Board Games - Wingspan Asia

 

Wingspan Asia finally arrived and I've been able to play the new Duet option with the gorgeous new birds.  This counts for Clause 4 "Play a game created this year", and also for the 'Animals' category.

Craft Badge - Felting

Image
 The next craft I tried was Felting.  In the book it just says "Felting", it doesn't specify whether this is needle felting, wet felting, making things from felt...  I already needle felt, and have wet-felted with various levels of success, so I decided that I would "make something from felt".  Hawthorn Handmade sell brooch kits under ' Felt Craft ' which is separate from 'Needle Felting' on their website.  I chose the hedgehog .

This is month three of six.  I've done alright so far with two hand-me-down long sleeved tops ready for the autumn and a long skirt from Mind that I can wear in the autumn. Clause 5 - Learn to fix items that you would otherwise t...

A Chicken Crosses a Road...

30. A Chicken crossing a road 18. A piece of tech from the 2000s 24. Something naughty 7. The strangest item you can find in a charity shop 30. I wasn't going to take my chickens into the road, so my daughter and I drew roads onto the patio, complete with roundabout and bushes.  Apparently chickens don't really like crossing roads, so this was the best photo I took.  Thanks to Lavender for attempting to cooperate!  BokBok. 18. You are supposed to be using the piece of tech, but I don't think it even works. 24. We are looking after a fellow Rebels assorted creatures at the moment. This is the aptly-named Nibbles who took a bite of my daughter's finger. Naughty naughty. 7.  This is a large fluffy bouncy ball.  One of a pair in Wood Green Animal Sanctuary charity shop.
