Summer fruits and new dolls

Tweet

Not a view you want to see in the middle of July... But this is Scotland.

At least I've got summer on my plate! It's time to feast upon summer fruit! Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries in the morning. Figs, peaches and cherries for lunch. Then you're ready for mango. Finally, we've found out where to get super good mangoes in Glasgow. The Blochairn fruit market is the place to go. 

I'm working on different style dolls. Smaller, with big embroidered anime eyes. It's 17cm (6.5") tall. Definitely more of those are coming. 

This sweet little bear is another new addition to my Etsy shop

Rag Dolls

Rag dolls.
I've been really enjoying making rag dolls recently. Making their clothes, tiny skirts and dresses and knitting chunky cowls. I use recycled fabrics and yarn trying to make them as Earth friendly as possible.

Spring and a new owl brooch

Tweet

Oh Spring! How beautiful your expressions are! 

I feel like I'm getting back to life after the winter. What a difference can a few degrees and some sunshine make. Running in the park is so much nicer and I do it every day lately! Spending time outside plus a bonus chance to find and bring home a perfect prop for my new Owl Brooch photos :)

It was a beautiful day in Luss. First truly warm spring day. I've met some amazing, very talented people, learnt a lot and enjoyed every moment!  

There was also battle reenactment. I wish I took more pictures

Happy Easter and craft fair preparations

Felt Easter bunnies. I could sit and make them all day :)

This Easter I'm doing craft fair in Luss. They've placed my fox, bear and a cat on the banner!

All the little guys are ready

They can't wait to present themselves :)

Felt bear and cats in a basket

Tweet

This is the biggest bear I've made. It's a little bit sad, needs a hug or something :) 

That moment when you feel you MUST make tiny crochet basket... Like your life depends on it...

And of course all the felt cats immediately installed themselves in it.

Felt Foxes

Tweet

Foxes are amazing and beautiful animals. Recently I had the pleasure to meet Fred the Fox in Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue. I've never been so close to a fox in my life and Fred is such a friendly lil fellow. Shame, I didn't take a photo of him, I'll do it next time I'm there.

So inspired by Fred I've made two felt foxes. One is wearing a floral bow, another chunky knitted scarf. They're both like to stay classy in the woods :)

Foxes arrived in my Etsy shop
