In artsy ways I am preparing for the churchlands art and craft extravaganza. Stocking up on all my crocheted, knitted and sewn products! It's exciting to see how much I have accomplished.
I've been working on these dolls for awhile but the first prototype had neck problems, too floppy. This photo is the second try and I painted the face only today, I like the simple, minimalist design. I was reducing the compactness of the stuffing in the head when it turned out like this! Looks a bit Einstein-y, minus the funky eyebrows.
The baby maple tree in our front garden has begun to sprout its leaves again! Gorgeous and such a beautiful introduction to our late spring.
This is the 'Patchwork Horse' from the "big book of softies" a cute anthology of various toy artists. The pattern calls for a mane similar to the tail but I ran out of my scraps of that particular fabric and decided to leave it as it was. I think it turned out well.
These are the ex-ducklings at our pond. They are in that awkward phase of duck adolescence where half of their bodies are covered in fluff and the other in feathers!
How has your week been? Out there in blog land. Have the Christmas jitters kicked in yet?
