Fairy angel.........

I decided to make a softy for a little niece......first she was going to
have a bear and then it was going to be a cow but when she came to visit the
other day she saw Fairy Girls "fairy angel" and that is what she wanted......
Then I had to make a pattern up.........very interesting..........and when I
went to bed on Friday night I was cursing it but when I finished it up
yesterday morning things went well and I was very excited to have been able
to work out a pattern and make it up myself.........with a few modifications
along the way this is what I ended up with.......now the other niece wants
one.......with a few changes to make it easier for me......I will be brave
enough to make another one......bit fiddly but she was worth it in the
end....... does anyone have a quick easy way to turn the arms and legs out..........that was the worst bit for me...........

I have one very happy niece......

.........take care til next time.............

A dinosaur adventure..........

Secrets and Shopping..............

No no the shopping isn't the secret............I am just slack and hadn't gotten around to showing you what i got while away............what else to buy on a road trip but Leanne's "Romancing the Road Trip"

Just happened upon a quilt shop open on a Sunday afternoon..............jammed on the brakes, pulled over and reversed back up the road...........well worth the stop........I don't have much in creams so got a few......

Now shhhhhhhhhhh don't tell Fairy Girl but she has a birthday coming up this week and since she has slept with Mr Red Rabbit since last week I thought maybe I should make her a special friend.........gosh i don't know how you girls make softies all the time..........so dam fiddly and I had to sew the crutch together again once finished..........so don't look to closely..............but I am sure Fairy Girl will love it............

Take care till next time...............
