He loves giraffes and, she wanted to surprise him with something really special. I agreed but had never made such a structure before so, I felt a bit unsure yet was glad for the challenge...or so I thought.<br /><br />I started out with the natural, cotton pipecleaners and began wrapping with wool as the pic shows above.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF9ZK0Yj-QsntlVWewHL3AKAfilHkLF5hLIfQ64ONnv5-klr5S6y8hyuGHNmCQ3FTZztspLL6L8jmvP3cA2DiScdyhPGkVbDaqWR0aiwxS25kLnsOTVd2ML-JaASs8OFKurube3dN-rnuX/s1600/g-mdl1c.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 353px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF9ZK0Yj-QsntlVWewHL3AKAfilHkLF5hLIfQ64ONnv5-klr5S6y8hyuGHNmCQ3FTZztspLL6L8jmvP3cA2DiScdyhPGkVbDaqWR0aiwxS25kLnsOTVd2ML-JaASs8OFKurube3dN-rnuX/s400/g-mdl1c.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5648716138411272482" border="0" />Then,</a><br />I continued wrapping the white wool and realized I had better look at pictures of giraffes so I could continue to sculpt the correct physique.

Now all told, this project took me sixty-five hours...YES the big 65...and I was burned out with needlefelting. This giraffe is rock solid and can be played with gently. My children have needlefelted animals and if they are not rock solid, they often fray and do not last as long as I would like. Therefore, I decided to make this as durable as I possibly could. <br /><br />My girlfriend really likes this creation, so did everyone else who saw it whether during the process and/or as a finished project, and her son adores his giraffe...HOWEVER...I must ask you mamas out there...is there a quicker, easier way to get a finished project? Although crafting is almost always a labor of love, does it mean less than a dollar an hour for time? I figured this is what I made after sixty-five hours. Any help is appreciated and, I always adore your comments!liebchenhuthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12152918676908491888noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019043005229116584.post-32403821403370884862011-09-03T09:56:00.018-06:002011-09-03T12:11:23.759-06:00Summer Musings<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDjQQCgqSjlRkLWUC0GfXW27pYHg1lGSTmmrgqrgDGIF6lhFhvbNZc5rVRQFLli5k764LRZHGQxjBwpBnHzuGr3dQyl-3CuiJYBe9B0awXA71jQ1HaEKv6dcGQAdo09uHxSkqPCkTBGYSm/s1600/swarmingc.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDjQQCgqSjlRkLWUC0GfXW27pYHg1lGSTmmrgqrgDGIF6lhFhvbNZc5rVRQFLli5k764LRZHGQxjBwpBnHzuGr3dQyl-3CuiJYBe9B0awXA71jQ1HaEKv6dcGQAdo09uHxSkqPCkTBGYSm/s400/swarmingc.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5648190807853909074" border="0" /></a>Our first swarm from one of our hives...

