Disco-bots

Look at what arrived in the post today, Jodie Carleton's new pattern Disco-bots 14" of robotty goodness. She had done it again! her patterns are right on the money for cuteness. I am just busting to get making and i have just the people to make them for, My two youngest nephews.
If you do not know Jodie then do check out her blog, you will soon become a fan.

Brooches and Babies

I just thought i would share this with you,
I have given away so many Santa Pins that i am now short for the Christmas Party that was making them for in the first place, and having been to several Spotlight stores only to find they have ran out of the fabric to make some more i needed a quick solution.
So here it is. Pack of Christmas Tree Decorations 9 for $2.00 + pin backs and hot glue gun = instant pins. I bought 3 packs and now have 27 more pins to give away for Christmas.
What i will need do first is put away those i need for the party and just use the rest to give away, I learned my lesson.
Prezzies for friends and family.
Not another doll, you might say, I made this one yesterday for a friend of mines grand daughter, My friend has been to my house several times and always likes to see the things i have made. Her grand daughter is almost 2 years old, i think she will like it. She is Mauritian/African mix and very beautiful, i wanted to replicate her lovely hair and so i used sound speaker felt. it is thick and slightly knobbly. My friend Will be very surprised cos i told her i was only making them for charity this year. Her dress is from one of the fabrics i was sent and if you look closely you will see that it has french words all over it. Creole is spoken in Mauritius a french dialect.
Now what do I make next?

Softies For Mirabel

Softies For Mirabel They have their window display up and Look how lovely it is! Click on the picture to see and read more on it. Must get my toys down there pronto.

Zart Art

Not a lot on the Sales stuff, BUT the Art upstairs from school kids was astounding, I LOVED the gallery. Well worth going to to have a look at the lovely work alone. So I can honestly say i had a great time.

New Project

Using materials at hand i am making a wreath for the front door. Scissors, black strong thread, branches from the very large trees in the front yard and an embroidery hoop.

Tying the branches to the hoop overlapping the branches.
The hoop is covered. Leaving it for now, soon about to go to Zart Art. I will finish decorating it when i get back.

Softies For Mirabel

Softies For Mirabel, finished and ready to go. Now all i need is one of my boys to take me there before the 10th December.
