The Mock Turtle

Lovely origami! The pumpkins are cute too.

It’s here Teasel - https://madebyjacksmum.com/shop/crowning-glory/

Here’s the arrow t-shirt and bald dolls. The girls helped but we ran out of time for hair today.

Such lovely things. The grins on your girls are the best though Wendy.

I know this won’t be to everyone’s tastes but I’ve repainted a nutcracker (from the pound shop) into a pumpkin one. I’m hoping to make a few more (vampire, witch, skeleton and zombie or Frankenstein’s monster)

That’s cool! I like the other ideas too.

That’s very clever!

As it’s you. It will probably crease a bit in the post, be warned!

Oh you are so nice! I love it. Thank you.

I need to see what else I can do here. I'd really like a purple silk ballgown.

How funny - that’s on the to do pile for dolly! I’m not scaling that up for you though.

You're mean. Bean would look great in that.

I thought it WAS Bean.

Nope, its face is too large.

Some of you are not as funny as you think you are.

Here is my latest book binding attempt. It's called a French link stitch and I think it looks quite pretty. It makes it easier to open and lay the pages flat so is good for sketch books. I'm going to put a cover on it but leave the spine exposed.

That’s lovely!

Finished. This is actually for a turtle but I am pretty sure she never comes in this section of the board.

That's lovely, Bean

That’s gorgeous, so clever!

That's lovely, the exposed spine works so well with that cover.

You'd be surprised where people lurk when there's not much happening in their 'usual' forums!

That's very pretty.

Today ended up being a sewing day. I finished Sproglette’s dressing gown and made 3 pairs of pyjama bottoms. They have vests to wear with them (and Elvis is only getting one pair as she got birthday pyjamas) and I’ve done a grow-with-you hem I can let down when Sproglette’s legs get even longer.

Both are lovely and very clever! I used to love a dressing gown right down to the floor, I’ve been looking for one as an adult for years.

Bean, your notebooks are SO lovely.

I'm just here looking for inspiration for what to do to keep myself entertained when I knock the booze on the head for a bit. You are all so clever, I am very jealous of you with your crafting talents.
