As always this week I am working on Cowies.  These are some of the last ones you are likely to see because after this batch is complete I won’t be making any more for a while.  The vintage red and black scarf and foam balls are going to become a new necklace.

In the boys’ creative space today is playdoh.  I suspect there is also some in H’s stomach as well judging by the green around his mouth.  Oh well…

Happy Thursday Creative spacers…

Thanks also to Kirsty as always for hosting.

This week I’m working on Christmas stockings (good grief) and Robots.

This weekend my creative space is going to go through a major overhaul.  At the moment it is so untidy and nothing is laid out well.  I can’t find anything!  So I think I need to rearrange things.  I hope to post some pictures of a reinvigorated space next week.  I think I’ll also be doing some destashing and I’ll be having a giveaway next week, so stay tuned.

Thanks to Kirsty for hosting the creative space party.

This week in the snippets of spare time I’ve had, I have been trying to tidy and reorganise my sewing area.

We live in a place with two bedrooms only, and as such most of my sewing stuff lives in the corner of the bedroom in this chest of drawers.  The chest of drawers is covered in a hexagon quilt which I began in 2000  to cover a king size bed.  As you can see I settled for cot size in the end as I moved on to other crafting projects.

The reorganisation is a bit of a work in progress so hopefully I’ll have more pictures to post later on.

Also in my now very tidy creative space is a piece of angora/ acrylic blend fabric I bought for two dollars at my local op shop, it is the most gorgeous shade of rhubarb pink.  It might end up as softies, which will be a new adventure as I’ve never sewed with a knit fabric before.   And to top it all off my new Moo cards, featuring the banner that Kellie made for me a few weeks ago.

In my creative space today (actually on Thursday):

- Cowies requiring stuffing in the box along with a prototype for a new design.

- Frida the hippo who shortly after the photo was taken became this

She’s not in the shop yet, as I need to take some better photos (which in this weather could be days away) but do let me know if your interested, I think she looks awesome.

In my creative space today…

a new design

from sketch to prototype “Cowie”

to production (plural)

Special thanks to Kirsty at Kootoyoo for hosting.  Its such a pleasure to see what everyone is working on.

PS. Stay tuned as there will be a major shop update over the next couple of days.

Today I am working on a new product.  

I have a few in various states of completion

I think they look vaguely mousy, but Cadel is insistent it’s a monkey, and so I am trying to think of a name that highlights their ambiguity.  Any ideas?

Hopefully when the weather is better I’ll be able to get some better photos. This rain is driving me mad.  It makes it so hard for me to keep my boys occupied.

P.S Check back later today for the launch of my giveaway!

Today I’m in planning mode.  I have some sketches f0r a new softie I’m working on.

Some fabric for some cushions for the boys room

And yet another owl that I was stuffing last night at The Craft Room.

I should have put a picture of the computer in as well because I’ve been in front of it most of the morning putting robots on etsy.

By the way I’m loving picnik collages at the moment thanks to Lucy’s great tutorial.

Thanks to Kirsty for hosting and everyone else joining in.

Today I am working at the table outside.

Monkey no. 2 is sick now and I am not feeling great so we’re trying to get some fresh air.

I’m pairing fabrics and preparing to cut pieces out for softies.

I’m thrilled that Charlie has found a good home.
