One of the vintage toys we received in the mail from Immi & Ashland’s grandparents is a little sheep from the Fisher-Price Family Farm set. It’s a strange thing how knitting/crocheting has ultimately made me appreciate sheep as unique and wonderful creatures!
Here’s a close-up. I’m guessing this sheep is about 30 years old.
…And just for fun, here’s a modern sheep toy:
Granted, these two sheep appear to be of different breeds (the first one is a domestic sheep? and second one merino maybe?) its amusing to me how so different they are!
And as long as I’m posting pictures of plastic sheep, here’s some totally lovely fiber I got for spinning:
It’s very soft and fluffy:
And I’m trying to make something with the yarn I finally finished spinning. I guess it’ll be a light scarf since I only have 2 ounce.
I’ve been playing with the idea of creating a collection of toy animal portraits. Here’s the first two experiment.
This one is the Cat. He is Immi’s sometimes-bestfriend. On days when he is Immi’s favorite, he is showered with hugs and kisses and even gets to go out and see the world. When he’s not though, he waits patiently for her affection.
This one is the Bunny. He is definitely Ashland’s best-friend. It’s not an easy job being Mr. Bunny though because ‘loved’ for him means being tugged at and chewed on.
In music, I was fascinated by architecture of time — particularly the idea of time holding still. Ironically, in a still image, I seem to fancy capturing passage of time.
Stuffed Animals always look so sad to me when they are piled up like this waiting for someone to play with them.
