends birthday which is this friday.. I dont think I can wait that long to give it to her though! this needle felting is addictive! I hope my Brenda birthday girl likes it!
and this.. I have no idea what I'll do with it. I had the little bear, its not one that I made, but I thought Id dress it up a little for halloween and make her a pincushion to sit on.. She might end up as part of one of my halloween swaps..
Ok.. now on to regular life.. Yesterday was daughter Jens birthday. And she was in a musical, Your a good man Charlie brown. She played Sally Brown. She was so funny! I wish I could have video'd some of it.. but I forgot to!! I pretty much missed the hole 3rd act of the show because I'm on call this weekend and had a situation to deal with.. at least I didnt have to leave! I could go again today to see it, but I have sooo much stuff that needs to be done here and I have to do a homevisit for work... All of which I should be doing instead of hanging around here!
Jens Godmother, who is my dear friend from JR High days... came to her show, then we went out to eat at Perkins afterwords! Doesnt she look soooo young!? I swear she looks exactly the same as she did at 14!!! Honestly!!
Anyways.. thats all for now .. I really have to do something constructive!!
Enjoy your Sunday everyone!
OOOHHH! one more thing!
go to FatJakOriginals for a wonderful fall giveaway.. she is absolutely so talented.. you'll just want to check out her blog anyways! you will love her artwork... I promise!

Love the Shadow box, and your funny!

My kids tell me it's a good thing I tickle myself, because no one else thinks it's funny (but when I start laughing, they can't help themselves).

I am so in love with Shadow and your shadow box art! That is sooo cute and I still am in awe that thats your 1st needle felting creation! I wonder- is the book thorough? I have it on my wish list too and wonder if it's pretty good at step by step explaining?
Too often I get disappointed when I buy a "how-to" book and discover that it still doesn't get to the basics.
I'm more of a visual learner and it helps if the books are REALLY a "how to" book. Know what I mean? (I know it made sense when I thought it) *lol*
The Charlie brown cast pic is darling! Looks like a lot fun. I was in drama in JR high & HS and I had a great time!
Have fun needle felting! Your doing GREAT!!
