Day 32 – Felting experiment. My daughter saw the mess and said “Hey mom, if that doesn’t work out, it could be a mouse.” Reluctantly…OK, it’s a mouse. (Taken with instagram)

Day 30 – Felted wool ball with needle felted appliqué. A bell inside makes it more fun to play with. (Taken with instagram)

Day 28 – Felted (shrunk) an XXL sweater, altered it to be A-line body and sleeves, and added felted appliqué to cover a few holes. (Taken with instagram)

Day 27 – Finished the plush creature despite challenges sewing with a new machine. Plushy is currently getting lots of love from my daughter. (Taken with instagram)

Day 25 – Computer model of a table design. (Taken with instagram)

Day 24 – Prototype of felted wool ball chair. I prefer the concept sketch, but the handmade process dictated several modifications. I’ll keep trying. (Taken with instagram)

Day 23 – building a model of another chair design with a felted wool base. I have no idea how I will create the hole shown in the sketch… (Taken with instagram)
