Custom design doll

Well I'm still very busy, but I have managed to fit in some sewing.  This doll is a custom designed doll made using an image/logo on a business card.  So it was an interesting process of taking this business card and coming up with the design and pattern to make the doll.  I enjoyed the challenge and I do love the whole design process and coming up with a unique softie in the end.  It feels good to design and create something again as it has been awhile since I've had the time to do this.  The feedback I got from the lady that received her was really good - so that makes me happy, and makes it all worthwhile.  So here she is.

Have a lovely day and Happy Sewing!

Wow - where has the last month gone!

Busy, busy, busy!  Yes - that's me right now and it has been that way for the last month or so.  I have had heaps on - doing a Safe Food Handling course, organising the Catering at our local Field Days, doing my TAFE course in Children's Services, feeding poddy calves, looking after my parents dogs, starting my sewing class with the Grade 6's at school, Auskick with my son, mother's day stalls at school.....and the list could go on and on!  I haven't been able to get alot of sewing done amongst all of that - but I can show you another Magoo Monkey I made, that's for a newborn baby girl. 
Hoping things will slow down soon - but I don't think they will!  But that's ok - I don't mind too much, I do actually enjoy being busy - I probably wouldn't know what to do with myself if I wasn't!
Have a lovely day and Happy Sewing!
