How it all begins ...


I've been a quite unindated with commissions and orders and I have quite a list to get through. I'm working my way through them and on my list is a couple of 'New Baby' keepsakes.
The 'New Baby Girl' keepsake was easy, a bigger version of my 'Fairy Godmothers', but the 'New Baby Boy' keepsake needed a bit more planning.

I always start off by doodling a design and then creating all the bits of templates. That done, I can then get on with the choosing of fabrics, cutting out, stitching and then stuffing.


The result was 'Dogsy' ... Cute eh ? Fahioned on my Archibald, I just had to use his ears in the design.

And his full waggy tail too ...

Sweet cheeks Fairy Godmother in all her dottiness ...

I reckon she'd be able to fly long haul with those babies ...

Those are both lovely - especially the doggie!
I bought 2 key holders (1 large, 1 small) at a Handmade sale & they make me smile on a daily basis
Wish I had your skill!

I'm so glad you decided to put the tail on the back.
