My cuties

Well I have given them a pillow to sleep on now and they have their little night cap on too, next I have to find a bed for them. Actually I do have a bed but I can't show it to you yet.

 

Today is my blogoversary so got to wish myself:)

Small project

This is a small project that I am doing for a swap. Couldn't resist showing these as I find them rather cute if I may say so. It is a small group where we are doing an ornament swap. I know at least one person from that group might see this but they won't still have an idea of what it is I am making tee.. hee.... Actually it is almost complete and I am thinking of making one for myself too as they are so easy to make.

 

 

Another month gone

Another month seems to have flown by. Sorry I have been neglecting my blog but life has been throwing spanners at me so it has been hard to be creative with all that is going on. However I did notice that it is my blogovarsary tomorrow and I have really nothing much to celebrate it with. I did want to do something special for you all as a thank you for your support all these years but couldn't organise anything. However, I did not want this day to pass without giving you something so here is a little pendant that I made sometime ago which I will give away.  If you would like to take part in it do leave a comment and I shall do a draw on the 2nd of Nov to chose a winner.

Today I found these beautiful leaves which my smoke bush has shed. I don't think I have seen them like this before so I am wondering if some decease got them. Whatever it is they look gorgeous. Don' t you think so?

Pay it forward gifts

Whew! at last my pay it forward gifts reached their destination safely. My it has taken them long to reach. Perhaps these tiny little girls just decided to wander around a bit and see the world before they went to their homes. I am happy they are home at last.  It was a pleasure to create these girls for Teresa of Magical Whimsy, Beverley of Rhissana and Sharon of Sewn Seabees Crafty-and-vintage-musings. Enjoy them ladies.

 

Where is this going?

 

I think you know where this is going don't you? If I get this cut and sewn that would be some acheivement. Oh by the way I am not sitting here and gorging my self with chocholates. Infact I hardly eat chocholates but people tend to always give me chocholates. I guess it is like flowers when people don't know what else to give they give flowers or chocholates. Even I do the same so can't complain it is the thought behind. Hope you all are having a lovely creative day.

 

Umbrella fit for a Princess?

After making some umbrellas from free patterns I decided to make one of my own  as I was not very happy with ones I had made. I wanted to make something that looked magical. So came up with my own version. Having made it once now I think I know how to get it fine tuned.

After a long absence

 

Hello everybody. It has been a long time since I posted on my blog. I didn't fall off the edge of the earth but due to health issues of my husband I have not been able to get on to the computer long enough to post or have felt like blogging lately. However I thought I should not neglect you all for any longer. I do hope I am not talking to myself while you all have done the disappearing act lol!

So without much ado let me first thank Peggy for this beautiful picture which I was lucky enough to win in her blog give away. Thank you Peggy it is beautiful and the picture does not do it justice at all. Do go and have a look at Peggy's blog it is beautiful.

I will try and catch up with all your blogs. I have tried to visit every now and then but simply have not been able to comment on blogs as I seem to be so exhausted at the end of the day that I start drooping on the computer.
Creatively I have not done much either I just about managed to finish my Pay it forward for the 3 ladies who signed up to play. I will post some pictures once they receive the items.

Class with Arley Berryhill

This my mermaid that I made in Arley's Class. I usually make much smaller dolls so believe it or not I just could not get this doll's hands right as they were twice bigger than what I make. The doll may not have turned out great but I sure did have lots of fun in Arley's class. He is a wonderful and generous teacher giving us lots of tips and showing us tricks  as he goes along.  Thank you for the wonderful class Arley I had a great time learning from you.

I have yet to complete her embellishments,  which I don't know when I will do. Hope she doesn't turn out to be another DIP like so many of my other class dolls have been lol!

Back at last

I am back at last from my travels. Before I left I couldn't find the time to share with you these lovely gifts I recieved .

This is a beautiful broach made by Rengine. It is so delicate looking the picture does not do any justice to it. Please visit her blog she does amazing work. She also sent me some lovely trims and beads from Istanbul. Thank you Rengine.

The lovely little broach was sent by Joy. Joy sells some luscious doll hair which I love and she is a lovely lady to do business with. Her website link is http://thingsilike.net/. Thank you for the prompt service and also for the little gift Joy.

Travelling again

I will be travelling again so thought I would leave you with these images of my table doll for CIFI.

She was put together rather quickly but still I feel a pang when I have to part with my dolls. Hopefully Emeralda will be going to a loving home. I have not been able to visit any blogs lately as I have been very busy but will do so when I get back from my travels. So take care all.
