The amazingly talented @teddymouse has been making me a very special teddy! And taking some photos to show me how he’s been made as I’ve been very interested in the process! You might recognise him! :D

That is just brilliant! @teddymouse angie is very talented. I've still got a picture she painted of a guinea pig when we first met in Salisbury. It's so life like.

Started knitting this scarf a while ago using macrame yarn so that it's heavy enough to act as a stylish waited blanket that I can wear in public to calm my Autism related panicking. only problem I accidentally left the yellow yarn I started (and intend to finish it) with at my mother in laws and she should be in isolation. So I've been carrying on with the white until I can get the yellow back but this makes it a very long scarf.

I'm autistic too! Not officially diagnosed but my daughter is. She sleeps with a weighted blanket. What a brilliant idea to make a portable one! I imagine you'll be using it a lot right now 😕

I'm still waiting for an official diagnosis myself aged 23 a lot of women go undiagnosed their whole life because we tend not to be as attention seeking. To be fair I was able to hide it and pretend to be normal for years but not being true to yourself slowly eats away at your mental health until your rocking, flapping head shaking autistic self just can't hide any more. There are a variety of waited jackets scarfs and other portable waited blanket type things on the market but they all look a bit too much like medical equipment and not just a normal piece of clothing for my liking.

So I apologise because these braids are impossible to photograph well, but you hopefully get the idea from these 3. They're kumihimo like the ones in my other photos, but it's a different kumihimo braid too make these. I'm using thinner thread that doesn't suit the other braid so well.

Not really, as she's a lefty, and will need to sit in front of me, plus it not the same as sitting together. Also want to teach her to make bobbin lace, theses are all crafts that are dieing out.

They are. I once saw bobbin lace at a fair or something a while ago. I was really intrigued and wanted to actually try it out. I never did though.

I think I was ‘old’ before my time. I learnt to crochet and knit in my teens. And I also taught myself to tat in my early 20s. And I like cross stitch as well. I will try and teach my girls maybe.
 
Here's one for the pigs if anyone fancies a bit of origami!
I made brown paper origami boxes and put some pea flakes inside for a diy boredom breaker! They girls have been nibbling and chucking them about the place and surprisingly they're lasting quite well! (For paper toys anyway)

I used this tutorial if anyone fancies making their own. How to Make an Origami Cube Using 6 Pieces of Paper

That's a great idea! I mean I could just see Blitzen giving me the devil eye for doing that like "excuse me, wtf do you think this is, MAKING ME WORK FOR MY FOOD".
