Just because....

Just because all the crafting I am doing at the moment is so brain-numbingly boring, I thought you might like to meet this little guy.


He was really fun to make - I cracked myself up with the surfboard.


On the dolly front - Miss Mirabel is coming up in the next round of


this Sunday night.
If you want to check her out you can take a look at this post. She is a bit naughty but Pip tells me she has been very good lately and has not been calling people poo- poo heads at all. She has a little selvedge quilt to bring with her and she and all her clothes and accessories come in a zippered bag. I'll post the link on Sunday night when she is up.

The first lot of the kits are ready at long last - I know it has taken forever. These kits are of the little bluebird cages. I will pop them in the shop tonight at about 9pm.
Maybe by next week I will have some with red birds
maybe.............
( Thankyou for all the lovely birthday wishes. I wish you could all come over here for cake. I'd even tidy up the sewing room for you......and you know I wouldn't do that for just anybody.
It took me a while to figure out how everyone knew.
Thankyou Annie!)

  5. He's a little grommit! So very cute. Does he say "duuuuude" a lot, with a little pipsqueak voice?

    Happy birthday! Sorry, I was oblivious. I hope it was an excellent one.

    Looking forward to the shop update. Just sayin'. ;-)

    I can't believe you made ALL those outfits for Mirabel and Surfer Dude! And here I was fussing over ONE shirt for Miles. You're making me look bad! :p

  9. That little boy softie is fantastic. I love his dressing gown and Hawaiian shorts ready to catch some waves.

    Those kits look great. I bet they'll sell like hot cakes. I'm considering developing kits to make silver fingerpritns eventually - so many people have asked for them.

  14. That surf board is absolutely fab - the funny thing is I had been wondering before I read your post if it would be possible to make Fred's new Boy a skate-board - but I don't think I have your talents!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY by the way - a little flowery birdy told me!
