Two Clara's

Do you remember, last year around the same time I made two little Nutcrackers using a Wee Wonderfuls pattern. Last year on Christmas day when my sisters received these Nutcrackers, I promised that next year a creation of some sort would be made to go with the Nutcracker. So this year I have made two Clara's. They don't really look like Clara but I thought they would look boring if they did, so I dressed them up a little in Christmas colours! The two Clara's are made from my very own Rosanna pattern and I am very happy with the turn out. My sisters will hopefully have a great Christmas with these dolls. Here are some pictures~

If I don't get to you before the big day; Merry Christmas

Doll for Fanning

Today I have made a doll, commissioned by Bernad Fanning's sister for Bernad Fanning's daughter, who lives in Spain! I am so excited by this and I thank the commissioner for asking me to make a doll for little Gabriella. This opportunity is really great and I am so honored to have it. I have made another Tag-a-long doll for her, with a pink dress and a purple collar. I'm very happy with the turn out and will be handing her over with pride. Here she is

Success

The Bardon Markets were a huge success, I sold nearly all of my stuff and earnt a whopping $182!!! Which means I get about $150 profit! I just can't believe all the support I got, even if someone didn't buy anything I got such supportive and encouraging comments about my stall. I am definaty going to do the stall again in the near coming year.

Christmas Helpers

With the horrible summer weather, this week I've been making heaps of Christmas decorations, getting ready to sell them this Sunday, the 11th of December, at the Bardon Community Markets (if you live in Brisbane and reading this, please come along!) I have also created my own doll. I designed, made a pattern and sewed this doll up all by myself with no help any books or people. I am calling this type of doll, Rosanna, after one of my great friends. I have to admit that these dolls are very good, not being modest at all, and there will be few of them at the Markets on Sunday! The hardest thing making these dolls was choosing the fabric, I think my first doll looks better than my second because of the choice of fabrics. Here is the first Rosanna~

And the second Rosanna~

Christmas Fever

My Birthday has passed and now I'm into the Christmas Spirit! I have made lots of Christmas decorations for the tree and to wear, using patterns by Molly's Scapbook and RevoluzZza. I am hoping to sell these at the Bardon Community Markets on an upcoming sunday, I'm really excited about it. The below is a Christmas star by RevoluzZza~

Here is my Christmas Tree I will continue to decorate.

Aboriginal SOSE Project

Well I have finished my SOSE project on Aboriginal Body Painting, and this is the final result. I embroidered all the patterns and totemic symbols and sewed in the hair. I think it looks great. Dad made a special stand for them and a presented my work to the class and luckily got an 'A' for my work! Here is a picture of the dolls- the left one has designs of the desert regions and the right one has designs of the coastal regions.
