Softies Central

Animals

Sweet animals made for love.

This designer is new to me and lives in Chipping Norton - I don't know where in
England that is but I want to go there! This little guy has a red Santa hat and a hot water bottle - looks like he's ready for a long Christmas eve night. You can always tell the best needlefelted pieces by how tight the wool is -- see how smooth he is and how you can't see the loose threads? It takes a lot of time and patience and skill to make such a nice softie. He's by redflannelelephant and unfortunately (for me!) was sold months ago.

Grey pretties

I love colored lights on Christmas trees and houses. Some people think blue or white lights are more sophisticated - that may be but when I see all the pretty bright colors on my tree, I remember my childhood holidays and wish for one more chance to go back there.
