Donkey and Shepherd number one.

 After the stockings, the presents, the delicious Turkey dinner and the Queen's speech came lots of films and catching up and crochet of course! Today it was the turn of the donkey and the first shepherd:
donkey with Joseph and baby Jesus, Mary is asleep recovering from the birth....
 I gave the donkey a bigger body, bigger head, a neck, longer ears and 4 thinner longer legs....
 Not to mention a ''proper'' donkey style tail?Part chain and slip stitch crochet and part fringe.


 He has posabel legs and can sit, lie down with folded legs or stand up. I think he looks capable of having carried a pregnant  Mary to Bethlehem?  When I can buy dark brown pipecleaner the shepherd will get his shepherd's crook...The lamb and shepherd number two are coming soon....
 Then after that the three wise men with their precious gifts of gold, frankincence and myrrh.
And finally hopefully an ox and a camel.....watch this space....
And I hope your Christmas Day was as funny, joyful, happy and lovely as our was.
Blessed that's what we were and we give THANKS for these blessings.
