As usual life has not giving me much creative time.....

I have managed to finish a few projects though,  my Beani Jesters.

They have no names as yet, so if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them, I'm planning to make a few other characters.

And here is the full view of my beani jesters.....by adjusting the plastic pellets inside their bodies I can pose these dolls in different positions.

What I've Been Up To........

Been quiet lately, only because I've been so busy with orders etc and all the end of year stuff, this time of year is always hectic for most.

I had a nice surprise this week, I received 'Just Steampunk' magazine, (never heard of it) and my Time Keeper was in there, lots of eye candy in there too.

My Tatania is in the current Soft Dolls & Animals.

 

I also made 2 new Isabo dolls, one of my most popular patterns-

 These are for sale and would make lovely gifts.

I have listed many items on Ebay  (after a very long time)-

Well wishing you all the best with all your holiday planning...............

It's been a while since I last posted.

NEW CHRISTMAS ELVES- PIPPA & OLIVER

I've just completed my NEW CHRISTMAS ELVES- PIPPA & OLIVER-
They are 2 very cute, TOY MAKER ELVES- 39cm (15 ½”) Tall.
 As you know my hubby and I have been doing a lot of work around the house, (never ends) well a few weeks ago we landscaped our front yard, we pulled out the jungle that was there and just left a few favourites, at the moment the new plants are small so it doesn't look like much.

They will brighten any home, both have Needle sculpted faces, wired fingers to hold toys and gifts, wired legs and they can be mounted on a stand.

This is my new pattern and E-pattern, it will be available in the next week or so..... 

Most of the new plants are roses, if you haven't guessed yet I love roses, a few are blooming already but when they grow a bit I will share more pics with you, are there any rose lovers out there?
Here is a plant we've had in the garden for about 10 years, it's an Australian native and is very drought resistant, I don't know it's name though, I was going to pull it out but it has put on such a show I couldn't do it..............last year it flowered for the 1st time, 1 long flower, this year it has 5!
