Sonny Angel Animal Series

I recently came across these dolls named Sonny Angel. It's a cute and angelic boy that comes in a huge range of collections wearing all sorts of headgears. Animal Series 3 consists of 12 mini figurines of animals including owl , zebra, buffalo, hippo and more. These seem to be a new trend at the moment and have a massive fan following all over the world! Did you hear about them before? People love to collect them, use them as props in the photographs or even take them on a travel abroad! 

I find these dolls creepy cute. Do you? I adore the owl so much that I feel it's only a matter of time before I buy one for myself. May be it'll need a few tries since they come in a 'blind' box which means you wouldn't know the content of the box until opened. I'll order as soon as I am ready for my first surprise! If you like, you can start playing here.

DIY: Felt Woodland Masks

I have featured several kinds of masks on my blog before but this one is my favorite project so far because it doesn't require any sewing! If you can work with a pair of scissors and an iron then making these masks will be a walk in the park for you.

Just download the template(s) of the animal(s) you want and follow some simple set of instructions from here. It's truly a fun project to try with your kids for Halloween (bookmark now for later!) or a dress up  kids' party.

'Flat Pets': Silly or Not?

'Flat Pets' by Garudio Studiage is a range of cardboard cut-outs of the animals which you can keep with you in an apartment without the fuss. I am not sure if I am completely on board with the idea so I need to hear what do you guys think about the 'Flat Pets'. I discussed this with my friends in the States and they told me that people once kept rocks as their pets. Amazing! In India (where I am from originally) this concept is completely unheard of or will most likely be considered silly. 

If you have any experience with flat or rock pets then I am curious to learn your views. Could these adorable screen printed animals be a solution to those who are allergic or have very little time in their day?
