we are having a little raffle to raise money for the girl's netball uniforms so i made a mary laura ingalls doll. i didn't know i was doing that until i stitched that check bias around the bottom of her dress and there she was! a bonnet and a shawl and she was ready for a ride in the wagon.
ps what was i thinking?! i meant laura. i know mary was her sister but i meant laura. our household is down and out with full on head colds so maybe that was the reason!!!
have a lovely one xxx
ahhh............ a crisp autumn morning, children back at school, coffee, fresh baked oatmeal raisin cookies and a magazine!
since i got home from seattle i have done nothing but live and breathe fibre (so whats new!) i was lucky enough to get a job with a magazine here working on a new section they have introduced called handmade. i thought i was going to design a little toy but when i got there to my great delight there were a few pages and a few projects! so i have been very busy but have to keep the goodies under wrap till publication - july.
yesterday we had the photo shoot so i had to be super organised - i think i was -i was watching seinfeld at midnight the night before finishing up - that keeps a girl cheery, i can't help but laugh. i really enjoyed the shoot - great working with the photographer who had a fantastic eye. we worked all day and it was hard work but so much fun. when we were all done i had a wee lie down on the couch and had to literally peel myself off to do the school pick up!
this little tweeter was something i had made for the shoot but sadly for her she didn't make the cut. but she did make the blog!!
