I just want to share

I am flat out at the moment and have been without internet for a week... I will catch up on the Teddy drawings on Monday as I am going away today and will not be home until Sunday night.

But I just wanted to show you these pics of my Cardinal .. Charlie Chirp that was in Homespun last month... This was made by Teresa...... please go to her blog and have a look at the wonderful things that Teresa makes......

   

Hasn't Teresa done a fantastic job oh her Charlie Chirp.......?????

Now I have a couple of pics of two lap quilts that one of our daughters made..... these are the first things she has ever sewn...how well did she do...???? I am impressed....

 
Well I have to get off here now... we are off to our diabetes break up today and then we are going to stay at a friends place until Sunday. Tomorrow we have a little craft Christmas party that we have each year and then on Saturday another day helping our friends to get the last of the stuff from their old house into the new house.... and on Sunday another Christmas break up party.... I will be partied out by the time Monday comes around..... but I will take a stack of pics on Monday of some wonderful things that I have been trying to show you for weeks.. some of them months...... but the wait will be worth it.. I promise.....

 until Monday... have fun

 
 
 
 
 

Today's teddy stitchery is up.....

Today I have drawn a cute little ballerina teddy.. I hope you like her...

 
 

First post for today....

Just thought I would show you a pen holder I have just made...... I tell you we can't throw out anything we think we might be able to use.. thank goodness we usually sell these as quick as we make them.. or else I would have a storage problem.... LOL

I painted a cute little baby teddy to go on this one...... they also look cute with Raggedies and cats and snowmen... etc etc..... they go hand in hand with our little billy cnas that we also make from an empty tin......

These are for sale for $8 each.. how cute is it..?????

 

Here is a pic of our billy cans they are $10 each...... can also have anything painted on the label and have any colour fabric as well......

 

 
 

 
 

Two of my latest dolls

I have just posted off this order for two of my Gracie dolls.... I love making these little cuties...

 
I will have some more pics later today hopefully..... 

 

Give away on Retro Mummy's blog

Go HERE to have a chance at winning 12 fat quarters..... from the Grandmother's garden collection of fabrics.....

 

 
 

Some pics....

Here is the first of the pics I promised you...... This is a gift I received in a PIF from Anita... you will find Anita's blog in my favourites on the right hand side of my blog... Riley's Ramblings..... Thank you Anita..... I love this the colours are beautiful and I will get a better pic of it later on as it was rather dark when I took this one....

 

I have been searching one of my craft rooms for the keyboard and mouse to the Tangerine Apple Mac.. I know they are in there.. found the computer and everything else I have been missing for ages... but not the keyboard and mouse...... I will keep searching.... and may as well clean and sort and throw out what I don't need or want any more while I am at it..... here are a couple of pics to show you the mess I have made while I have been searching... I am a shocker... LOL

Finally here again

I have been flat out the past few weeks... two of our daughters came over for a week's visit and we never stopped..... I am finally here with the next two teddy drawings... I hope you like them and are managing to get some of them stitched....

Our daughters and I went to see the movie.. New Moon..... I loved it.... I do like a good vampire movie...... plus lots of shopping was also done while they were visiting.... they are now 5 hours away from us again..... so we have to phone each other every day now, until we go out to visit next winter... way too hot out where they live for us to visit in summer.

I am hoping to get  a lot of pics taken by later this week.... I have tons of things to show you all.. some are very late but I will get them up on the blog... I haven't had much of a chance to do this since hubby got sick.... so now is catch up time.....

By the way hubby is getting better... he still has a lot of pain in his right knee... but he is managing to get around a little better, though still has to use the hopper walking frame and I still have to do most things for him....

I better go now until later today when I hope to get back on here and do some more chatting and hopefully have a few pics to show you all.....

Fish and salad for lunch today, but before that I have some more cleaning to get done and then have to half an hour on the Wii fit plus.... oh what fun that game is..... LOL

Look who has made the cover on Homespun....

Yes my first solo magazine project and I have made the front cover... Charlie Chirp is my project in the November Issue of Homespun... I am stoked.. I hope you have all bought the issue and had a good read... and if you make Charlie Chirp..Please send me a pic so I can see....

Here is a pic of Charlie Chirp...

Kits are available for $15 Australian plus postage....

I will be back tomorrow with the next Teddy stitchery... two of our daughters are visiting us this week and today we are off to Maree's place for a BBQ.....

Have fun everyone..

Some gorgeous dolls to show you all.....

These dolls have been made by one of my favourite Aussie doll makers...... Margaret Kirchner.. And these dolls are her own design....The woman has an amazing talent for making the most gorgeous Raggedies.. and you all know how I love my Raggedies..... the following pics show some of Margaret's adorable Raggedies and Blackies.......

    

I Love the first little Blackie dressed in pink....... check out the gorgeous little toys Margaret has made for each darling to hang onto..... how cute is that little bunny and the wee teddy.. I love them all......
