Smile ❤️

 I taught teddy bear classes  for years ..I always used to say , when you go on courses you can tell how good they are or how bad by what they leave out ..that little secret that makes the designs work …that makes what your making ,look like the designers version 

Lisa shares it all in her Masterclass 

I have already learnt a tremendous amount 

I’m well impressed I’m making this boy ..and the terrier ..and I really think I want a goat LOL …I’ve always had a thing for goats 

Well worth the £8.00 a month

And it’s sparked my creativity ..I’ve a.ways wanted to make a felt doll …I can see someone special being,ade for my shop over the coming weeks ❤️

He’s sat on my work bench and I swear head smiling

Escape to the kitchen

 The news is just gut wrenching to watch 

A Ukrainian Facebook users shared images this morning , I sobbed 

I bought some patterns last night of a Ukrainian artist who has escaped with her children to Poland .. so glad she has made it to safety , I can only imagine what it must be like to leave everyone and everything you love behind 

So go to Etsy and buy PDF files from Ukrainian right now it may be their only income 


So I escaped the news today and played in the kitchen 

So exited about this x

Feeling creative

 Prep’ing patterns 

I always either cut my patterns out on plastic or card so as I can keep,and reuse them 

I print them off and use a decoupage medium to glue them to card and stiffen them 

It takes ages , but it’s worth it 💗
