The other day I was looking on Amazon.com for some craft books and I came across "Zombie Felties" by Nicola Tedman & Sarah Skeate. The cover alone is enough to make you "SQUEE"! (Think I'm kidding? Go to Amazon and look it up!) So I ran over to the bookstore and scooped it up. As I was checking out the cashier did her own "SQUEE"ing, so I knew it was a hit. Zombies are cute, I don't care what anyone says. I waited all week to do this project. I cut out the template during the week, that was pretty time consuming, because these pieces are small, tiny even! And with my sausage fingers, I was a bit worried, but I was determined, and determination can overcome chubby fingers!
The pieces of the dog and the bone are felt, the eyes are beads, the head is stuffed with toy stuffing, the black/white nose, pink gums and blood on the bone are all sewn with embroidery thread. The dog and bone are put together with some craft glue and hand sewing, and I had a BLAST! I really enjoyed this project, even though our dog Izzy tried to eat a skein of thread and one of the cats decided to roll all over the cut pieces of felt and tried to walk away with felt pieces attached to his back. I forgive them....the project, with animal interference and laundry breaks took about 3 hours give or take. Now let the cuteness begin...
