Get Your Art on Day 14 - Doll one Done..Almost

The night is young and yet I have alot of things to do, pack for sydney..clean the house well tidy up a little, make sure dogs stuff is sorted for his babysitting make sure my art journal is with me...and my new art journal since I have an inkling I shall finish my current one in Sydney.
This little darling is what I've spent two grueling days on, so my art time..is the art of doll making. I just have to knit her a little red scarf to go around her neck, and she be done. This little dear is Emma.

I'm so sleepy lol, these dolls might be small but they sure do take some fiddling. I have the proper enlarged size now, so if I'm game enough I'll make my little girl one, and my niece.

Pop over to Traci's blog to see her finished journal page spread, I shall see you tomorrow with whatever I do in between the crazyness of packing two small humans and a mamma up for two weeks away.

a little girl..and her blanket.

after camp Courtney wound up sunday afternoon the house felt empty, but the days the girls were here, were filled with laughter sewing, and creating. I could do camp every single day....the highlight was the coming together of something very close to my heart.

my very first quilt...for my little quirky daughter. Al ot of mistakes, a lot of wonky lines, but a hell of a lot of love...and the pink cloud if girly is finished.


dots and spots..butterflies and cupcakes, flowers and paisley are just some of the prints featured in this quilt. I learnt so much making this quilt, what not to do, what to do and what was just right.


wonky sashing, due to my dodgy basting, straight line quilting that felt like it went on and on and on! but all of it doesnt matter....because my lily...adores it.

all women in some way did their bit to make this quilt special for lily, right down to the hand embroidered patch on the back saying made with love. Im proud to have been able to give my little girl something truly unique...
and now its time I start collecting boy fabrics, so master elijah can have his own...
enjoy your monday afternoon in the soft sunlight
thankyou once again to the wonderful ladies who made my weekend truly amazing.
