Aren't these tiny felted slippers the cutest things you've ever seen?

Handcrafted by ffelt, these animals will keep the toes of

your favorite babies, toddlers and kiddies nice and toasty!

She uses fiber from the local alpacas that she helps care for and loves.

You can just imagine the softest of results!

Adorable Animal Pom Poms by Tsubasa Kuroda

I'm a huge fan of the pom pom, but, well... 

this takes things to an entirely new level of darling.

Tsubasa Kurdora, of Japan, created this adorable menagerie.

Bunnies, hedgehogs, puppies...

(lions and tigers and bears - oh my!)

Birds are represented and a lovable sloth as well.

They're just so stinkin' cute, don't you think?

Here she is on Instagram.

The Fun Animal Illustrations of Ashley Percival

The owls were the first to grab my attention.

So cute and quirky and endearing. I couldn't resist them.

Not to mention their eye glasses!

Artist Ashley Percival of the UK illustrates children's art.

Owls, pugs and sloths are among his favorite subjects.

These animals are all quite hip and lovable!

Wearing cozy sweaters (OK - jumpers, Ashley)

and ball caps turned backwards,

they're ready to have a good time on bikes or skateboards.

Such a friendly bunch!

Here's where you can find lots more

of Ashley's terrific art:

Good Natured Wool Art

I'd love to show you the awesome wool art of Good Natured.
Dani creates gorgeous works of art using a technique called needle felting,
the process of felting wool fibers together using barbed needles.

Many of her subjects are animals she encountered 
while working for 10 years as an educator at a zoo. 
Now she combines her passion for animals with her artistic talent.

Enjoy these examples of how Dani 
successfully captures these likenesses by "painting" with wool!

I just had to show you a close-up of this peach.

I am amazed at the realistic colors and shading that she captured!

A very cool things that Dani does is take custom orders for pet portraits!

Laura Frisk is the talented creator -through each step of the way- of these fun pillows!

She comes up with a drawing and carves it into wood.

Using eco-friendly ink (of course), she transfers the design onto fabric,

then sews it into a quirky pillow that's totally stuffed with charm!

Ready to add a pop of whimsy to your decor?

How cool is this?

You can order your pillow to suit your fancy-

choose from dozens of colors of ink,

as well as the color of the fabric on the back!

...and little ones with loops for hanging!

Not only animals - here's a cute cactus!

Here are the 2 ornaments that I ordered for my sweet niece!
