Wordless Wednesday

(more here)

Stuffing around

(when I'm supposed to be getting on with other things!)

{she's been put over here}

My Creative Space - cracking me up!

I don't know what it is about these dolls.

These ones in particular have been making me smile this week.

Maybe its the outfits,

or maybe its the looks they are giving each other. They just crack me up! (But those boys take so long to make - I think I need more practice!)

(available here and here)

More creative spaces over here.

Certain things

... like a crochet poncho,

boots made from a vintage curtain,

an old button in black wavy hair,

the sideways glance from dark blue eyes,

and a sparkly vintage skirt (just a little too puffed out) -

makes for my new favourite doll!

The poncho was actually made first, then the doll to go with it.

She's over at my Made It store.

And that bloke trying to lead her away is over at Etsy!

(Edit: both sold!)

MCS

I've just finished these faces in My Creative Space.

The boy on the left is painted on tea dyed calico,

 the girl on the right is painted on a linen mix freckley fabric,

and the one in the front is on a darker brown cotton.

These are going to be added to my doll sale that is on at the moment.

(when they're all sewn up of course!)

I'm hoping to use some of this vintage curtain,

 thats drying on the line for one of the dolls.

And I've finished this cardy for the little one.

She loves purple and orange - she chose the trim!

Made from some op shopped jumpers, the purple one is part mohair - so soft!

Its held together with a vintage press stud -

 we are yet to decide if theres going to be a button added for effect.

(she sooooo loves it - yay!)

More creative spaces over here. xx

In the post

Here's a few things we've received in the post recently!

A vintage Singer sewing machine printed notebook from Chantal.

Thanks for the gorgeous camera card too!

Some tools to have a go at printing,

and also some brilliant baking things from Cathie -

the girls have already cut out sandwiches

with the bunny shapes!

(Thank you for sending us the best welcome package ever!)

My brooch(es) from the lovely Leonie -

as part of the Flowerpress Brooch Swap -

thank you so much for the zipper purse too!!

And the fantabulous Mr Walter, who we won in Cathie's raffle.

 Made by the clever clever Jess at Teddy Bears Wednesday.

Here's a bit about him -

Walter is a retired bellhop. Every day at about 5pm he likes to head to his local and have a few pints at the bar. He also loves steak & kidney pie with mushy peas. Every friday night he meets up with his mates and they go ten pin bowling, where they have a few.

He loves his rituals and routines (and beer)!

The girls are looking forward to seeing their Dad this weekend -

hes been away in Sydney on a course (again).

Have a lovely weekend friends.xx
