Cuddly Thomas Hardy!

Seems I haven't added anything to this blog since the 'Great Snow-In Card Making' session! I have been crafting, however I can't put things on here until after the birthday of the person I have been crafting for!

This was a present for a friend who loves the author Thomas Hardy. I sewed up a rag doll shape from white material, printed Thomas Hardy's face onto iron on transfer paper and ironed it on. Then, after stuffing, made him a little suit with a cravat.





In the words of my friend - 'Freaky but marvelous!'

Snowed In Cards

Too much snow around to go out, so have made lots of cards! Here's a selection:

Sock Penguin Bowling

Here's handsome young Mr M's Christmas present - penguin bowling made out of socks, with a bag to keep them in!

Fireplace

Lots of crafting, but not much blogging! Must try to keep up.

Anyway, here's a fireplace I crafted out of a huge cardboard box at work (as you do!).

Two owl cards

I haven't been on here for ages! Haven't done much crafting recently - been too busy with family history. Loving the London parish records on Ancestry!
Anyway, went off to the wilds of North London yesterday to meet up with Maggiebob and shop at the craft fair at Ally Pally! Spent a bit of money!
Got this cute owl stamp, which I used on these two cards. He did have little feet, but I like him better without!
