I decided that filling out my BAS statement was way too boring a job for a Sunday afternoon. (Hi to our friends out there from the ATO by the way, I promise I’ll get to it this week…probably…) So anyway, it’s amazing how creative I feel when I really have much more serious issues at hand. I like to call this phenomenon ‘Productive Procrastination’. It differs from my run of the mill type of procrastination (see prev. post) in that my house ends up a lot cleaner…amazing how the prospect of defrosting the freezer holds much more appeal than filling out my tax return. At least my fridge gets cleaned once a year!
They were made from unwanted knitwear that I felted in my washing machine. I have been collecting it for a while waiting for the perfect project to come along. I also made a stripey bear but he went to a new home before I could take the photo.
I really love recycling materials, it gives me a real buzz to think that I have reduced waste and created something special in the process.
They are too cute. I love the flowery eyes.
We could make a great team. I create lots of felted woollens as I love really fine gauge knit tops, but am too lazy to wash them by hand. (gentle cycle on the washing machine is not “good enough”). I therefore have lots of felted or shrunken tops. Now I know what to do with them – I’ll give them to you!
These are absolutely gorgeous! I love them – thank you ATO.
They are very cute!
So sweet Cintia – I love the eyes. Maybe you could call them Costello and Wayne after the two federal treasurers!!
Hurrah for procrastination!
they’re looovely!
oooohh they are super cute! I actually did my tax today LOL I have been putting off for weeks
only have to pay them a bit so not too bad!
Argh, the dreaded BAS. I’ve been working on mine too, and still have a walletfull of receipts to include. Such a drag – but great the way it inpsires you to do something, anything rather than finishing it. Your softies are a much better result.
Those are super cute bears! And they look so cuddly and huggable too!
By the way I have tagged you with a meme about why you craft/create if you are interested in joining in
