Fabric Packs

Look at the two LOVELY parcels of fabric i have recieved from lovely Bloggers for my charity dolls. The Kindness out there amazes me, I won't name the people who sent them too me until i recieve notice that i can
Only this, I really do love all the fabrics, many of which i have never seen before, in fact i have never seen any of it before! Thank you ladies from the bottom of my heart you have spurred me on to make some more before the year is out. and for some other charities that are happening out there too.
You truly know the art of giving when it is something you would like to receive yourself, cos all the fabric is delicious.

Sunset


I wish i was a good photographer, cos this picture taken last night does not do the sunset justice, it was just wonderful, everything has a hot pink blush to it that slowly changed and grew back to normal as the evening went. Very very nice indeed.

Swap Arrived

At Clares Craftroom I entered an Ornament Swap, and this is what i have gotten back, A Lovely card and a PURPLE CAT ornament, Well I cannot tell you how delighted i am to get such a lovely swap, especially as my favourite colour is purple, and that I also think that cats rule the universe! I will be posting mine off to her tomorrow and I hope she likes mine as much as i like hers.

An update on the K.Mart. Christmas Tree toys,
I took them to Greensborough this morning They were very happy to recieve the dolls and toys, and are being processed rather than wrap them and put them under the tree, They like them all and think they will be very well recieved.
So Thank you all for all your support.

K.Mart Christmas Tree Gifts

They are so almost ready to go, Just have to finish sewing the limbs and the eyes on the elephants, and the gifts will be ready to go.
All 100 things for the K. Mart Christmas Tree, but before they go there, i will be doing Show and Tell at Spotlight at South Morang as this is where all the yarn and most of the fabrics i have bought this year have gone into the dolls and toys.
I can honestly say that i have enjoyed making them, and i wish you all A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I also want to thank Jodie Carleton for her beautiful patterns, The Lady From Greensborough, Gina Denholm for some lovely boy fabrics, the ladies from A.C.D.A. for the buttons and fabric and yarn throughout the year, and all you lovely bloggers out there who have given me encouragement to enable me to achieve my goal this year.

Sleep or not to Sleep

Tilli, She just loves to sleep in the climbing post
I am sitting on the floor doing faces when i look up, and there is Meg looking down on me from the pool/craft table.
What i have been doing today, well yesterday, last night until now, 6am, Is it too late to go to sleep now? I got up off the floor to have a stretch only to realise that the sun has risen, the birds are singing, and i am almost finished on the dolls faces, Do i finish them or try to get a couple of hours sleep? Well i thought about it, and decided to carry on. I will have some brekkie a shower and freshen up and continue, I still have buttons to put onto jumpers. After finishing the rest of the faces.
Although i can draw my own faces to save time, this time i am using a face stamp from Katkins Designs
The Stamp is called Beatrix.
I bought this from her earlier this year at the Stitches and Craft show, and asked her permission to use them on the dolls i was going to make this year for the K. Mart Christmas Tree, and she was happy for me to do so.
I have gone over it with Prisma Pens, done the whites of the eyes with gel pen from the newsagents and coloured the lips using prismacolour pencils
Christmas Trees, all they need to have done on them is some decoration, and they will be ready for the Christmas Party next month.
