So in honour of my birthday a couple of days ago, my wonderful sister and boyfriend created this Moobs themed cake for me. I have to say, it looks spectacular and tastes even better.  It is carrot cake (naturally!) with cream cheese icing. Yummmm! My brother, who is currently visiting from England, also gave me [...]

Ah, the carrot. This little guy is a descendant of my first attempt at needle felting vegetables. I created a carrot for my friend’s birthday, and everyone fell in love with it. The rest is history.

My orange was a pleasant surprise. I was not sure that he would be very exciting in the end, because he does not have a lot going on. The simplicity seemed to come through for him, because I think that he looks pretty darn cute.

The kiwi was particularly challenging to sculpt. The white lines which radiate from the centre and the tiny seeds were the slowest and most painstaking part of the project. I started by sculpting the green part.

The asparagus has one of my favourite end results, but it is definitely one of the more challenging vegetables to construct. This is because of all the tiny green leaves at the top, which I attach on individually.

This is the first time that I have attempted to make any sort of gourd, and I am quite pleased with the result. I was worried that I did not have the colour that I wanted – a deep orangey-yellow. I solved this by combining a bright yellow that I had with a red.

Thought I’d show everyone what I’ve been up to since you last saw me.  This is my buddy the Avocado.
