Fun fur haircut

The fun fur arrived in the post so I sat down to try and work out how to make the hair. It's really not the easiest wool to work with as you can't really see what you are doing but after looking at the forums on Ravelry I gave it a go

 The result was wild! So a haircut was definately in order

A bit better but I ended up giving him one more trim then I sewed on his eyes and mouth with embroidery thread and gave him a nose with the wool

He looks a bit wild still, might have to trim him again.

With the 2nd doll I decided to do the face first this time

I just need to do his hair now as I have already knitted the 2nd suit. I am currently 'blocking' this so the edges don't curl up then I will sew it together and have 2 finished karate figurines just in time for their 1st grading on friday

Meanwhile the decoupage has run aground as after the Marvel comics arrived (sourced from ebay, 5 mags for £2) my lovely kids fell on them and made me promise not to cut them up until after they had all read them.

The paper roll bowl is progressing but at a very slow rate. I am finding it a bit tedious so am doing it in small bursts. I try to make at least 5 a day so it could take a while but it is growing...

Also the card for the wedding name cards have arrived so I can make a start on them now.

I do have more time at the moment as my contract has ended but I still need to train the puppy and empty the loft. Whilst emptying yesterday I rediscovered all my old patchwork templates and some fabrics including fabric I bought in Australia over a decade ago to make Chris a great beer label shirt so I think my next project may already be found. I just need to get the sewing machine serviced first but for now back to making hair.

Happy Crafting!
