A thingummy, and a page of ideas!

The lovely Daisy-D made a rather cool Thingummy-bob! We are learning about what all the K'ex parts can do, and sticking together all the wonderful bits and bobs we opened at Christmas!



And I had the privilege of sitting alone in a coffee bar with my posh coffee, and the A4 journal I use to record ideas for my book! I had a rather nice fountain pen too, and got down a couple of pages of ides for images to bring my children's book to life!


That mini book isn't the actual size of the book, but a mock up allowing me to turn pages and 'feel' my way around the story. I wrote inside with black pen and my best handwriting so Daisy, my reader, can read it too...

the strange case of the dog in the garden ...

Mary loves dog ... but dog is still a little bit heavy for Mary to hump about ...



It's a girl dog, says Mary, Good Boy!



But it's too cold outside to play dog, come inside please!

Push-along Dog Makeover ....

do you remember This project?



Well it's all ready for Mary now ... the poor dog sat most of this year with no head nor tail! He is vintage and heavy-framed, but throwing him about should help build up little Mary-Mary!

skeleton - a project for the new year !

this wheeled toy featured a ginger and white but very grubby and oily dog ... but not any more ... a new project for me! i stripped down the deformed and smelly individual who was also filled with old foam chips - remember when most toys where?

now, what shall i do ...?

mallard ....

another hand fiddly experiment while sitting with the children, i will tweek the pattern and make some for spring in nicer fabirc too ... would loveto go even smaller - but dare i? this little mallard is 2 1/2 inches tall :-)
