Mami's New Hobby

Unlike Rob who has many hobbies, reading, writing and getting fit, I don’t have many hobbies. About 5 years ago, I was introduced to scrapbooking, and I have made 5 albums since. But scrapbooking is not a popular hobby in Japan. Therefore it’s hard to find stuff and even I have found some paper, it’s very expensive. Last 2 months, I have basically stayed home and enjoyed baking bread, cooking dinner, going shopping and cleaning the house (only once a week). Yes, even ENJOYED cleaning the house!! I love my lazy life but I wanted to start something new …So I found a new hobby!! I made this little bunny out of a woollen ball & felt. I pull the woollen ball apart and make a little wool ball with hands. Then all you need to soak it in a bowl of soapy water and rolled into a sphere! It takes 10 minutes to make a 100% wool ball. After it dries, I add other body parts which made out of felt. I always loved hands-on thing.

Now I made 4 bunnies, 4 kittens and 2 bears, and planning to make a lot more, I decided to sell them at a flea market. I always wanted to have my little shop so it is a great opportunity for me. My family has a few unwanted things (old toys, clothes and plates etc) to sell. I will be selling my little creations at the shop as well.
