this isnt hubby, this is a duct-tape dummy sent to me by my client.
i came flat packed and rolled up and i spent ages filling it with an old duvet ... i will recycle the stuffing again later !

the head is seprate and i am using these to get the sizes right for the full suit and the head/mask ...

hes much taller than me, and the girls just call it MAN !

follow me too :-)

i have added a doobrey on the left there, just under where to get my stuff, just like caroline on uniquat who comes here often. so im following her and it now looks like she has 3 friends.

its quite groovy actually, i like the updates on the dashboard page.
its a bit like facebook only less ... all for show? maybe ....

after the poor dino post yesterday i found lots of happy PLEOS on youtube and felt much better.

phew.

now - does my bum look big in this?

hmmm, robots ....

saw this today

and felt a bit sad ....

a la france!

im proud :-)

papa, in france, now has his boars beautifully framed and on the wall.
thanks rose for this super photo, i am very pleased to have it ...

do you remember this artwork? i completed it and it arrived in france just before mary was born

more fun feet ...

after the fursuit feet i decided that i would run up some slippers for the girls
as i dont seem to be able to get into town so easily with all three little ones ...
and theirs were wearing out fast ...

these have come out a bit big, but they do love them
the soles are PVC material left over from some costume capes i once made, i made 3 caped avengers for a local council campaign a few years ago now, would you like to see them?

yesterday we went to value house and i bought a monster sized dog collar to make into a belt, to carry the big fursuit mouse's tail ....

i am going out tonight ....

my friend gets married this weekend, and its dinner at her house tonight for women :-)

i altered the straps on her wedding dress ...

mary will now sleep from 8pm, this is my first big night out
will probably yawn, fall asleep and be home by 10pm anyway !

des res ....

a dolls house from our local freecycle network, which i was lucky enough to 'win' ...
a bit stained, and smelling a bit musty, the girls helped pull off some roof printed paper and some stickers, and i gave it a good wash ready for painting.
it needs some fun furnature, preferable handmade, and a family to live there...
but who?
any ideas?

who is this? WIP ...

actually work-not-in-progress, for here sits a creature with a head, and no face od body ... something i started when having surgery three weeks ago, and could only hand sew .... who could it be?

are you the sort of person who *has* to sit and fiddle? i took pieces of mohiar and the tools and stuffing into the hospital with me to help kill waiting time more effectively. one harldy sees people knitting these days, i suppose i would take knitting if i could knit ....

and im rubbish at soduku, even spelling it is hard. which worries me as i have heared it can help prevent dementia ....

next on the itinery of fursuiting is the tail, so this little character may remain faceless for a bit longer ....

fursuit feetsies finnished finally!

the feet soles ready to be stuck to the shoes of my client ... canadian size 10 feet ...

and much glueing and sewing later, the finnished feet, i need a friend to pose in these for me !


yes, thats my dining room carpet btw - i am not changing it untill my children can eat more nicely :-)
and here is the paper pattern, all finnished with and including foot tracings from my client, mr big mouse :-)

you can get your copy ofthe pattern here

http://deezlberries.furvect.com/OSCR/FootPaw.html

with a great tutorial ...
or you can have mine if you want it !

at one end of the sofa ....

i sew, read, drink tea, eat pretend food, eat real cake, put my feet up, sketch designs, fail at soduku, make phone calls, stuff sewing projects, take photographs and smile at the children!

and at the other .....

uh-oh ....duh ! ... WIP

i am making fursuit feet

the feet have 4 toes each, and look like paws

i made some claws the same way that i made soem for the gloves, only i took my brain out and made 10 claws ...

so how about a blog giveaway?

perhaps the oddest one?

free to good home - 2 spare claws, would suit unicorn maker, or some one doing a monster with twin white fangs !

leave a comment saying what you would do with them if you won and i'll ask my toddlers to pick one! if you make an itwem to sell you have to credit me as maker of the pvc pointy parts, ok ?

off for a cup of tea now !
