Little Doll

This doll came about because I saw one on a blog that I now can't find and had a bit of an awwww moment. I was looking for something to hand stitch and a doll seemed like a perfect solution.

I all started off very well, I did the body, 

hair and face all in one sitting. And then I stopped! And it sat for about three weeks before I made this little dress. 

The face is the part I'm most proud off, I love all of those intricate stitches and I dont think I made her look too creepy. 

The hair however is a massive fail, I should not have chosen that colour red, its just far too gimiky and reminds me of "chucky" 

The body of the doll is adapted from my bunny rabbit pattern but I lengthened the legs and the arms.

so yeah its okay and it gave me something to do, but I'm in no way in love with it, I might make a second version but I'll use a less bright hair colour !

and make more clothes! [I had intended for this one to have a whole wardrobe but I lost interest!]

Much Love

Team Colours

This week has been weird, on the one hand it's half term so we've had lots of fun

Making pancakes for dinner 

And baking cakes ! Playing toys and having lazy cuddles in bed. But on the other hand I'm feeling fed up. Probably because im spending most of the day with a small child and not really getting out much, or getting much grown up contact.  In fact I'm terribly excited for tomorrow becuase not only will Rikki be here in the morning were also having visitors! YAY! People! 

I think the lack of sewing time has effected my mood aswell. There's only so much you can do with a four year old running around and I always worry he'll hurt himself. Luckily there has been time for knitting when lil man has been engrossed in toys. 

These booties are for rikkis cousin, in his teams colours. I always think men get the short straw when babies are born. Nearly all of our gifts were handed to me and I opened a fair few of them. In fact some people even got me gifts but didn't get Rikki anything which is a shame considering how well he looked after us both. 

So these were designed just with the babies daddy in mind. I've been pottering making some other bits too, but we don't yet know the sex of the baby so I'm having to do everything in two colours!!! 

Oh the things I do to give handmade!! 

So yeah finishing these cheered me up a bit , and we're going to walk to the shops in a bit for some things. Although the weather is putting me off. Both me and lil man hate rain with a passion!!! 

Much love
