Sock Puppy

Last year I bought this great book about making stuffed animals from socks and gloves. And finally I got a and old pair of socks that were still in good enough condition to try and make one.

And so "Sock Puppy" was born.


He's a little sad looking and I still have make some little clothes for him but my son has welcomed him into his ever growing puppy collection and he has is come in as "2nd top dog". A pride of place that will last until the next one.

Crazy Hat Lady

I had this idea to do kids hats for awhile. I made one for my son and loved how unique it was and how I could spot him in a crowd of kids and not lose him in the park.

Then I discovered the joys of op shopping and found some really great old pillow cases and thought - they would make great kids hats.

Unfortunately with the move to Sydney I had begun to run out of time fast and as so my mother the amazing seamstress that she is stepped in and made my designs for me and some of her own. And they are really fantastic. They will be available in 3 sizes - small (1 - 2yrs), medium (2 - 4yrs) and large (5 - 6yrs)

They will be featured at the BiDm this Saturday at St. Augustine's Church - Racecourse Rd, Ascot.

Here's a sneak peak:



Any not sold will be up on Etsy next week.

See you Saturday.
