A Tip of the Hat

at by


When I blogged about my wee little German sheep, Lori of My Faerie Window left a comment saying a sheep should have a hat. She has a wonderful sheep on her mantel with a lovely hat – but her sheep is a lot bigger than mine. Since my little guy is only 2″ high and fragile, I had to be careful adding any weight to his head. All I have here is a glue stick and some wrapping paper. This is what I came up with. I added the little millinery flower to the top – all of it inspired by Lori.


Thank goodness for the macro setting. What do you think?

  4. Ahhhhh . . . or should I say, Baaaaa . . . that is so cute Claudia! And I adore that creamer and sugar dish behind your little lamb. ♥

  7. Love it!!! I have a little sheep I called Littlelambielottie…I blogged about her a while ago and gave her a crown…come on over and visit and do a ‘search’ for her by name.

    Love your guy!!!! I do think he has partied quite a bit.

  12. I didn’t think it was possible to make that little sheep any cuter but you’ve done it! What a charmer :)

  15. I’m so happy I stumbled across your blog today, Claudia. What a wonderful place to visit.

    I just love your little sheep. I am starting to collect them myself and I just love this German made one you shared.

    Hope you have a wonderful evening,
    Susan

  16. Hi Claudia,

    That is a perfect tiny hat! Ranks a 10 on the cuteness scale. :0)

    My local fiber shop sells some handmade fiber animals..some are holding knitting needles and some are crocheting…pretty good size. I’ll have to locate my photos I took and show you. They are really unique.

    Thanks for visiting with me for Outdoor Wednesday.

    Hugs,
    Stephanie ♥

  21. Too funny, one of my tiny sheep sports a peachy hat similar to the one you made. It also has a ruffled color. I always think it’s having a birthday party!

  27. HI CLAUDIA,
    YOUR LITTLE SHEEP IS QUITE FASHIONABLE.
    WATCH OUT….SOME PRODUCER MIGHT SNATCH HIM FROM YOU. :)
    HE IS SO ADORABLE. HOPE ALL IS WELL. RIZZI

  33. This is impossibly adorable, Claudia! And she’s perfectly coordinated with the china. What fun. Have a lovely weekend and successful previews. xo – g

  34. That is amazing Claudia!

    I love it! So charming. we had a nativity set from Germany when I was small and this little guy looks like part of it!

    Glad to hear your productions are going great. Wish I could see them! Love theater!!!!!

    I know you are missing home…just think how amazing it will feel when you return to your lovely garden, dogs and husband.

    Contrast is everything!

    love, kelee

  35. Your little sheep is so sweet. It sure was kind of you to pick those up for Meredith, and so nice of her to let you choose one to keep. I’ve made a few of these sort of sheep over the years, using paper clay and cotton batting. You should give it a try! They make lovely little gifts.
