Lovely things

 I was very lucky yesterday as two lovely things arrived in the post.  First was a blog giveaway that I entered and was really lucky to win!  I think the book is a little beyond my current knitting skills (as the only thing I can knit is a scarf) but it may well inspire me to greater things. My sisters and my mum are very good knitters, so the book may well be passed round so that we can all benefit. Many thanks to the lovely Joy at Welcome to Daisy Row for this prize.

The second lovely thing to arrive was this gorgeous little felt sculpture of Scruffy, from Robyn in America who was my Peacefelt receiver (you sign up and are given the name of someone who will send a piece of felt work to you and the name of someone who you send a piece of felt work to.)  Robyn received my felt landscape and sent me this to say thank you (which isn't part of the PeaceFelt process, but was extremely kind of her).  She said she used my blog photos of Scruffy and here he is!

 The real Scruffy would never stay still with a bird on his head!  The figure has lovely eyes and white whiskers and a little metal collar tag.  There is also some of Robyn's dog's fur incorporated too.

So, what did the real Scruffy make of his namesake?  He sniffed at it very intently and a second after this photo was taken, he tried to bite it.  I hurriedly rescued it from his clutches.  So, thank you very much, Robyn, from big Scruffy, little Scruffy and me!
