Pocket Friends

I have been busy sewing up a storm for a custom order over the weekend. These two sweet pocket friends have stolen my heart! They are so cute. I actually timed myself when I made the bear and it took me about 4 hours! She is all hand sewn except for the body. I love making them though and seeing them come together.

First post of the year

After taking a long break I have decided to come back to the blogging world. So HELLO again.

You might have noticed I am giving the blog a mini makeover. More simple layout and style which I am loving. I am no computer whizz but I am slowly figuring out how to do stuff.

I am working on a couple of custom orders at the moment. My zombie pirate dolls are still a huge hit. I have been thinking for a while now that I might make it into a pattern down the track. I have never written up a pattern before so it will be a fun learning experience for me.

Valentines Day is next week. The boy and I have a tradition of going out for dinner or a nice candle lit dinner at home. We don't go out and buy lovey dovey gifts because we have been together for almost 9 years now and it's the random gifts or thoughtful acts through out the year that count the most.

So what are your plans for the day of love??

My Creative Space

This week has been busy with making pirates. These three are now enjoying their new home and after I finish writing this post I will be making another 2 for a custom order :)



This sweet horse I whipped up yesterday for a birthday present for a horse mad girl. First attempt at making a horse like this and she turned out pretty cute.

I have so many ideas running around in my noggin at the moment that I want to sew up. So excited.

Inspirational Monday

Starting from today I am going to post inspirational photos, quotes etc on Mondays to help us remind ourselves that it's the simple things in life that count and to feel better about yourself to carry through with you for the rest of the week.

Happy Monday everyone

Sneak peek

I would like to show you a sneak peek at a new doll I am designing. So far she is coming together nicely. Still need to tweak a few things but she should be finished soon.

I have also been busy making pirates. I showed my two pirates that I had made a year ago to the girls at work and the orders came pouring in. I made this fellow for the lovely Sarah and I'm happy she loves him.



So hopefully today I will get stuck in and make three more cheeky pirates. Although it's going to be hard to stay inside on this beautiful hot spring day we are currently having on the Gold Coast.
