Dressing the baby

Finally, here is the knitted baby with hair and clothes on! To be sure, my crafting still has a ways to go before matching Beth's craft, but my daughter loves this little one anyway. We are going to call her 'Emmy' after my niece.

Pretty paper flowers

Check out these pretty paper flowers by Lish Dorset. I can just see them hanging around the verandah in between some fairy lights for that late summer night bbq. You can find the tutorial on how to make them here. (Keep scrolling down through the blog until you find the instructions.)

My daughter helped me make a whole bunch of these as centre pieces for a mexican banquet, in red, yellow, orange and blue. They looked fantastic. All you need is patience!

Busy week, baby still not dressed!

Ok, so the hair will have to wait for my knitted baby, and the dress is not quite finished... but work and kids have kept me running this week. Hopefully you have all managed to squeeze in some therapeutic crafting time. As I have not managed to get my doll up and dressed, I thought I'd share the pic of the doll 'Jennifer', by Beth, that I'm modelling her after. Get more info on her by clicking here.

Scrapbooking and Paper Craft Expo

Yippee! It's that time of year again for us Melbournians. From March 1-3 there will be loads of inspiration and tutorials to see and experience. I highly recommend this as a fun day (or weekend) out for anyone who has the time. Check out the site http://craftevents.com.au for more information and dates for your particular state.  There is also a Copic competition, all you have to do is create a card, layout or off the page project using your favourite Copic Colours. See www.copicmarker.com.au/queenofcopic, for further details, terms and conditions.

Oh where, oh where have the Holidays gone?

So these holidays are gone... already!! The kids are flying around the house getting ready and I can't believe that the many wonderful hours of crafting that I was planning on doing over the holidays is finished. Oh, well, life is not complete unless your creating something, so I will find time.
I will. Truely.
And I will post the many photos I have yet to take. Soon...
