Babushkas

Well I have been wanting to make one of these dolls for ages and finally got around to making a pattern, they have turned out ok, I may change the hair style next time, my most favourite site and inspiration for these girls is here, I spent ages going through all the varities and maybe able to afford a set one day, in the meantime I am happy to make my softie version.




The one on the left will be in the shop soon.... also check out the rabbits that I have made for easter. I will be stocked up for the next Craftmad, next weekend the 7th March, also if you are coming to the next Craftmad, bring a can or 2 of catfood, and go in the draw to win Bert and Ernie (here) and help us support the SPCA, each can earns you 1 ticket into the raffle, there is going to be close to 40 stalls at the next Craftmad so it will be a good one to visit, remember there is NO eftpos, so be sure to bring plenty of $.

I have been reaping the rewards of my garden the last few days, I grew Roma tomatoes this year and they are the perfect tomato for cooking, they don't go all watery, perfect for pastas and meatballs, I have also added some grated zuccini to the cooked mix and popped it all on the freezer, also the strawberries were a success, I was picking a punnet or two a day, so we now have strawberry jam, it feels so nice going to the freezer/pantry and being able to use the goods that I have made myself, it always brings back memories of my mum bottling/stewing.

Till next time.....

Ok, so I had heaps of fun at the Craftmad Market, and you know what, I even had a few people come up and say "I have one of your toys and I love it", yay, I have been waiting for that to happen, its such a awesome feeling and very inspiring. So you can see some photos here and you can keep up to date with all of the up coming markets and stall holders here.

I don't have much to report at the moment, I have a few designs that I want to make up before the next market. Mostly we here are back into the routine of school, kindy, dancing, swimming and bmxing, whew, I am tired already!!!!! Keep an eye out on the shops, a few new guys might pop up, the twisted divas and the Moo N Choo's were a hit, so guess what I'll be making more of.


till next time......
