Meet Eloise

The body for this doll sat in one of my WIP bags for months. I started off well, really into it, but ran out of ideas when I had just made her body. So she waited, with no face, no hair and no clothes.
Over the last week I've taken her out again. Its good to have a project on the go that I can pick up and put down easily so that I can work on it while Smem plays.
And I started to get excited with her again.
So, this is Eloise -


I'm thinking she needs a little dog on a lead for her. It would be the perfect accessory.

And thanks to Ariel for her advice on the blogs. My blog list on the side of my blog actually puts the ones that have been updated at the top automatically so I can keep up with which ones have been updated. I just don't have the time anymore to read them all :-(

How cute is she? Adorable!

Oh and isn't Ariel handy like that? I know that's why I keep her around. LOL!

I didn't see this until Susie (mama2kbr) told me. Glad I could help. I've been using it for a long time, it's so much easier than the way I used to read them.

May Giveaway Day

*** This giveaway is now closed *** I read only last weekend about the May Giveaway Day on the SewMamaSew blog. Its such a cool idea so I decided to take part. Up for grabs are these two little cats. I made them as favours for Smem's birthday but made too many. Two winners will be chosen at random on June 1st and I am willing to ship internationally as they're only small and are very light. Comment away! (but please make sure that I can get your email from your blogger profile so that I can contact you if you win) Good Luck!

100th Post - Piggywig (free pattern)

Image
I was going to post about how I connected with my domestic goddess and baked muffins this morning but as it is my 100th post I thought I would share a pattern with my readers. This is Piggywig. I only started him this afternoon so he is a super quick knit if you needed a present in a hurry. He's about 12cm tall. You'll need straight 2.75mm needles, a darning needle, some polyester stuffing and oddments of yarn in pink, blue, green, cream and black. Gauge is not too important - I knit at about 9sts:10rows:1 inch - just make sure that your knitting is nice and tight so the stuffing doesn't show through. Body Using pink, cast on 30 sts. Mark the centre of the cast on sts. P 1 row. Next row: Inc K-wise into every st - 60 sts. Beginning with a P row, st-st 7 rows. Next row: (K2, K2tog) to end - 45 sts. P 1 row. Break off pink and join on blue. Beginning with a K row, st-st 10 rows. Mark the centre of the last blue row. Break off blue and join on green and cream. Work 10 rows
