WOYWW....

Happy Wednesday to one and all.  It's that day of the week when a lot of creative folk share what they have been doing and what they have on their desk today.  Julia really did start something didn't she?  I can't thank her enough....and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

 

As you will see in yesterday's post I have now finished the special puppet I was asked to make and he will soon be winging his way off to his new home.  I have now been asked to make another Mr Tumble doll so today that is what you can see on my desk.  Here you can see I have sorted out the fabrics needed.

 I have got out my 'old faithful' doll making book and have cut out all the pieces I need for his special clothes.

Here you can see all the body parts cut out and ready to sew so you can guess what I plan to be making today.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all who made suggestions on last week's blog.  Twiglet and I have done a lot of planning using some of the ideas and over the next few weeks I'm sure our plans will be put into production.  Watch this space as they say.

Now, enough from me,  please pop over to Julia's blog and check out all the other creative spaces that are being exposed today.  Thanks for visiting and for all your wonderful comments.

School boy puppet...

I have now finished my commissioned puppet and as promised I am here to show him to you all.  

The lady who asked me to make him is the proud owner of McPuppet who I made a few years ago.  She received him for a special birthday as a gift from some very special friends of mine.  He has a kilt, sporran and even a Tam o' Shanter hat.  Here's a quick snap of him.... the photo quality is poor sorry but I think you can see what he was like.

I've never met this lady but she tracked me down to make a special puppet for her son to leave behind him as he leaves his primary school.  We chatted over what she wanted and she offered to send me a sweat shirt to cut up so he was dressed correctly as a little school boy  :-)  I really love a challenge and I have spent this morning putting the finishing touches to him.  I hope she likes him as much as I do...he's quite a character.

Onward and upward for me next  :-)  I have now been contacted to make another Mr Tumble doll :-)  It's such an exciting job I have....I am soooooo lucky.
