Dala or Notdala
Tonight was the Open House/Silent Auction at the Library.
I was in charge of decorating... and true to form... at the last minute, I've been trying to finish up some tree decorations for our "Scandinavian" tree.
I made dala horses, well, *MY* version of dala horses.
They are typically red.
Mine are blue.
And white.
They don't have protruding tails, manes, and forelocks.
Mine have tails. And manes. And forelocks. We're all horsey people around here, and non protruding tail-less/mane-less/forelock-less horses are just WRONG.
They are usually carved out of wood.
Mine are of felted wool and felt and yarn.
So maybe I should just say...
I made some blue and white ponies for my blue/white/silver Christmas tree at the library.
It was fun.

Well, maybe not traditional Dala horses, but close. And they do come in different colors - green, blue (about the same color as your blue horses), black, yellow. And those have to be official colors, because I saw them at the shop where they are made in Sweden.
Yours are cute. Well done!

Those are darling. I can't stand how clever you are! You could sell those I am sure. Your grandchildren have some awesome Christmas trees in their future.

I'm baack! Just love these horses! The
blanket-stitch along the edge is perfect. And the little saddles and bridles make them additionally special. Wish I had your talent!
