Giant Flea!

pinklizzy · 28-05-2008, 10:33 PM

For National Flea Week (19th-25th May) our practice decided to put up a display in the waiting room, I volunteered to make a papier mache flea. I soon regretted this as I made my design far too complex and it took me about 1 month to complete. Anyway, as promised (I think to Eileen and Angie!) here it is!

On the theme of making things, since I've been off work this week, I've been knitting! Here's what I made today,

The pink one has cellophane and stuffing and the other has catnip.

DM-I just knitted a square,folded it in half and sewed up the side seam. Then stuffed it from the top and stitched that up too. I made up a pattern for the ears. It's quite good fun actually, it only takes about 1hr to make each one. I've made one for all my colleagues cats.

They are lucky! I used to make little home-made hand-sewn mice, but it's odd, since I've retired I seem to have less time than I did while working!

Of course, that was in the pre-Catsey days..

The flea is clever, but those mice are really cute!
