I'd like to say that I knocked up these pieces during my coffee break this morning in response to Zed's Autumn challenge that she posted a couple of days ago... ...but that would be a fib. Truth is I had already made the pod and I had almost finished the bowl when the challenge was posted because at the time I was writing an 'autumn' rosiepink blog post. This ornamental bowl is 2" high and 7" wide and looks fab on my white table. I made a piece of felt from autumn colours then got busy with the sewing machine and scissors. This simple pod is just made with merino wool and although I had 'leaf' in mind, it kinda looks like an apple doesn't it? It's 4.5" tall.

Wow, aren't you lucky!! They are both perfect for the challenge. I love the leaf bowl, it is way cool. And your pod does kind of look like an apple.

Nice premonition work Lyn. The leaf bowl is great. The pod reminds me of flames.

Thank you! I think handmade felt and machine stitching are made for each other.

I will try to squeeze this one in among my ever growing pile of projects. I did give up one of my jobs at my senior's art guild. I still have a lot to do there, but it is a start.

Wow, they're excellent, Lyn! It's funny, my first thought was 'apple' for the pod

Yep, that is my plan. I wish I could move to an undisclosed location for a while with no phone or phone messaging and did I mention no husband who wants to eat cooked meals now and then?

Don't you have Pot Noodles there Judy? (Instant noodles in a cup with veg and flavours, you just add hot water) They're 'cooked'
