Pink Flamingoes

Started a new project today, Large Pink Flamingos in 3 dimensional cardboard. I will be making 3 of them, going from left to right, we have 2 main body pieces, 2 inner body pieces minus beak, 3 inner but i think i might do 5 body pieces without neck and face and 2 wing pieces. They will be taped together leaving spaces with cardboard and double sided tape to help give it the 3D look. The legs will be dowels. They will be just slightly smaller than life sized for Renees classroom as they will be learning about Hawaii. The class will be decorating them to finish them off. This is the body for one, i will be doing this 2 more times. It is great to get back into creating again! My son Mark is providing me with the cardboard from work instead of the boxed getting crushed.
Hardest part of it for me is the posting of pictures, my camera screen is broken so i have to just shoot and hope i get a good picture, at least it still works!

Holiday Pics

View from the mountain tops at a Retreat Farm. Every where you see amazing coconut trees, You cannot tell from this but the trees are far away, a valley ridge is between the flowers in the front and the trees behind. All is crisp, clean and very peaceful.
A cool clean pool to swim in. lots of walks to do on many different level grounds.
This is one of the beaches, this picture is a little washed out, the sand is actually dark in colour, more of a dark grey actually.

K.Mart Wishing Tree

I Just had to post these Dolls in Progress shots first before i go, Not finished, un needlesculpted, but already looking cute, You can imagine that when finished they will be lovely to hold. They will have their own sleeping quilted bag each.
Wig hair, cut out,ready to sew and place on the heads when i get back.

Holiday

I just want to wish you all a Very Happy New Year, My hubby and I along with 2 friends are off on our first holiday together for nearly 30 years! We will be back in 3 weeks time. Off to the Philippines. I will not have any access to a computer, or sewing machine, but i will take a camera and notebook, crochet and knitting. I will miss you all, My son will be here to look after the kitties, So until then...

Tilli and Meg

This is the last time these two kitties will be sleeping in this pram. I have to clean it up before i give it to my niece in a couple of days time. Too Cute!

Baby Dolls

This is what i am currently working on. Dolls, Puppedolls, and Teddy Bears by Estelle Ansley Worrell, published in 1977 by Van Nostrand Reinhold Company. This is an old book but one of my favourites.
This is the pattern i will be making, Little baby. 10 of them.

I have already knitted 10 vest and pants.

Holiday

My husband and i will be going away to the Philippines for 3 weeks, along with a couple of friends at the end of the week, I had known about this holiday but had not committed myself to going until a couple of days ago. Looking forward to seeing and doing something different. Anyone been there?
