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

So exited

 …so Saturday Paul took me to Stratford where I was attending a silversmith workshop …very nervous ..but I thoroughly enjoyed myself 

I’m dead exited about this new venture , I really am …Pauls being fully supportive and encouraging 

I’ve got a workroom to sort out and tools to purchase..but yeah I think I’m going to go for it ! 

SleepingElf Silver has a ring to it

I can sew 💙💙💙

 I really wanted a large tote bag , so I could throw my holiday/art journal in , my pinch of nom diary ,and my crochet / knitting ..and my water bottle , paints , Lippy , perfume , pens , phone …glasses and the kitchen sink …so I made one ! 

Although I have sewn miniatures for many years ..I’ve not actually sewn anything on a large scale 

Really quite pleased with myself ..I saw the tutorial on you tube and just followed it 

My dads old jeans , my only jeans …my old dinning room curtains , which I loved , to line 


My grab it , and everything is in it bag 💙💙💙
