My Creative Space.

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…?

  5. Oop Anastasia - I think you've got your blogs crossed!

    Note 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... ;)

  8. 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
