In My Creative Space

Posted Thursday 5 November 2009 and filed under: Just Sharing, Original Chibi Dolls

. . . crocheted-belly Peg Bears in progress for the show:

Happy November! We arrived a few days ago from our very short holiday in Sydney where we had a long overdue catch-up with friends - friends I’ve had since high school. We get together every once in a while and it’s always a wonderful and amazing experience to see each other again and see how our families have grown, and where we are in our individual lives. Every time we get together it really is as if we have never been apart. A real blessing.


{The Youngest and I having an important conversation at Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney}

I’ve taken time off from work to make softies for the show and I think I am almost half-way there. Hope to post the details of the show on the weekend - it opens in about 10 days time - yikes! Back to the sewing machine!

Thanks to Kirsty, you can find more Creative Spaces here.

    Great idea to combine crochet and fabric for a softie. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

    tried emailing you this link but it didn’t work :( I think you should take a look at this… looks way to close to be someone elses original

    The peg bears are just gorgeous. I love the combo of crochet and fabric. Bit partial to it myself in fact!

    I love catching up with old school friends too, it’s so comforting to be around people who have known you forever and a day.

    Hi Jho!

    I really adore that photo of you and your daughter, it looks like its just been taken out of the pages of a classy lifestyle magazine! So natural, and gorgeous!

    I love your display and your new softies, as always! I’m not sure I can make the exhibit - but it sure does look good!!!!

    Hugs! Vikki xo
