Too busy crafting for blogging!

Four necklaces, three pair of earrings (See my "How to" to make feather earrings), one doll and a thousand of pictures later, this blog is a ghost town! I was planning to do some “How to” for some of my projects but I just got overwhelmed... Never less, it’s never too late to start so let’s star today!

The first one is easy: the doll I made yesterday.

It’s super easy because it’s not my idea and I was following the instructions and pattern from “The black apple” available here. If you decide to do this project, make sure to watch the video because I tough the instructions alone were not so clear at one point.



This project was really fun to do. Even though I did not have a printer to magnify the pattern at 150% as it was suggest, I was able to do it anyway. The doll is just smaller and I had to hand sewed the arms and legs in place before I was able to use my machine to sew everything together. I use felt for the face and arms. I also made embroidery for the features of the face because paint on felt does not work so well.

Baswell! (French version of bummer – I guess!)

I’m in pain. I've hurt my back a week ago. I was barely able to move myself. Luckily, my mother in law came over to help me with the kids while I was lying in bed with ice to help reduce the swelling :(

I’ve spent so much time in bed that I had plenty of time to work on my felt pin for the store. I even made a new version of Victor the cat. I really like this new version witch have a more sneaky attitude than the old one !

Lazy Blogger!

Ok, it was almost a New Year resolution that I made to myself to post on this blog at least every two days. I think the bar was set a little high for the busy bee I tend to be! I’ve spent the last week away in Rimouski (~ 6 hours from my home!) playing outside, buying a new bike and spending time with my family.

Now that I’m back home, my partner is gone in vacation in Brazil (LUCKY HER!!!!!!) and just before she left she sold half of our inventory to some of her friend from Toronto! WOW! Now I have to get back to my needle and felt ;-) But I also had to work on the B-day Flyer for my oldest daughter. I’m quite please the way it turned out!

Enough bla bla for today, its sooooooooooo nice outside, I’m going to sew un my garden! Ciao!
