Creative Week 31

Mainly a bit of sewing on the creative front this week, although not a lot.

A dress for Wren.  I wanted to make her a Christmas themed dress...so not really sure why I chose this fabric, seems, I now need to make her an ACTUAL Christmas dress, or so I have been informed anyway!

I've had this cloth kit Daisy Kingdom fabric for some time now so thought I would finally make up the dress.

It seemed to big for the American Girl dolls and my Daisy Kingdom doll is currently packed away so I tried it on Linda.  I'm glad it turned out too big for the American Girl dolls, as it looks great on Linda and fits her well.

I had another cloth kit fabric so I made that up as well. 

It fits Sienna Saige beautifully.

I've still got to sew up the little Scottie dog and the bag which I will probably do this coming week.

I've done some knitting and sewing for a Hitty Group challenge, but can't show those yet.

I made this bear last week, but couldn't show him until this week once I had given him to my friend for Christmas.  Yes we gave  (and opened) our presents early!.  

I was thrilled to watch the expression on her face when she opened him.  Reactions like that make the creative process of making a gift all the more worth while.

She has named him Leonard. 

I am hoping to make some Christmas gifts this week....that is the goal anyway...whether or not I achieve them is another matter!

Blue Monday on Tuesday!

Not arriving in time for a 'Blue Monday' post, Peggy Sue still wanted to wear her new blue coat and blue boots.

Stevie comes up to her.  What are you doing?  She asks.

I'm tying up my new boots.  It isn't easy you know.  Peggy Sue tells her.

It is quite a stretch to reach my feet!  

Aren't they pretty? She asks Stevie.  They have little flowers on the side.

I guess so Stevie replies, but I prefer purple!

I don't really mind what colour.  I just like coats and boots!  But especially coats.  Peggy Sue tells her.

Coats are good, they keep you warm when you go outside.

Stevie tells Peggy Sue that she has no intention going outside during the winter!  It is far too cold!

But that is why you need coats!  Peggy Sue informs her.

Peggy Sue sets off for a walk.

She spots a bird on the bird feeder.

Don't worry, I won't get my new boots muddy.  She informs me.

I'm going to stick to the path today.

A little later on she is back inside in the warm playing in her bedroom with Stevie.

The girls are playing with some dolls.

What is your doll called?  Peggy Sue asks.

I don't know yet.  Stevie says as she thinks of a name.

I like this one though as she has a purple pinafore on.

So she does!  Peggy Sue says as she smiles and thinks to herself...that the little doll also has a blue jumper on!
