Hubby-j worked yesterday afternoon to reset and lockdown the router (???)
Anyway...router has arrived home, refreshed and relaxed after its holiday bringing internet access with it...Yay!
So what have I been up to?
- I ironed and trimmed my scraps - for fun (and they look so lovely!)
- I kept all the trimmings because I thought they looked colourful and craft-worthy somehow. They are in the girls collage box.
- I made some linocuts of some drawings I had done.
(Inspired by a lion softie from the background of a kids bedroom photo. It was in a 1960 homemakers magazine that I couldn't afford last time I was thrifting - I have no idea what it was called but $30 is waaaay too much for a magazine - no matter how old or cool!) - and then (because I can't wait until I actually construct something properly!) I got carried away and had to translate the lino into junker fabric I had so I could see what it might look like as a softie.
sweet lino love.
(excuse the eyes...they are only held on with a couple of stitches!...Oh! and those arms - Are they looking too boob-like?... probably more of a worry that I think that is what boobs could look like!...
Anyway...they need to be shorter, or the body bigger, or something like that)
Glad to still be in NaBlo - see you tomorrow!

What a fantastic idea with the scraps. Maybe that will stop me putting off the dive into the scrap basket to look for something, which inevitably is always at the bottom. What a crack up with the boob thing.
Ohhhh those scraps look delightful! And the edges are pinked so neatly.
What if you gave the softie some scrap hair? I made a wig with yarn scraps that turned out fantastic!
Ooh, very cute linocuts! I love the softie too :)
i think hair for a doll would be a great thing to go with those scraps or sew them into a funky little tree and make a advent calender tree
