My First Try At Sculpting

Hi here I am again, sorry for being away so long, will try harder to post more regularly.  I didn't really have anything to share for a while there but am back on track again and have a few things I am playing with.  I decided to have a try at sculpting the oven bake clay, which was a lot harder than I originally thought it would be.  Finally I have a wee face that came out of the clay that actually went in the oven and got baked and then painted and I am reasonably happy with him for a first try.   Will now try and make the rest of him and have started some hands today so thats going to be interesting indeed.

So heres a few pics of my first one 

Doll Club - Heaps of Pictures

Today was Doll Club day, mind I think we need to change the name to CRAFT club as we are all doing so many different things nowadays.  I took some clay to play with and am quite pleased with what I have done so far but wont show it unless it works out after some refining .......  I have heaps of pictures to share today which is great, had lots of show and tell and we had a really great day out, lots of fun and its neat to see what the other girls have been making.  Beryl brought in 3 quilts she has made, just fantastic, the last one is not quite finished but its going to be fantastic.  

Beryl and Margarets naughty fairies

Gorgeous cross stitch that a lady did for Rose

Margarets Gollies she is making on canvas

Margarets daughter brought in the below houses she has been making from Canvas, they were pretty extraordinary 

Bag Finished

Well here it is all finished, not happy with the shitty flower I put on it LOL will make a better one another day.....great pattern and really easy to make up - I added pockets inside on both sides and both sides of the outer as well.   Thanks Khris was a great one to make and I enjoyed it and a good size bag as well.  (please excuse the inside it needs a wee bit of an iron LOL)

Quick peek of what I am making today

I loved the Pattern that Khris gave the free tutorial on which I featured in my last post so thought I would make a start and get one done, so here it is half way done - fingers crossed by this evening it will be all finished and ready for a photo.

Free Tote Bag Pattern at Sew Prim Khris blog

My friend Khris has put up a free tutorial for the below tote bag - its really lovely and I cant wait to make it, hop on over to her blog and get it.

Whats on my design wall

Well its been a while again LOL but there you go that's what happens when you work full time.  Today I have been sewing - Yayyyy - feels great as well.   My good friend Khris made a quilt recently and it really appealed to me as it looked so nice and crisp, well Khris has decided to make a pattern out of it and she is letting me test the pattern so I made a start on it today.   I have broken out my jelly roll and charm squares I got for my birthday and they are so nice and bright I love this range.   Hope you like it so far I sure do.

Sewing People Clothes

I have been sewing what I call " people clothes" LOL....... meaning for myself which is something that never seems to work out for me....... but I needed some warm tops for the winter for wearing over comfy tights at home and couldn't find anything the right length etc in the shops so decided to make something for myself.  So yesterday I made two tops which will do nicely to keep me warm and comfy with winter soon to make an appearance here.  Sorry for the quality of the pics but my bedroom is extremely dark and the only place with a mirror that would work LOL

A Surprise Parcel - yipeeeeee

Yipeee I got a parcel in the mail yesterday and waited till this morning to unwrap so I could take pictures of the goodies, Naomi  says it is a belated Xmas and birthday pressie, how cool to get something unexpected in the mail.  I have been really busy at work and getting home late at night so this was a great feel good boost, I love it all.

Really Really Bad Eyeballs
