New style shoes

 Mom asked me for a shoe …or bootie …these remind me of the shoes an old school friend used to wear ..I will never forget the day he started school and he wore  these suede shoe type boots …

Anyway I was inspired to make them for Shadow ..my newest baby  of course I sold them and now need to make more ..but these are the Sasha size …and they also are available in baby / toddler size

Frida …Trendon Sasha

 Sadly this poor girl had hair fall ..so she had to be wigged 

I was asked for a Frida Sasha …I wanted to capture the iconic look of Frida

Florrie

 Before these are her auction photos and her face , with the paint removed and her wig removed 




I decided to wash and condition her wig , and enhance her face with watercolours …the wig came up beautiful

Sewing and dolly mojo

 I’ve been totally out of whack since my hols …I really want to make things with my glass , but have several projects in the way before I can do this 

I need to sort out my work room ..a lot of dolls to be sold off too 

Lots of work to be done …doesn’t help that my hip has decided to give up the ghost …I’m in a lot of pain ..again and it’s affecting my mobility …still I’m still getting things done …slowly 

Hospital contacted me …x rays Monday to find out what’s going on with my swanky new hips 

And I settled down to sewing .. I don’t normally make fabric shoes …I’m not comfortable making them but the brief is a fabric shoe to go with an oriental outfit …so I did 

I used Lisa Pays Pinocchio shoe and resized it , ..perfect ..I’m quite pleased with it

Mathilda


 Mathilda is looking thoughtful

And I’m wonderful who or what to do next 

I can’t wait to get my airbrush going again 

I really want to do a denim bear , airbrushed,  dresses , I’m loving the frills and lace 

I also want to do the Boston Terrier and a doll 

I’m so pleased after all these years I’m happy making large bears and clothes and airbrushing ! And crochet ! 

And I can read patterns .. I’m so happy ! LOL

Mathilda

 Today I spent the morning in the dentist … yuck 

I was very exited about getting home to finish Mathilda the goat …I’ve been working on her for a couple of weeks now ,

I jumped right in set up my kit …and nothing happened 

Then I spent the next 2 hours stripping down the airbrush to getting it to work 😡

I used to use an industrial airgun ,many years ago I used to use one ,when I was a fabricator , so I’m no stranger to stripping one down and putting it back together again ..I soon had her working 

And work it did …

I use Jacquard Dye-na-flow iron-fix silk paint ,In an Iwata airbrush and compressor it’s amazing ..I can see me using it a lot more now I’m this happy 

Finally I finished Mathilda ..she is on Etsy 

Although I will be quite happy if she doesn’t sell LOL 

My heads exploding with ideas 

I really want to do an Alpaca …and a dog …and a denim bear !

I’ve got no Strings ❤️

 I’ve got no strings

To hold me down
To make me fret
Or make me frown
I had strings
But now I’m free
There are no strings on me
Hi o the merio, that's
the only way to be!
I want the world to know
notin' ever worries me

I’ve got no strings so I have fun
I’m not tied up to anyone
They've got strings but 
you can see there are no strings 
on me!

You have no strings your
arms are free
To love me by the
Zeider Zee
Ya,ya,ya if you 
would woo 
I'd burst my strings 
for you

You've go no strings
comme ci comme ca
Your savoir faire is ooh
la la
I've got strings,but
entre nous
I'd cut my strings for you

Down where
de Volga flows
Dere's a Russian 
rendezvous
Where me and Ivan goes
But I'd rather go with
you,Hey!

There are no strings on me

Little Ted 🐻

 He’s so cute 

Made from Sherpa fleece fabric ..I had to make him after I stumbled across the tutorial on You a tube 

Cuddle bear by Lisa Pay

https://youtu.be/NbnJ_FmGtnc

I knew I had to make one for each of my Grandkids 

Brilliant tutorial and pattern 

Highly recommended , I thought bear making and have done many classes , this is the type of pattern and tutorial I would have recommend  

A little Ted I am keeping ❤️

The Sherpa was very thin ..although lovely colour and so soft 

So I used a thicker PVA/Glue mix …as it didn’t bleed through the fabric and wreck the pile 

But next time I will make sure the Sherpa is good quality x
