Good news and bad news


Since I posted a picture of all my needlefelted animals in a Facebook group (Miniatyrer i skala 1:12, feel free to join in =) Its my friend Anne that started this group) anyway, I posted a picture and got a great respond and several orders. I've already shipped one teddy of to Denmark (I haven't even visit Denmark myself, but I'm happy one of my teddies will live there now =)) And then the giraffe that will be picked up on the fair, and 2 cats and one cat that will go by mail too. So I've been busy, and on top of that, my shoulders started aching again.. =( I have that from time to time. Some days they really hurt, and I cant move my head. And some days they are OK, I just cant move my arms anyway I like. I've gotten worse and worse the last 3 years, but since I hate hospitals I was hoping it would go away, and it does, until it comes back again.. but this month it got much worse so I had to ask for help. I went to a physiotherapist this week and I got some exercises to strengthen my back and stomach and hopefully I will get better soon!
I had a terrible pain in my back after the delivery of my baby. But a physiotherapist helped me, and I'm better, but not good.. maybe because I'm to lazy to exercise every day...

Anyway enough with the health issues.. and straight to the pictures =)


My winnings from Conny, she added a lot more than I actually won =)
I'll have to start sewing soon =) Thank you so much Conny!!
 
A teddy bear that moved to Denmark

 
 
A dog that got more fur
I thought I made a Bichon frisé, but it got too big, so I added some grey to make it into a Shetland sheepdog, but I was so not pleased, but now I worked a bit more on it, and its OK, but not my best work..

 A sleeping cat

Right now I like doing bodies, not heads.. But I did finish this cat at last =) And its ready to ship to the new owner =)
I think Jennifer was right, this tiny sofa could make a great animal bed =) I will place it in the same room as the "big" one later. When they get a room...

The first two giraffes I made, are gone =( I just can't find them, I have been looking everywhere, but they're gone.. I really hope they will turn up in time to the fair.. But I made another one for the woman that asked for one, so at least I have something to give her at the fair, but I really hope the first ones will turn up too!! I'm getting crazy looking for them...
This new one is already packed and ready for the fair, and hopefully he will stay in the box and don't run of to the other two....

These cats moved in to my unfinished house, but they may move again.. I decided to bring them to the fair, I hope I can make new ones for myself later (If I sell these) =)



 

And finally my 1:144 scale house is done, it took me a lot of time getting that roof in place, I have change it 2 times, and I thought of how it would be for a long time, then I could finally decide with a little help from Anna =)

Only 17 days left until the fair, time really flies!! I have so much more to do.. but I haven't been in the mood for anything for a couple of days now, but I try make something anyway. Next week I'll go to the funeral for the man who got my first finished roombox... I think he was a great man who will be missed by a lot of people!


Take care
Hannah

  3. I am so sorry to read about your pain! I wish you can get good help to improve your health. I hate working out as well so I try different activities like a simple ballet warm up routine or beginners yoga. If you want to try out, I can send you the DVD titles I have. They are only for Region 1 so I don't think they will work in your country but the same DVD may be available for your specific region. I am glad you were able to sell many of your merchandise. It's always a good feeling to see people like things you have created!

    1. Thanks Jane! I have some exercises now, I will start with them, I notice how badly trained I'm since I get tired easily =) I wish I had a training buddy to keep me company, but I have my 2-year old cheering on me, it's much more fun to train with friends than alone =)

    2. I know how that feels Hannah. I am in bad shape too and I really need to pay more attention to my health. My baby is now 16 months old and I have yet to get that body back :(

    3. Hope you can start training soon, I think it gets harder and harder with time.. My stomach muscles were all gone after the delivery, I did train a bit, but I stopped, and now my back have to pay for it...
      Good luck! I will go do my exercises right away, so I don't forget =)

    1. Thank you Birgit! I'm working on getting better in my shoulders and I found the giraffes! I was so lucky!! I couldn't let them go so I looked and looked, and then I saw them, right in front of my own nose the whole time...

    1. Thank you Marisa! I thought the cats would like to lye in my window like that, but I hope they can find another great spot to lye on at someone others house =) (But if they don't, I'll save the spot for them) =)

  9. I am happy your wonderful animals will be loved in their new homes I knew they would be snatched up!

    I hope the back and neck strain get better over time. Even doing some stretching a few times out of the day does help. I have had a bout of hunchoveritis for a long time..stretching..bending..sitting on a balance ball ;)

    Hugs, JS

    1. Thanks Jane!
      I try to remember to walk around and stretch now and then, but it's hard to leave the minis, I could sit with my minis forever ;)

  13. You sure make adorable little animals. They all have such cute personalities that show through. I love them!
    Sorry about your pain. You really can't get any work done when you don't feel good. Hopefully, you'll find a solution that helps permanently. I had a lot of neck pain for years. Then I changed my desk chair to one of those special adjustable one and it solved everything. Just look at your posture all day and make sure you are not aggravating your shoulders somehow. Maybe you keep your shoulders up too much while you work. Could be something very simple.
    Sorry for your loss. It's always so sad to say goodbye.
    hugs & feel better!

    1. Thank you Caroline!
      I do sit with my computer in the sofa, not the best way to sit! And then I hunch my shoulders often, I have to think about it and sit better and move around now and then.
      Hope you feel better with you leg!! =)
