The current tutorial is an "Easy Reversible Drawstring Bag" . This handy bag can be made in any size you choose, whether you need something to put your sunglasses in (like I did), or something larger to tote your beach gear around.
The Newsboy Cap (sometimes referred to as a Baker Boy cap) has been a popular item. Lookout for a new softie pattern coming soon.
In the meantime you can also checkout the Owl Pincushion (or soft toy).
Sometimes all I want to do when I get home on Thursdays (my last work day for the week) is play with ArtRage and my graphics tablet... sadly this is usually about as far as I get and then I never finish what I'm doing. Still, I love even doing this much. I can paint, draw, glue glitter, airbrush, erase, have multiple layers etc and so forth, and not get a single drip of glue or paint on me. Fabulous.
I didn't think I'd have anything ready this year for the Softies for Mirabel cause run by the lovely Meet Me at Mikes, so I bought these guys. I'm going to give them to my boys for Christmas (if you're reading this C & F, I'm not talking about you, *cough* ok...!) I did actually end up making something though...
and something else....
I hope a little (or big) someone likes them. That stripey one is made from a felted Country Road jumper and super soft (can't think of a better use for a CR jumper really... not being a Country Road kind of girl myself).
I've also been making lots of Bead Dolls, they're getting so super cute (even if I do say so myself) and I'll let those of you that have expressed an interest in them know as soon as I have some available for sale.
Lastly... if you've had problems commenting I'm sorry, but I just can't find anything wrong... I've tested it in different browsers on different computers and the only thing that might be up is that it takes a little while to actually post... I think that's because my comment spamguard is taking a bit of time to figure out if you're legit or not. So please try... and let me know if it's still not working by sending me a frustrated email.
I'm going to rebuild my computer so if you're expecting to hear from me and don't it's because something has gone horribly wrong. Bye for now, not forever!
