FNWF The Fox

I started sewing up the fox on Friday night but had to finish him off on Saturday. I like sewing during the day better.
He was a little bit fiddly but after struggling to sew on the snout with a straight needle I decided the curved needle would make it easier to attach the ears and legs. The instructions say sew on the tail with the button and that's it. I ended up sewing the button on the tail then attaching the tail with the curved needle.
He is quite dashing I think.

The neighbour's cat just had to see what was happening during the photo shoot.

I have been admiring this book by Amy Adams for over a year now. Since this is my year for buying books and patterns I now own it. I just love all the little critters.
I don't have any knitted felted wool so I am going to have to use my woven felted wool and see how I go. It doesn't have the stretch that knitted fabric does so it may be harder to get the right shapes.
I have started the fox and hope to work through them in order.

Since changing over to a google+ profile I have become a no-reply blogger when I make comments. That's just the way it is. Luckily people I know have been replying because they must have my email address in their contacts already. Thanks to all these people.

I have also changed my comment section to google+ so anyone with a google+ profile can make a comment and decide who they want to see the comment. If it is just a normal comment I think public is fine. If you haven't signed up for google+ then you can't comment.
Leaving comments is part of the fun of blogging.
So...
