Yom Kippur and that new baby smell

Today is the last day of our High Holy days, the start of Jewish New Year. I took the day off work of course, planning to spend the day at temple and in reflection. I got an awesome surprise this morning, my brother and his family arrived really late last night. I woke up to my new niece (who is now roughly a month old) and my little nephew. So precious. The best way to celebrate our New Year, with my whole family here. The last year has been filled with so much change. I cannot wait for next year to start. :)

Make my first feltie

I bought "The cute book" and "Zombie felties" because I wanted to break in my new sewing machine and the Toad wanted to learn to sew. So, this is the first attempt. Learned a few valuable lessons.

1. Don't use red pen on white felt. You can see the smudge up by the ears from tracing the head.

2. Any and all felties I make will be stolen by the Toad almost before I finish the last stitch.

3. I need to make alot more of these and start playing with it.

The zombie felties book will have to wait for a short while as most of my art supplies are (sigh) still packed. We should be unpacked sometime between now and the New year, I hope. On the upside, the Toad looked at the books and has already begun to make his own creations off hte ideas he saw there. I will take some pictures of his later and add them. Super cute.