Here's the scoop...When she and our other liebchens made a fairy pouch for <a href="http://fairychildheirlooms.wordpress.com/2010/01/03/a-fairy-went-a-marketing-swap/">Missy's Fairy Pouch Swap</a>, one of her participant's, <a href="http://countryclubflowers.blogspot.com/">Kat</a>, asked Missy about the rabbit, hedgie, and other items sewn on our pouch...well, one thing led to another and Kat placed an order with Seraphima: five inch owl, five inch rabbit, three inch hedgie all to scale. Seraphima worked and worked finding time around her schooling to needlefelt these cuties. She decided she wanted to send an extra gift or two to say thank you for the order, hence the felted acorns and a sweet thank you note. She tagged the items with little stories for each critter, wrapped them carefully in tissue paper and packed them with love...she had a hard time parting with them...she is hopeful Kat loves them!! By the way Kat, what are you going to use them for? :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQJgsSd99oR4mHXCdnxhq0GzFKFD6YxJlbweeSA72PCUC_X-_4hnb04l5oDzxiilxPnGmU1B_BBZ8bwcRRHRD7O6Pt0XthNVtdHQCf87CoUDeAZm2MW-oHwHtJ3D55CIhDEoiwCYXHQ6bx/s1600/sera1.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQJgsSd99oR4mHXCdnxhq0GzFKFD6YxJlbweeSA72PCUC_X-_4hnb04l5oDzxiilxPnGmU1B_BBZ8bwcRRHRD7O6Pt0XthNVtdHQCf87CoUDeAZm2MW-oHwHtJ3D55CIhDEoiwCYXHQ6bx/s320/sera1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467149640018905362" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTyuzz600R-4ElrSna17mmIVsqbND_4K0lN89gCbD2lbmVkfpojrMFg-4X7s7qbySTX-gCt3C7QeCayzlWrWq_Pd2m3OTV3WaZvJes9SqufuMK5H7xmc9mfOUZDioyjRrAKs5Ayu_RUYCa/s1600/sera2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTyuzz600R-4ElrSna17mmIVsqbND_4K0lN89gCbD2lbmVkfpojrMFg-4X7s7qbySTX-gCt3C7QeCayzlWrWq_Pd2m3OTV3WaZvJes9SqufuMK5H7xmc9mfOUZDioyjRrAKs5Ayu_RUYCa/s320/sera2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467149505052312562" border="0" /></a>Rabbit found a carrot and turned to look at hedgie because she did not want to share her carrot...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI11OSBtCLQN5lYEKuaAbIiCVx1WfLb6SlUKvgCEHNqDGAUbelyijfesBDDzdTA_gCyM5JnU3UX9KX53qpMGpM-4jDZcLe05RDgAM3WzTl1_4rFzpMj4E6Z_I4vA66v5-dPm8tiaSmR2lm/s1600/sera3.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 292px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI11OSBtCLQN5lYEKuaAbIiCVx1WfLb6SlUKvgCEHNqDGAUbelyijfesBDDzdTA_gCyM5JnU3UX9KX53qpMGpM-4jDZcLe05RDgAM3WzTl1_4rFzpMj4E6Z_I4vA66v5-dPm8tiaSmR2lm/s320/sera3.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467149378348026562" border="0" /></a>Owl stares into the night...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_QdGsQwL9qXBjydZ2lu89JvYCjegyt59HF2atrVeJ2qgv9SGhrUVeOpmBF6KgZbqKuWgF-x1_aMMOYNiQJHH669Fjl5iMuJzM0CYQECempw7Padg-sZBich1QFi-d26OFIM8tLIYdt6xW/s1600/sera4.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_QdGsQwL9qXBjydZ2lu89JvYCjegyt59HF2atrVeJ2qgv9SGhrUVeOpmBF6KgZbqKuWgF-x1_aMMOYNiQJHH669Fjl5iMuJzM0CYQECempw7Padg-sZBich1QFi-d26OFIM8tLIYdt6xW/s320/sera4.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467149239534842514" border="0" /></a>Hedgie sniffs Rabbit's carrot hoping for a nibble...liebchenhuthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12152918676908491888noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019043005229116584.post-7605049968346921742010-04-29T21:37:00.019-06:002010-04-29T22:13:32.365-06:00Easter Take Two<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDh0FJQg94EDKGYW901PL8mEZ0F10CHl9xfASpRd5xQgxa1Xz2xRKzE1FwqUW7HKPEcwBH6Kt9HgiwWgVppwWqsX8i-ggG1KbmBYzh7okKHikxD5pj8I2VgTC9_TAfg18Jr94e0XdBwwqm/s1600/10970.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDh0FJQg94EDKGYW901PL8mEZ0F10CHl9xfASpRd5xQgxa1Xz2xRKzE1FwqUW7HKPEcwBH6Kt9HgiwWgVppwWqsX8i-ggG1KbmBYzh7okKHikxD5pj8I2VgTC9_TAfg18Jr94e0XdBwwqm/s320/10970.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465771941714145906" border="0" /></a>The Lord's gift to all of us, opening up the gates of heaven after the curse of damnation that befell Adam and Eve onto all mankind and trampling upon this death, must be proclaimed to the whole world.

It is one of our apricot trees beginning to blossom forth on this precious Easter Sunday! We never have apricots due to our high altitude but we are blessed with amazingly fragrant blossoms beauty to smell and see, if we do not get a late freeze which can happen, just ask the various honey bees and bumble bees that visit here for tasty treats...they'll tell ya'.<br /><br />The writing on this photo is church <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Slavonic</span>, an ancient worship language which does not have any profane words nor can any be devised; a <span class="blsp-spelling-error">splendid</span> language to praise our God, and means- Christ Is Risen!...Truly Christ Is Risen! We proclaim this saying to the entire world for the fifty days of Easter.<br /><br />Easter for both the Julian calendar and Gregorian calendar is celebrated today, Sunday, the fourth of April, 2010. It is an early Easter for the Julian calendar. The Julian calendar is the old calendar and comes from the time of <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Julius</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Caesar</span>. The Gregorian calendar is the newer calendar and comes from the time of Pope Gregory. We celebrate according to the Julian calendar, so our Easter is based on the calculations of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error">jewish</span> passover and the phases of the moon. Therefore, we do not always celebrate Easter when those who follow the Gregorian calendar do and vice <span class="blsp-spelling-error">versa</span>. In addition, our Easter, the Big Easter, lasts for fifty days and every Sunday of the year is a small Easter! How wonderful to remember the biggest gift, Jesus Christ's resurrection so His chosen can spend eternity in His heavenly mansions, all year for the small Easters and fifty days straight for the Big Easter.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4FXJz0tfWXcAFD_ylP4pZi0ol9TZSC1ePjOnYPwc9-5OEqsuZJ6koOLwZ5RNjHDPVYfRR_CVxp89mdnwZ1f_xqHUWeyvAeHU0r2dbI4T_7loqdIOo0K9sGbyvZjYcLiN_gWEQcl9-mpit/s1600/Easter+display.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4FXJz0tfWXcAFD_ylP4pZi0ol9TZSC1ePjOnYPwc9-5OEqsuZJ6koOLwZ5RNjHDPVYfRR_CVxp89mdnwZ1f_xqHUWeyvAeHU0r2dbI4T_7loqdIOo0K9sGbyvZjYcLiN_gWEQcl9-mpit/s320/Easter+display.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456507987367965234" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Our traditions for Easter are many.
