Girls with wings!

Flower faires dressed at last!



would probably look quite cute on the top of the tree too!


Really must get the tree out of the loft!

Flower Faeries for Christmas ...

their dresses and wings are being finished, meanwhile, here they sit, no longer bald but still nude!

Fairies to Go!

Flower Fairy dolls in a handmade basket they can rest in!

these are basically dressed sock dolls, and were good fun to make!

Two Angels!

one angel rat is already winging her way up north ...



both rats kiss goodbye!



i have fun making these tiny wings, and I used pearly buttons to attach them...

Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit ....

Edward Tulane again ...



oh, and again ...



and the Prince of Rabbits ...



I think one wants to change the CD though ...

big, naked rabbit dolls ....

how about some tails, please?



oh, and could we have some clothes?

swap doll arrived !

in the summer tantehilde (see blogs of note, left) fell in love with my wolly goats and so we agreed to trade and i sent the goat over during october ...


and this lovely girl has been made for mary ...


i made her a blanket, from sparkly cotton and white fleece, and edged with red binding to match the carry-cot hilde made.


go and visit hilde's dolls, they really are beautifully made ... thank you tantehilde!

new button jointed rats ....

based on 'mrs pack rat' who i made when i first joined the etsy plush team, i have created this cheerful bunch to come with me to artwey open studios ... and beyond !

they sat and waited a few days for me to root out buttons and sew on all their limbs ... "hey, thats MY left leg, please!"

new raggy rats, three off to see if they can make it onto the pages of STUFFED magazine ...

three to take part in artwey, then hang out in my etsy store ...

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?

Oh Blogger - I've Been Tagged!

but as i am always running around trying to catch up with things i am not going to do it, but feel free to read connie's (clothmatters), who tagged me, and do one your self if you like ... it just takes me ages to do a nice hot link, imagine pasting and fiddling with 5 friends!

and in the middle of making that lobster costume i got tagged by caroline of uniqart to do the '8 things' thing, and i loved the way she did hers with a blog entry and pic for each thing. my favorate was a lovely pic of her daughter. but of course in the middle of the lobster costume it was all sew, sew, sew followed by looking after my babies, and i hadly answered any emails and posted just enough so you wouldn't forget me!

anyway - in the spirit at least of being tagged - thanks connie and caroline for picking me ... anyway - im just going off to upload 8 pictures which will also be a bit of a 'round up', since after finnishing that lobster i 'crashed' and have felt rather ill ...

said good bye to my L reg fiesta at the end of last month ... we covered many hundered miles together and i will miss her. she was the first car bought just for me !!! and no - i didn't break it ....

some ceramic painting i did with louise - she gave the striped mug to grandad-gerald for his borthday and he said he liked it ... we even have to fire them in the oven 24 hours after painting and it came out nice and shiney not brown and burned like i thought it would ...
the babies watching a man take down the corner post, and re-build it, to make my driveway wider for a newer car, last week ....
