WIP - pretty eyes!

WIP - goat doll ... in need of clothes!

The basic goat doll is now finished, heat to toe, now he just cries out for some fantastic steam punk gadgetry and of course, something to wear!



some metal, and machine-like buttons helped me to joint him, and I made his limbs and face from a lovely Harris tweed ... don't tell the Harris tweed people I felted it in my washing machine though!



all four limbs are very pose-able, of course, and he appreciated this as he bent to crop my lawn ...



and sat back, to enjoy the spring sunshine!

WIP - goat doll ....

I love plush team challenges, the latest one is a steampunk theme!



the categories were characters, or gadgets and I went with characters ...



been poking around in my fabrics looking to create suitable steam-punk attire for this goat character ...



and i picked up some pretty little cogs for embellishments ...

Great Eggspectations!

one day we decided to have an egg guess - we have 5 chickens and they had just had a very muddy grumbly day, when we took a vote at tea time!



and would you know it, daisy was right - I was so eggsited as it was our first time we ever had all five birds lay! Mary made that lovely egg box lable ...



Daisy made this lable, and said Matty's Chicken looked like a goose ...



Matty said it didn't ...



but all the egg boxes look lovely, would anyone like some happy eggs?

jess, the muppet doll....WIP

Muppet Jess is getting some eyes - I started with the whites, and just popped in some pins so she didn't look too strange!



she also has 2 special tattoos, just like real Jess does!



I think she looks very happy !

goat WIP ....

the sneaky eyes of groats really appeal to me. I made these sneaky eyes out of copper wrapped buttons ... this will be a plush-team-challenge-sort-of-goat ...

New by-pass opens in Weymouth - Traffic cones out of work !

This week the new road in Weymouth opened up ... I don't have any idea how to leave town now! And thousands of traffic cones who had been employed in Weymouth and Littlemoor are now without work ...



Some are out and about, looking to start something - or stop something, rather ... even the suburbs are affected!



Meet my plush traffic cone at Best of Dorset this Sunday - look for the Artwey gang!
