Ferret
Stuffed ferret, 25 centimetre length and 13 cm height.
Furry coat of creme and chocolate, with felt nails.
This is a trial-made ferret.
I think the face and body should be longer.
But the shorter is pretty.
I haven't seen a genuine ferret. But I've seen a lot of books about ferrets.
Generally, a ferret's face seems to be round at the front, and sharp in the profile.

Mickey Mouse
Felt mascot of Mickey Mouse. 9.5 centimetres.
It cannot stand.
The making process is the same as Stitch.

Moreover, we can buy cheaper and better goods at a Disney shop.
Addition:
Its tail is a thread.

Jaffa cake
Once I visited London.
I had heard that there is not delicious food in England.
I didn't think it was truth. I found Jaffa cakes.
In my country, it is difficult to get Jaffa cakes.
Perhaps I can buy one at an import shop, but it must be high.
And I need to diet.
I made Jaffa and cookies of felt, eat them by eyes.

Weak knife
The other day, I tried to remove a core (stalk?) of a cabbage.
I stuck a kitchen knife into the cabbage. When I pulled it out, I saw the tip of the edge disappeared.
I could not find the fragment after all. Is it in my stomach?
Anyway a tip of knife is not so necessary for cooking.
A felt caterpillar with a red ribbon on her head. 3.5 inches length.

Tissue cover
Why not cover a simple tissue paper box with a handkerchief?
The hankie is not cut, so you can restore it as before.
I used marking pins. Because I would unwrap it soon.
But it may be danger. Use safety pin, or sew it roughly.
Place a box on diagonally.
Wrap and spread.
Twist a corner to be like a flower.
This is a Nina Rich handkerchief.
Fold the hanky and place a box on.
Wrap the box and spread the sides.

Uchiwa
When you walk in business quarters, you will be handed various PR goods --- mini tissue, ball-point pen, candies, coffee whitener, sample of sanitary napkin, and uchiwa.
Uchiwa is a kind of Japanese fan.
Traditional uchiwa is made of wood and paper.
This is a plastic bone.
It's not that I want to advertise Yahoo in the town.
So I changed its cover.
First, soak it in water, and remove paper.
Second, glue a handkerchief or paper etc. on the bone (both sides).
Last, trim off an excess.

Mantis
We hear that female mantis eats male after mating.
But the truth is more horrible. It's not only after.
She sometimes eats her husband before or during mating.
If so, the wedding will be aborted.
Don't worry. Insects are tough.
The bride starts to bite food from the head.
A headless mantis can mate. And even if he loses the head and the breast, it is possible for a while.
Praying mantis of light green felt.
Wires are in the limbs.

Safe clothes
I have no kid.
I didn't know regulations about children's clothes until reading today's paper.
There are some dangerous parts, for example, a hood, strings or fasteners.
String may hang a baby.
In Japan, there is not any rule.
In Europe, the regulation seems strict.
Sometimes I make kids' clothes. All are for life-size dolls.
I posted them on my sewing site. Some of my clothes are bad for kids.
If you make clothes for your kid, you should replace strings by Velcro etc.
This is for a doll.
