Little Colourful Gems Across the Blogosphere
Fawns are still in progress but getting closer to completion. I’ll be re-opening my etsy shoppe this Sunday and the fawns will be available for purchase then. Next week: A batch of grumpy owls on tree stumps :-)
I’m slowly working through all the blogs in my Reader (although current unread items still stands at 1000+!) and so far I have come across some real gems that I thought I’d share here:
>> A beautiful pattern by Yasmine entitled “Little Princesses”. I think this would look gorgeous as a little girl’s dress, on cushions, or used to upholster one of those kid-sized armchairs:

>> Stunning handmade and hand-painted art dolls based on Alice in Wonderland by Cart Before the Horse (via Plush You)

>> “Garden Nest” is definitely my favorurite Amy Sol painting to date. She also provides in-progress photos, which make me just as happy as seeing the finished piece!

>> Poketo’s new range of Paper-cut Wallets – especially this one by Jayme McGowan:

>> The colourful work by Simon Wild, particularly this mixed media piece “The Sounds That Brilliant Things Make”

>> Speaking of brilliant, I am continually floored (and once I pick myself off the floor – inspired) by the softie characters created by Jodie of Ric-Rac. It’s very hard to believe she suffers from EITTTS at all! :-)

>> The re-styled Shakira dress on Burdastyle. Love the colour! (But pretty sure I couldn’t pull that off myself – might opt for a darker palette and tiny bit longer too . . . that is, once I get over this fear of actually making my own clothes!)

>> I also LOVE this Colette dress (Ceylon) that Teegs made. Doesn’t she look gorgeous! I’ve got that Colette pattern on my Must-Make List.

Is it only Tuesday?! It’s already been a crazy week. I can’t wait to go for a run tonight in much cooler temps. Hello Autumn my dear friend, how wonderful of you to drop by again!!

hmmm, i share your fear of making clothes for myself too. but i have decided to face my fear at a stitch and bitch weekend where they’ll be lots of ladies to help me. i’m going to make myself a skirt by taking apart an old favourite of mine and use that for the pattern….it’s virtually disintegrated anyway so nothing to lose if it all goes pear shaped….hehehe, so to speak. have a good week.

I went for a run this morning, and 30 degrees felt warm! It’s been really cold lately, so it was nice to not freeze and have to run in 10 layers. How’s the running going, are you training for a race or just running to make your own day? (I do the latter!)

I love them all, but i think my favorite is the stuffed little guys. as for sewing your own clothes—you never know until you try!
