Finished!!

She's done! Finished, wrapped and ready to go - tomorrow.
I'm still not sure I like her, or indeed who she is or what she's supposed to resemble, but the feeling of actually finishing something is remarkable!!


Oh, Christmas Tree!



YES!! got the decorations all up yesterday

and I confess,

I do quite like this fuzzy photo!

Not quite as long!

Crikey - who's this!
Yet more lack of co-operation!! I was aiming to make a librarian for a member of staff who’s leaving at work, and then decided to make a school girl, representative of one of our pupils, then changed my mind totally and came up with this!!
She's not quite finished, as I've added a base and I'm going to make some books, to try and get back to the library theme..... not sure it's going to work!
She was originally based on this free pattern that works well.

Napkin Doll


I've been experimenting recently with Judi Ward's Napkin Doll pattern which can be found by clicking the link below - it's a fabulous pattern and I've enjoyed using it enormously.

OH! What a difference a change
of hairstyle can make!

This doll seemed to have a mind of its own, and when finished we couldn’t resist naming it “William” as it somehow looked too much like a boy not to!
I did start to wonder after a while quite what the transformation would be with different hair, and curiosity got the better of me, the result is shown beneath!




This is the NEW look!




THE CRAFT FAIR.....

The craft fair wasn’t a massive success, although on a positive note, I made enough money to cover the cost of the stall. I sold this fairy doll, shown below - designed from Judi Ward's Napkin Doll pattern, a bear and 3 small snowmen, spent two days with my sister in law (who I rarely see) and took time out from the monotony of housework!



The Stall!
