Creating during Corona

There were the „very nice mice“ of Ann Wood, fascinating

to make - and they are all gone and living somewhere else

Grandchildren took them as companions for summer

 

Those „keychains“ are practical and vey much used

Tanja Steinbach of SWR Kaffee oder Tee had this crochet lantern

in her little show - I - not lazy - of course had to create it

Dotee dolls - I love small things to make

My every too small hip bag was replaced by this one. Finally

large enough to carry the cell phone, the keys, the cap, a scarf 

This pair of mice are still waiting for their tails

Stitched eye - I used Milas photo as model

A tutorial with Emily Tull of the TextileArtist.org

and my eye

This was another workshop with Emily Jo Gibbs, 

week 5, appliqué. I took a branch of our Magnolia

it is stitched with a shadow






The branch of the Magnolia

Making small things

I am preparing to sew hearts and dotee dolls

smalll things - to have something to give away

I was looking in my scrap basket and found enough to make

about a hundred dotee dolls and up to two hundred hearts

Probably i will stop long before....

The mess is growing when I am searching for embellishments

beads rings sequins threads ribbons felt quilting-thread

Karoline came to life leaning on a big pin pillow 

Then there are red-haired Jabuka (the name means apple in Croatian,

chosen because of the apple fabric)

and the blue-eyed Specky (named for her spectacles)

The peonies from the garden 

they lasted about one week -

now at the slightest bump they drop their petals

Little things - scissor fob and dotee dolls

An ornament to hang on the tree or use as scissor fob

It is Mary Corbet's idea ................. the link to the site:

Below: This is the reverse side - it is firmly stuffed with ....

Its thickness

Well, this cost me at least three hours - but the result

is very nice I think.

two more

and the reverse sides -

and dotee dolls - I made them while being silent on my blog

looks like a medieval baby wrapped in cloths

the "hairdo"

I wish you a creative week!
