The Cat with the green eyes

This adorable cat found us at kibuts "hefziba", near a great fish restaurant named "dag-dagan" (= the fish from the hive).
The children (3.5, 6) totaly loved him and he huged and kissed and really made them happy.

Pink Hair HORSE

This is our new pony, made from elastic flees, he can't stand so good but the children love him anyway.
My own conclusion is that felt is much better for horses!

Have a great day!

Fairy dust

Lately I have been making lots of wool fairies.

The wool is a soft natural material, and I never guess what would the fairy I make will exactly look like. It is a surprise!
Somehow, fairies always find owners who somehow looks a bit like the fairy. How?
I think it is magic!

Sock Dolls By Inbaliya

Are you also a proud member of the lost sock club?
If you have here and there a sock with no match, you can join the club!

the left pair can be up cycled to a nice toy or something useful as a bed snack or even toys filling!
Here are some of my sock creations!
Some are from new socks who were to small for my children, or to synthetic.

"Hi! nice to meet you! I am GoGo, and I am looking for new home!"

This adorable baby bunny is about 12cm long,
a Waldorf safe for babies doll with peaceful face.
All hand sewn by Inbaliya.

Sewing socks is a really nice hobby! Enjoy!
Here is a good tutorial by YAMA (Hebrew, Photos, I think anyone can understand it) and this is Yama's blog (check it out!)
