White rabbit

I've recently recieved an order from a friend who's getting married in a few months, for 3 white rabbits for her small bridesmaids to hold on the day instead of flowers.

Here's the prototype I made yesterday.

I was SO pleased that I'd found exactly the material I want to use - a double sided, super fluffy dressing gown fabric - marvellous!!

I wasn't quite prepared for the hideous mess it made when I was cutting it!!

I'm going to try making the ears longer, and the belly a bit bigger and do something to make it look as though it actually has eyes (which it does!)

Our NEW yahoo group!

After much discussion with Pat Doyle, who makes fabulous dolls, we have decided to start our own group to support and encourage other doll makers (I do make dolls as well as knit, honestly!!).

We aim to run a variety of swaps, challenges and tutorials and whatever your skill level would love to welcome you to ukfabricfigures

What a bargain!!

These were the lasted bunch to be posted off last month. I find storing them becomes a problem, so I've decided to knit and sew up and then devote a day to stuffing and finishing off.......

I just LOVE wool and despite all my best resolutions not buy any more until I have used up ALL I have I couldn't resist these 7 balls which only cost 50p each - well, how could I ??!!

Knitted bears!

I was delighted to recently receive a photo of one of my bears with it's new owner (sorry it's such a fuzzy image) - suddenly it makes it even more worthwhile. I knit between doing all the jobs that don't give you long enough to achieve much, if anything else!

Busy, busy, busy!

I've started looking at more and more blogs recently, inspired by many things I discover and amazed at times by the wealth of information so freely given away!

I've added a link on the right to: http://jeenaskitchen.blogspot.com/ which was my most recent delight to find whilst hunting for a recipe for onion bhaji's - I made them, and ate them, they were delicious!!

This morning, we (me and my helper, Terri, who's 8) made up her chocolate cake recipe - added the icing and blobs on top with a bit of artistic licence!
