About this time last year I decided to start my Christmas shopping. I wanted to get an early start as I knew I'd be busy and didn't want to have panic attacks at the last minute wondering what to buy/make people.
So where did I start shopping?
"I purchased a few needle felting kits including the "Red Fox".
I gave my Mum the Red Fox kit as she loves foxes...
The last time Mum and Dad came to visit Mum presented me with her very first "Red Fox". Not bad for a first attempt. You can probably guess, by this first attempt, that my Mum is pretty clever with her hands too!
At first, I refused to accept it but then she said, "don't worry there's enough in the kit to make about 6 so I'll keep going until I get one perfect!!!"
I don't know about you, but I think this one is pretty perfect.I haven't started my Christmas shopping for this year yet.
Have you?

Your Mum's fox is really clever! I can't believe that anyone is thinking about Christmas already!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathryn,
ReplyDeleteLove the fox, looks just like a real one. If your mum is going for perfection, she got it right first go!

So cleverness and craftiness is in the gene pool, it seems! Your Mum's first attempt looks pretty spot-on to me. Waht a fab present.
ReplyDeleteYOu have me a tad inspired for my next holiday project. I've never tried needle felting.
