The Zinnia flower child

I just was asked to make a little flower fairy for a girl named Zinnia.

Since she has a little Asian heritage I tried to make the eyes look not as round

as usually.

The dress is all flower petals inspired by the Zinnia flower.

Almost Easter! Fast schon Ostern!

 Since I was late with my post at Christmas last year.

I thought I would rather be in time for Easter

So I started a series of my Easter bunny collection.

Inspired by the wonderful illustrator Anita Jeram.

The christmas elf! Der Weihnachtswichtel!

I know it is quite late to post this little christmas elf.

But I finished him finally just yesterday.

I planned to felt him much earlier, the plan was to post him right to christmas and wish everybody a wonderful holiday season!

I actually did felt  just the base figure

without the clothes much earlier, but then all the orders came in. 

No more time to finish what I had started.

The reindeer was already finished (no clothes) and waited paitently.

On the first day of christmas I finally had time to sit down and  relax but then the reindeer was looking at me reproachfully and remembered me that I had started this little elf for him.

I looked in the box where I usally keep the raw figures, no one there.

I started to clean my big work table I hoped  he would show up under the piles of wool.

Nothing.

Then I had nagging thaught, did I maybe used him for my orders?

But then I would have had to cut off his ears in order to use him, I could not remember doing this to any figure.

Then finally I already had given up, I thaught maybe he must have accidently gone into the trash.

I opened my old sewing box in search for a wing pattern for an angel.

There he was hiding!

So finally Rudolf has his friend!

I wish you all a wonderfull Happy New Year!
