two little friends

Felting is almost all I get done at the moment
(not that that is bad)
and it's clear that I didn't buy at Hawar 
all the colours that I "need"

Of course I can  use another kind of wool
(of thát I have enough)
but I've noticed
that the "Bergschafwolle" is very good
when making figures !

This is Katy the Cat all finished
and looking around in the garden
(standing by my late-blooming Allium)

Two days ago

she was still swimming in a vinegar bath
and later drying on the kitchen counter
(still without eyes)

But she needed her little friend Beaky Boo to join her !


So I googled,
found lots of pictures of Puffins,
and made a little sketch to remember him well

which really came in handy
.....

(well you see : he LOVES to play hide and seek ...)

but Katy loves to play along with his games ...
that's what friends are for !

(And, o joy, Jude is starting up some teaching again
hope I can find some time to work along !!!)
