Birthday Presents

I made these for my son's 5th birthday. Don't feel bad for him, he also got a remote control race car, from plastic, not wool! Oh, and a new baby sister, too!

Finger Puppet Workshop and New Tigers

Here's a little update of what I've been up to lately. 

I've been working on a new finger puppet workshop, trying to figure out a way to make a complete finger puppet set in one session of 3-4 hours. Here's what I came up with:

And here are the newest members of the 'Lazy Animal's gang: tigers! 

The Makerie

Here's somewhere I really wish I could be: The Makerie, a creative retreat in Boulder Colorado! A beautiful, peaceful place, so many classes I wish I could go to, to learn new skills and techniques taught by amazing teachers - giant stenciled floor pillows, painting, pattern design, embroidery, pajaki paper chandeliers. All these and more: wake-up yoga and hiking; healthy, local, organic delicious meals, too! Could be the perfect weekend! If you can't go, be sure to check out these cool video classes.

Penguins

Special winter edition lazy friends! They were originally made as a custom order for a wedding photography studio, surprisingly named "Penguin Studio", but will also soon be available in a mobile or a shadow box at the shop.

Wishing a happy, warm and cozy holiday to all Lazy Animals friends and followers!

Shana Tova

Sweet and happy new Jewish year!

A Gift and a Resolution

I've been meaning to share this ever since I got it, for myself, as a birthday present last May. It's a hand crocheted pot holder, made by Belgian textile artist Renilde Depeuter. Here are a few more of her beautiful works (Oh how I wish it was winter and I could sit on one of these cushions, or simply gaze at it for hours). Renilde's blog, At Swim-Two-Birds, is definitely one I love to return to again and again to absorb inspiration and beauty.

And my new resolution is to try to post here weekly. I'm sharing this with you because I think  keeping my word might be a good incentive. See you next week then!

More New Friends

 

Introducing unicorns, sloths and otters. 

There's a lot going on and I hope to have some more updates soon. I'm working on photos of my newest lazy friends, some of which have been posted here before, but I have not listed them in the shop yet, and a new website that will hopefully be launched in a few weeks. 

I'm also planning a giveaway to celebrate the new website, but I have not decided what I'm going to give away. So, this is a good opportunity to let me know what's on your wish list!

Oh, and please join Lazy Animals on Instagram!

Three New Friends

Some pics for those of you who are not following my facebook page yet. These guys are available now here, here, and here, and will soon be available in couples and sets along with a shadow box home, or a hanging mobile. 

I am working on a few more friends - a unicorn, an otter, and finally a sloth - the original 'lazy animal'. Hopefully some of these will also be featured here soon! Any other suggestions for new animals from my darling blog readers will be warmly considered!

When You're a Dog

 

These guys are going to be starring in a music video! A very special collaboration which I am so excited to be taking part in. More details soon!

Anteaters

Right on time for Valentine's Day, here's a first sneak peek at the newest lazy friends - anteaters! They will soon be available in the shop. Happy Valentine's day!
