Looks like I am doing not much at all at the moment, but I have so many UFO's to take photos of in the next week, so will do so, then I'll have a bigger blog. I have made a few things for my advent swapo on the forum, but can't take photos and publish them until after Christmas. Forgot to take a photo of my table runner I have already swapped so I am making another!

Had a visit from Iris Joy from the forum today, who came with her husband. We had a lovely time chatting and comparing notes about our craft work. My goodness, can't the men talk? Mine anyway! lol.

So here is a photo of Iris Joy and myself. You can see why I am on a diet. I am the short one!

Peg Doll Swap

Here is the full photo of my peg doll that went to Quilt'n'Sandy. Happily she has now arrived at her new home.

She had a head transplant as her original head was too small to paint a face on, hopeless for make-up! So her original head was "lathed" down to a stump, and the new bead glued in place. We then drilled a fine hole through the shoulder area, and placed the pipe cleaner arms.

Her hair isn't really dread-locks, but chenille yarn, poked into the hole on the top of the wooden bead that became her new head, and glued with PVA. Her scarf is made from tatting cotton.

I called her Peggy Sue, until I finished her. I think she looks like a Maureen, rather Irish in that dark green.

I think she looks like she is about to go ice skating huh?

She is standing in front of a painting I did of the property at the corner of Bungower and Mooruduc Highway in Mornington, as is the family in the photo below.
