A Hamster???

Have any of you discovered the new craft magazine out of the UK, Mollie Makes? The sixth issue just came out in England, not here in the US yet, but I am watching for it! The first five issues have the most adorable projects in them! Mostly little projects that can be whipped up in an afternoon..... sewing & quilting projects, little felt projects, crochet... So the other day Ally saw a picture online of a little felt hamster & said "oooh I want one!" LOL really? A Hamster? Well, this is the only kind of hamster she'll ever have in my house, I can tell you that! Then I realized that the pattern was in the most recent issue of Mollie Makes. So yesterday I pulled out my felt scraps and made Ally a hamster....

Ally named it Jorge. Really? I pointed out that it is definitely a girl hamster (note the flower) but she insists on calling it Jorge the Hamster Whatever! Oh, and by the way, this hamster is less than 2 inches tall! Talk about a tiny hamster... it was fun to make & took me less than an hour.


Keep your eyes open for this cool magazine. I found it at Barnes & Noble....
