Pocket Angel

On the weekend I had a huge cleanout of my sewing room.  I discovered many things that have been on my 'to do list'. I found the clean up quite inspiring.... to say the least.

The creation I made yesterday is Pocket Angel.. pattern by Jill Maas. This little lady has been on my 'to do list' for quite sometime..and I decided to get her made up. I am a novice at this kind of doll making. She is the fourth doll of Jill's patterns that I have made. The first face I made was a disaster and I had to do another one.. Im not overly happy with this face, but it will do..

Now on to the next thing on the 'to do list'....

Dressmakers Dummy finished...

Hi ladies,well here is the finished Dressmakers Dummy doll. I am very very pleased with her.I have another on in the making that has a totally different face and hair. This little lady is made from 3 petite point stitched doilies...a favourite set of mine.I cut up a tissue box for the underskirt.She has a antique lace shawl and an antique lace brooch.On the base I have used an old antique wooden cotton reel of old cotton, I will add some old bobbins to the base too.For this little lady's hair I used upholstery fringing... it looks like wriglets.

I am doing our bedroom up Shabby Chic, and she will go in there perfectly.

I am in the process of opening up a website. I will have patterns available, handmade products of all sorts (made by me), I will also be selling my own designs...Paypal will be available to purchase. I am very excited about this little venture, this is something that I have always wanted to do.

Happy creating..... Lisa
