I made another ornament and as you can see I added some hair to it. Thought it looked better so added some to the red one too. Next I hope to start on my unfinished doll that has been hanging around for ages. I was going to make a fairy out of her but now I am having second thoughts. I usually make a christmas doll each year so I am now thinking maybe I should make an angel. I don't think I have time to make another doll.

2 more Christmas ornaments
I am desperately trying to keep my creative juices flowing. Otherwise I just seem to get bogged down. With all thats going on around the world one just so depressed. Thank goodness I have my craft . So here is another tassel doll and a little pine cone fairy. After we moved into our new house , we realised that we are stuck with a huge big pine tree which is in our neighbours property. Its a lovely tree but the amount of mess it throws in our garden is unbelievable. At present we are getting showered with pine leaves. Come spring we will get showered with the cones. Then the squirrels will be nibbling the pine nuts and throwing them at us๐คฃ. There is nothing we can do as it is a listed tree , so it is what it is. I collected some cones to make something out of them . Threw away a huge bin load of cones. Seems a pity but what can you do when there is a pine cone overload ๐. Anyway here is a cone fairy ornament. I have reused stuff on it. Hair is a bits of the cone the other bits are from some old decoration pieces. I tend to collect broken bits of decoration so that I can use it on my dolls. This one is going to my doll club round robin. Hope they will like it, whoever gets it.

Very small project
Just a small project. A tassel doll that I created as a daily dose of creativity, when I am not in the right place to create something. This is very simple to make which I might put it up for our secret santa for the Christmas party in our doll club

Some more progress
So I made a little bit more progress. Since I am just making it up as I go , I am learning along the way what I should have done, and what I have done wrong ๐. As you can see it is not perfect. When I do another one I shall know how to do it the easier way☺️

Just a little doll house
Just started a new project. I don’t know how its going to turn out as I am just winging it from what I have seen in the internet. There are people selling patterns and instructions but I decided to try it on my own. Hopefully it will turn out ok๐

Arum lily takes shape after a long time
Hello all . Hope you all are keeping well and creating Well time has run away without my realising it. Things have been happening this end which has taken most of my time. I managed to complete this doll after a long time. It was in the back burner since 2020. I still have a tiny bit of tweaking to do. I call her Arum because her skirt is in a shape of Arum lily . I used all the felt pieces that I had made in an online class during the Covid period from A for artistic . Hope you like her if you are reading this. I don’t expect anyone is though as it has been a long time since I have posted

Christmas angel done
My Christmas angel done at last in a flurry. All because I am finally moving yeah. I might colour the flowers so that they match the colour scheme of the doll. Once I am settled I will do that. This was a doll from Sherry Goshan’s class. I had a hard time making her smile. She is too serious for an angel๐. I will have to see what I can do later. Think I might lost touch a bit with my face painting. Her skirt is made out of two plastic wine glasses. Rest of the body is made from paper clay and her hair is tassels .
