Disaster day

 Well I have been trying to make a doll but I am having such a hard time with her arms. I have never had this problem before. Could be I am just out of touch. First set of arms I blew the fingers. Second set the fingers were too thin so just couldn’t get them to turn. Third set I drew the palms separately onto the pattern . Unfortunately I didn’t notice that I had copied it the wrong way round so that the little finger was pointing up. I only noticed it when I started stuffing it. I was so annoyed with myself. Hope the fourth time will be lucky. But so much of time wasted. I wanted to get on with it and finish it before Christmas but now it is looking highly unlikely.😒

Anyway to calm myself I did another ornament from one of the pine cones picked from the garden. 

Another ornament

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.

 

More tassel dolls

 

I think I am on the roll with these tassels😂

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 us🤣. 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 😁. 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.
