{81st WORLD ANIMAL DAY + Wabbies from Sweden}

October 4th is officially WORLD ANIMAL DAY. Let's hope there will be more awareness and respect towards all animals! This year will be the 81st WORLD ANIMAL DAY, since its start in Florence, Italy. You can see more in a link below post, also photos from my Dachshund Mauzie...
Staying with animals, I'd like to show you here one more Blogger I Admire; Astrid from Sweden, from the blog: AstridsHandarbeten, just click this hyperlink. It will show you how she makes her lovely Wabbies, rabbits from sheep's wool. Clicking on the link above will show you how she does prepare the sheep's wool for her artful needle felting. She is incredible in creating the funniest animals out of them. So I decided to have a 'Wabbie Family' sent to Germany to our German son and his family. Have a look at the result of Astrid's needle felting:
From Sweden to the Eifel in Germany.
Each Wabbie holds a letter A, E, L and M and a black kitten.
Incredible handwork by Astrid.
The Wabbies reside on the kitchen window sill, in their new home.
 Look at all the details artfully made by Astrid...
Holding their A, E and black kitten...
Those Wabbies did bring their own gift-tag:

THANKS ASTRID!

    Wabbies..ik had er nog nooit van gehoord!!!
    Ja, dierendag, zijn ze hier aan het proberen om er 'eet geen dierendag' van te maken.
    Dat vind ik zowiezo wel een goed iets, want dierendag is natuurlijk niet alleen voor je huisdieren, maar ook voor de dieren die dagelijks opgegeten worden...
