Queenie & Rose




Available at 'MINE - Kids in Olinda'. Finished in the nick of time. I might go take some better pics... I left the one true to do it but didn't say what I wanted and he's no girl, so doesn't know how to put her proper like. He's good at arty stuff, but not doll stuff. For example, I embroidered their names on the soles and it looks nice. And the other eyes are blue. And her tail is lovely and fluffy. He did his best and I still like him.
Pattern available here.

Queenie & Rose Bunny are each other’s very best friends. They share all of their ideas and play lots of sport too. You might think they’re just the same but Queenie and Rose are two very different little girls. Rose loves to listen to music, but Queenie prefers to read. Queenie’s favourite colour is blue wheras Rose likes pink by far the best.
The girls are ‘dicephalyus’ twins which is very, very unusual. They think they’re lucky… Queenie and Rose always have someone to talk to!
Made using vintage, pure-silk kimono fabrics, discarded rabbit fur from my Mum's old (ex) lapin coat.

Queenie & Rose


For Carolyn's new shop in Olinda (opening on Thursday), which I will report more about when I know more. It's a groovy, crafty, kiddies shop. I love making these dolls! I'd forgotten!

My Old Pin Cushion, Just Washed


I bought this for not much money at a local shop a few years ago. There was "I Love You" and "You Are Special". The girl in the shop was always grumpy, surly, unwelcoming and reluctant to help and when I asked her who made the pin cushion, the reply that she had surprised me. That is until I got home... and I stuck all of my pins into the words. Very funny! Beautiful!
10 points.

I Bought This Today!!



It makes a beautiful, pretty, twinkly sound when you move it and if you bump it, it bowls over and then rights itself. Such a darling!

Apron In Situ


School holidays. I took a day off today to have the babies up... I'm so tired! You should hear this little one's rendition of (the word) crocodile! It's too funny. Digga-digga-digga-digga-digga-digga-digga-digga-digga-digga-dar.
