The UFO's Have Started







I've put my princess on hold while I finished this little doll, so yes, I now have a UFO (un-finished object), which I promised myself when I started this blog I would never do. Hah! I will finish her, but not by the 30th Di, sorry. I have a real fondness for small dolls and this little one sits in the palm of my hand. Her little friend is an elephant made from felt. Painting her little features was extremely enjoyable - I even ignored the husband's feedback that he now knows what I'll look like when I'm 100 (greying hair pulled back, still wearing my flannel pyjamas and squinting through my old-girl glasses - very sexy image huh?). Anyway, he'll keep. I've had an ebay site for a couple of years now (lillys_dolls_and_fine_art) - haven't used it for 2 years so I thought I'd get back into it and list this little one as an auction. Cross your fingers!

Little Princess










My current project! I bought some fine copper wire at our local market and thought I'd try a bit of crochet and came up with this little tiara, which I thought needed a little person to wear it. So here she is sans clothes!

Lovin' the creative juices!











Just a few of my works in progress. I plan to list these on my Etsy as I complete them. The jester needs bells, a few more stitches for my little dunce boy and something to hold in Cherry's basket. I plan to sell the pattern for the jester on etsy and I'm currently creating another two - one in blue and white and the other in black and white. I'm on annual leave for all of next week (yahoo buckaroo) and so there will be no excuse not to complete them. I hope it rains so then it will be guilt free indoor pleasure.
