I've recently been having fun documenting my domestic (and crafting) efforts and general mishaps in a wee column called Domestic Anti-Goddess and hope to continue this on a semi regular basis. I've spent some time this evening making this here badge for it, hope you like it!
After lamenting the trials and tribulations of 'felting my mouse' a few weeks ago and how difficult it was to find Soap Flakes, Sod's Law dictates that I should now find them wherever I go!
I was on Skye a few days after posting the original article and lo and behold - there they were in the supermarket!
Then! After specifically mentioning Boots as a place where one can not purchase soap flakes, I find these!
Needless to say, I am now the proud owner of a box of soap flakes but I am yet to attempt eny more felting. In fact, closer inspection has shown that my poor drowned and deaf mouse is in fact only partially felted. His belly remains quite distinctly knitted. Perhaps I should chuck him in the washing machine (I have one that works now!) or maybe I'll just go ahead as is.
I will be posting the finished mouse as soon as I get round to stuffing the blighter!
