I said that I would feature a post from a blog every week and link back to the blog when I do. I have just found this lovely little project and thought it would be a wonderful project to try. I have printed the template and shall be making one in the next day or two. I have stopped for a little break in the middle of getting the house ready for Christmas. The ornaments from the sitting room are neatly stashed in the spare bedroom and I have dusted and polished all the tops of the cupbaords. The cloud of dust over Nunthorpe was probably created by me... I hang my head in shame..
Anyway, take a look at the blog and let me know if you make one. I am always happy to feature other peoples makes on my page if you would like to share.

edit to show my horse.... I had to make one, the housework can wait. I cut mine from a cardboard box that arrived this morning from Amazon. I initially cut a piece of eyelash yarn to make the mane but it just looked flimsy and weak. I used it as a base to add some knitting yarn and the mane looks so much better. I have several pieces of a kind of flocked paper in my stash so I cut out the body parts from the paper and glued it onto the cardboard shapes. It has made it a lot 'cuddlier' to look at
This looks fun :-)
