In my creative space . . .
. . . a Mama Matryoshka and Baby sample ready to be sent to their new home at A Little Different in Geelong.
Where has this week gone? Has it been just as fast for you? I haven’t been able to do much making these past few days. Next week is looking a tiny bit less busy so I am hoping to get a few softies sewn up for Mirabel and even make a few more owls for the exhibition since the other ones have all found new homes.
How are you going with your gift-making? We put our Christmas tree up earlier this week and I just let the girls have free reign. They absolutely loved decorating it – the most wonderful giggles were heard in that one hour of merriment (nevermind that all the decorations are hanging on just one side of the tree :-)). I think I’ll need to get cracking on the gift-making too if I want to have them ready before Christmas!
I wish I was as organised as Anna, who sent me a lovely email this past week about the Happy Chibi Girls she has made for Christmas -
Yes, that’s seven Happy Chibi Girls!!! She’s done such a fantastic job. She also offered a great tip: if you are gifting these dolls to little kids (say 5 years old and under), then you can replace the felt on the hair with corduroy to make it easier for washing/cleaning.
Okey-dokes, better get off the computer and back to making lists :-) Hope you enjoy the rest of your week!
More creative spaces to enjoy over at Kirsty’s place. And please do pop by Claire’s to wish her a very happy 10 years of blogging!

I’m considering postponing Christmas until January…do you think that’ll work?
Hope you’ve made good headway with that list. xx

the felt does hold up for a bit, but it does have a tendancy to ball after awhile. the cordoroy is a fun twist! i might have to give that a try.
