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 ! 

WIP … Mathilda

 Still working on her ❤️Slowly and surely 

I’m taking my time and not rushing her ❤️

I love her 

Nose tomorrow…eyes and  I will paint her Monday 

Creative and happy

 Had a wonderful day yesterday in my work room 

Where I made Hitty and Matilda’s outfit ..Pauls off fishing today 

I was up at 5.30 setting up my yogurt …

And I will be returning to my workroom today …tiny boots to finish  and more work on Matilda Amd a beautiful dress to make for a Teddy on order …❤️

Relaxing day ❤️

 New Masterclass on Lisa Pay blew my mind …I’m really looking forward to making those boots !

I did a little work on a bear and my goat today 

And also did this …Gorgeous! 

I really wanted to have a go at making my own yogurt …so I have and it’s bloody lovely 

I swatted up on a couple of blogs 

hardest part was finding the yogurt function !

Turn the unit on , turn stop start dial to 

Select Yogurt / dehydration…

then turn the stop start dial  to select yogurt function , press TEMP AND TURN DISL TO SELECT YOGURT 

Add the milk ..I used 2 litres 

Use the pressure cooker lid with the vent open 

Let it boil …the unit displays “biol” it it will pip when it’s done 

Then it will switch to cool 

Leave it to cool …this took mine unit about 2 1/2 hours …just leave it ..don’t be tempted to skip this 

The unit pips …stir and whisk 

In 2 tablespoons of any live yogurt 

( I tipped it out and added it to a mixing bowl as I didn’t want to scratch my Ninja with the whisk ) 

Add it back to the Ninja ..close the lid …and press start again ,and it counts down from 8 hours 

Mine came out perfect after 8 hours 

Beautiful thick and creamy ..I wanted to try Greek ..so I strained it overnight…it’s like cream now ..it’s amazing 

I will be doing it again 

A real boy

 I’m multi tasking 

Working on a couple of bears , a goat

I reduced the masterclass Pinocchio

When he is done he will be for sale x 

Happy Easter to us

Violet

Gorgeous colour , terrible to sew so I backed the Sherpa with an iron web …next time I will use a woven backing for a little more give …but it’s worked beautiful 

Violet was born …she is an Easter Gift for my friends grandchildren ..I’ve made a couple of the little blankie bunnies for the babies too 

 

New project

 Despite working on 2 cardies and 2 jumpers 

I had to start this … I just think it’s beautiful

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
