a little colouring and card making

 good morning crafters.

back today sharing a card from a recent colouring fest i had whilst on holiday in Cornwall.

and today i am sharing a completed birthday card using one of lili of the valley's stamps

Bobby Socks

sadly LOTV have stopped making rubber stamps and have moved over to digi.

thankfully (for me) i have a huge selection of LOTV stamps to keep me amused.

below is a small selection of coloured images that will hopefully be added to greeting cards in the near future. they have all been coloured with distress ink,

Waldorf inspired doll: a sweet flower girl - Penny

 

good afternoon crafters, i hope that each and every one of you are well.

popping in after a short break with a new waldorf inspired doll

i'd like you all to meet Penny

Penny has loving been made using a variety of yarns from my favorite online stores.

The begining of her journey: her body with an unusual hat which has not been used (save for another doll)

as my dolls evolve and i become more and more confidant in the make up of them i still find myself trawlling the internet for different types of yarn for the body's especially skin tone.

and whilst watching C&C the other week i stumbbled upon toft who create lovely amigurimi toys.

they have a fine yarn (like a 4ply) and i have taken a punt and bought a 50gm ball of oatmeal and i am pleased as punch as the tone of the yarn matches the tone of the dolls fabric face.

here is a little photo shoot of Penny the flower girl

isn't she adorable

as always i need to give a shout out to those that inspire me:

North coast dolls
mary jane tearoom dolls

lalia dolls
dear little doll
to name a few.

supplies come from a variety of sources:
little oke dolls
the knitters attic

eden cottage yarns

                                                               here's a list of goodies used:

face fabric: de-witte - doll jersey - little oke dolls

knitted body: 

arms: toft - fine yarn- oatmeal

tights & body: west yorkshire spinners - 4ply

boots & shawl: eden cottage - 4ply black tulip

dress: Zauberball shopple wolle

hair: brushable mohair

features: DMC embriodary floss and bees wax crayon.

paper flowers and satin ribbon.

thanks for stopping by,

enjoy your weekend and craft happy, Ann
