In order

In order to keep the ball rolling

I worked on these....

In order to feel worthy, and organised (3rd birhday)

In order to satisfy my creative urge.... try out a technique, (tutorial here),beautify my spaces, and give something handmde to a friend, (belated birthday)

In order to fulfill my duty as a crafty mum
i made this



school holidays.........week three, bring it on!!

more peg doll fun

the girls played for days after making these dolls.

houses were built.

and yes that's right, even too busy to get out of their pj's..... all day I tell you, all day.

heart palpatations

Yes this is giving me heart palpitations I am stunned by this woman's work, any one who creates stuff like this, which is so completely ridiculous, and, and well beautiful, in my mind, I am totally in awe of.

I would love to feel free enough to go there, to think this stuff up and to actually do it.

Hats off Nina Katchadourian

spontaneous peg dolls

and that glorious winter afternoon sun

Happy Winter Solstice

pants

some yummy pants although the model is definately the star here

and this autumn inspired mobile from Arkie's kindi, i love that it looks like it is growing out of the wall, kind of antler like.

ned kelly needs some guns!!!

on a lighter note

crafting with kids

more to come..

collage

something i have often been intruiged by and wanted to have a go at is collage. and seeing the work of peter clark here is well very inspiring.

Finger Puppets

a pirate

and his girl

next i'll be attempting a Ned Kelly puppet, stay tuned..........

freaky

a little bit of making going on, albeit a little freaky.
she started off a bit disco all night dancing kind of wired and well pretty freaky by the end of the night

............................

I think i need freaky to cope with this everyday

i actually had to do all these dishes so i could make dinner, it was intensly difficult to get started and i spent most of the afternoon in pain just thinking about it, yuk, and each time i let it get this bad of course i swear i will keep on top of the washing up.....

but this was nice.

and so was this,

snatching warmish days at the beach, it almost feels like stealing, too good to be true.

WIP

The current WIP, "embroidery" I use this term loosely as I don't really have any knowledge of embroidery. I have seen this done with kids drawings and love it, and doing it is so rewarding.
I love retracing Arkie's drawing, I am actually feeling it rather than just seeing it, which allows me to "see" it in a different way.

Those mad eyes and crazy mouth, so so cute, and I am really looking forward to retracing those wayward arms...

And something for me! these chicks look so cool in these dresses, although somewhat more petite than moi! My grading skills will be put to the test when I attempt this!
