T is for Teeyore

Well I've been busy making some new dotee dolls.  They are just so addictive and so fast to make so they are really good therapy when I'm a bit stressed.

 

This is a fairy dotee I've made for a swap-bot swap.

Below is a close up of the bead detail on her head (this is my favourite part of making these dolls)

I've also made a dotee for another swapbot swap.... 'a dotee for my daughter'.  My partners daughter gave me a complicated list of likes including:- monkeys; crazy patterns; chopsticks & the letter 'M'.  So This is what I came up with.  I hope she likes it.  It's going in the post to a place called Dry Ridge in the USA.

I hope she likes this little monkey dotee.

I started to make this dotee for my sister-in-law but have fallen in love with the colour combo so am keeping this for me and will make her a purple on as she loves that colour.

I started to then get a bit creative and experimented with my own shape of doll.  Below is an eggy-doll that I created.

 

I love the shape of this doll and had fun sewing the beads around the perimeter.

And big new this week is that my son, Brady started work at McDonalds.  he really enjoyed it and has been rostered on for a few shifts this week already.  He's really looking forward to having his own money although the rule is that he has to save half of his pay each week.

He hates having his photo taken so I was pretty lucky to get this shot of him in his uniform. (Now I'm starting to feel old).

Well that's all from me at the moment.
