One great thing about heading off to the Brown Owls every fortnight, apart from hanging out with some super lovely crafty chickies, is that I will have something to share at least every two weeks for My Creative Space.
Not long after I posted about my troubles deciding on what to make for Softies for Mirabel, the solution came to me as if by magic.
I saw my gran down the street on Tuesday after she’d just left the opshop, she had a doll bed for Punk (that I had to buy off her for $2.50!) that I didn’t particularly want, it had pink & lace & if Punk never got another toy again for the rest of her life she would still have too many, but I felt obliged. I threw it in the back of the car without a second thought until it crossed my mind yesterday & a light bulb went off. Consider the above photo as the official “Before”.
So last night I start embroidering two faces for one doll. I bet someone can guess who I’m making…?
More spaces here.
teehee... I love that your Nan made you pay for it!
ReplyDeleteLove embroidering! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for droping a peek to my space and congrats on your up coming baby-boy! :)
xx
Greetings from Mallorca!
Hehe!! thats funny about your Nan. I too love embroidery, something relaxing about it. Looking forward to seeing the finished result!
ReplyDeleteyes I get it what you're making, I am making a similar one for christmas for my lil girl... look forward to seeing it finished :)
ReplyDeleteOop Anastasia - I think you've got your blogs crossed!
ReplyDeleteNote to others: THERE IS NO BABY BOY IN MY FUTURE (apart from the one I already have who is growing up at an alarming rate...)! Just to clear that up... ;)
Hmmm a bit topsy turvy over here!
ReplyDelete(what happened to the fabric paint?!)XX
Vic - you still have 'up and coming baby brother' in your profile description... maybe time for an update? :)
ReplyDeleteOh and happy (belated) birthday to Spence and can't wait to see what these gorgeous faces turn into...
Sleeping beauty! Sorry I just had to guess outloud:) I really need to start the doll that will be my littlest xmas gift, but the face is the part that scares me the most! Hopefully I will get to bring it one night to brown owls when its in progress and get some help:) Cyndy
ReplyDeleteI think I am having a slow day - couldn't work it out till I read the previous comment. And wow how lucky are you that you can walk down the street and bump into your gran.
ReplyDeleteOh I hear you on the too many toys, can't wait to see how that dolls bed scrubs up. I've been pondering what to make for the softies for mirabel, will have to get cracking on it over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteJanine - I wrote that after he was born, as in he's "up & coming" in the world... will rethink it lol.
ReplyDeleteAs for the guessing - not sleeping beauty but on the right track!
I was going to guess sleeping beauty but now I'll guess snow white!
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling about kids with too many toys...LOL. And giggled at you buying the bed from your gran...wish I could just bump into my grandma on the street like that. :)
ReplyDeleteOh! I know! The wolf in granny's clothing waiting for little red riding hood in bed! Or the princess and the pea! I'm running out of ideas!
ReplyDeleteOooh I love op-shop stuff make overs, especially kids stuff. I'm was thinking matrushka doll princess, with a pile of 'princess and the pea' mattress's? Maybe with a crochet pea?!!
ReplyDeleteHaha your Gran sounds like a character ;)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what becomes of those faces.
What a funny story about your Grandmother making you pay for something she got for your daughter.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your finished project.
Well I haven't got a clue but can't wait to see it when it's finished.
ReplyDeleteOoh sounds interesting and looking good!
ReplyDeleteso sweet! really looking forward to seeing the end result!
ReplyDeleteLovely done! And that bed is sooo cute! thank you for popping by my site. I'm so glad i did a right thing with that paper after all.
