Fourth Clue

A sweet little brown bear:
He’s made from the beautiful alpaca roving I used for the tree in the Valentine’s Calendar. It’s wonderfully soft, but it took a LOT of needling to get it to really felt together. I didn’t notice it so much on the little mouse, but the bear was harder. Still, it’s beautiful, and it’s nice to have seen the animals from whom the roving comes and know they are well-loved. Certainly worth the extra effort!
Are you making animals from “The Mitten” by Jan Brett? That’s what I would do with all these cuties! I love your mole!
Oooh, great guess! Going to look at our copy of the The Mitten to see what little critter might be next….
Yay! You guessed it, Ellen! Lynn, thank you so much for reading and commenting! I really appreciate it!
Hey, Em! I’m finally catching up on blog-reading, and LOVE the critters you’re making! The Mitten is such a lovely book, and I’m thrilled to see the alpaca roving made into such adorable things. Thanks also for the PB mention!
