a very quiet ...



birthday

(that's what I had today,
but next week some more people will 
catch up !)


So Man and I had a flowery, quiet, but sunny day
after daughter and her dearest friend came by, 
before leaving on the Fast Ferry to Rotterdam,
bringing some very nice presents !!!


What a little treasure daughter found for me !

... the quick brown fox ...

 
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
.....
what an amazing sentence this is !
 
And who ever invented it ???
 
I remember when I first saw it
(waaaaaaaaay back in highschool probably)
I could hardly believe
that all the letters of the alphabet
are in such a short sentence !
(ha, check for yourself, if you don't believe me)
 
Here is another brown fox (though not so quick)
still soapy and wet
but nearly finished !
 
Making daughters wet felted cats was so much fun
that I couldn't wait to give it another go 
a fox this time.
(though Gabi's PDF is for cats,
a fox should be made in a similar way)
 
I love foxes
I love the way they walk, love their wit, love their colour.
 
I know : when you have a farm with chickens,
you probably don't love foxes.
It's a predator no doubt,
but lots of other beautiful animals are.
...
 
"The making of the fox" .....  with an interested spectator ...
(ah, the white blob on Bagheera's face was a spec of soap on the lens)
 
It'a a challenge to get two equally large ears !
 
Although I didn't have any black "Bergschafwolle"
the dark gray colour with which I " built" the frame
worked well enough
 
Here he is (or she) rinsed, dried in a towel, shaped again
and waiting till he's totally dry.
 
(Then the last akward job : making the nose mouth and eyes !
with a felting needle this time)
