This past weekend, Sally and I stocked up on felt, sewing needles and embroidery thread. We are making felt mascots from The Cute Book by Arani Aronzo! The monkey pictured above is our first complete mascot. I have also begun work on M-bot the felt robot. Behold his fuzzy cubical head on a tea cup and enjoy!
In celebration of the Fourth of July, I made a red, white and blue ice cream cake from Epicurious. It came out great! And was eaten in short order by several teenagers, adults, and children at Chris & Kip's BBQ. I used Strawberry, Lemon and Açai Berry Sorbets with Newman 0's, and yes even fresh whipped cream! Pure decadence for a special occasion. The photo of Elvis was taken at the Alameda antique fair last year. The Alameda antique fair for this month is tomorrow, should be fun!
Yes I have made some more puppets. This time I have created three small yeti stick puppets for use in my puppet show about super heroes. I considered adding furry arms with claws but time constraints kept it simple. Now what to create for Letter Z?
