Miss Aine

Finally! The new pattern is finally typed up, double-checked, and up for sale.  Phew! buy now Meet Sandrine For sale through the Ravelry link above for 3euro.  Also for sale through my Etsy shop, but not as an instant download as the file is too large due to the photos.

DH took the kids out this afternoon to give me a break, so I got some typing of patterns done. For sale now is 'The Sleepy Princess', just 3 euro of the pattern.  The finished doll is 14" tall, and she's lovely and soft.  Perfect for taking to bed. buy now through Ravelry.

Quite busy at the moment, and finding it hard to keep up-dating the blog and Facebook. It's hard going this business lark! I've been working on a new doll design with Emily. Basically I said I was making a doll, and she requested a lot of additions and requirements! I've also been talking to www.SiandLu.com about collaborating with them on some toys. And I got an order through Etsy last night for my custom Wedding Cake Toppers for a wedding in Brooklyn on 13th June. That means some fast knitting is needed and fingers crossed courier post can get it there on time!

Just finished knitting this request for a friend. Quite a cheeky chappie I think!

For sale here

DH has taken the kids out for an hour or two so time for some frantic sewing! I had the body of this doll made ages.  So I took her out.  Embroidered her face, did her hair and then started to dress her. I had no plan as to how I'd finish her, but I just love how she turned out.  She's a real little hippie chick!

I've been knitting a hoodie for Oliver for what seems like forever, so I needed a quick toy fix. A pair of Emily's old tights, some stuffing and some felt - you have yourself a monkey! This little guy will be for sale in my Etsy shop as soon as Etsy is back on line (it was down this morning for upgrading the system)

This little guy was made using a G&G pattern I bought on Etsy a few months ago.  The actual pattern was for a reindeer, but I fancied making a bear or something so I just gave it different ears and a tail. His face is a little weird - I machine-stitched it, but hadn't marked it out before hand so its a little crocked!

My little Office Monkey is featured in an Etsy treasury today that it made up of objects that are patterned and yellow. link Check it out!  There are some really nice quilts actually - makes me want to get out my cottons and start some patchwork.

I signed up last month for a little craft exchange within the Etsy Ireland team. I made a little knitted necklace, which I forgot to photograph - I'll blame being sick for that one! In return I got 3 lovely little bracelets and a beautiful postcard - all from Su at SuSimply . Check out her blog.  Her photos are fantastic, and it's really nice to see how someone else sees Dublin.

This time for my friend's baby, who was born just before New Year's. Welcome to the world Baby Matthew!

For a lovely lady in Canada. Hopefully she likes them, and I can pop them off in the post to her.

One of my lovely Etsy customer had her wedding featured on The Wedding Chicks website. (click on the pic above to get through to the article) And my little cake toppers made it into the article. Woo hoo! Looks like the kind of wedding I wished I could have created for my own wedding.

I got an email today from one of my Etsy customers. She had bought the Bride and Groom Wedding Toppers pattern . But instead of making the pair, she turned the bride into an angel and gave her gorgeous ribbon wings. I think I may have to make one of these myself.

Another pattern, in another Christmas'y themed treasury on Etsy . Although this time my christmas tree trims are beside Amy Gaines pattern for tree trims. Kinda puts my stuff to shame - I love her stuff!

Another of my designs is featured in a treasury on Etsy . An enchanted theme this time!
