Little Felted Things

Yesterday I was talking to my mum and she asked if I had made anything since the weekend, I told her I had made a little felted pumpkin. She reminded me that I was a little out of season, to which I agreed but said the orange wool inspired me to make the pumpkin - now. We don't always have to make holiday or seasonal items just prior to the event do we?
Good - because the other item I made was a technique of felting inside a shaped form. I used a cookie cutter in the shape of a rabbit. I know Easter's over and I don't know what I'll do with it now, but it was more of the experiment to try out a new technique more than anything. Perhaps I'll sew it to something, or felt it into some wool fabric and create a scene with flowers and grass, etc
I'm also working on a felted dog, but he's not ready to be shown yet.

UUUUUGHHHH! LOVE THAT PUMPKIN!! Oh, it's so cute. I'm afraid I will be copying this little guy for myself come the fall. I hope you don't mind. It's so cute, I can barely stand it. Nicely done! You're a genius.
