some softie sewing

in my (very few) spare time lately i have been cranking out a few softies. i really like these quirky little critters made from vintage fabric and sheets.

im thinking of listing a few in my (abandoned) etsy shop. what do you think? maybe a good christmas present...

some op shop goodies

it was a good (and colourful) week!

p.s - i now have enough wooden toys to sink a battleship so i'll be taking some to sell at the next rummage (which will be in february for me - i cant make it to the december one. boo.)

scenes from the weekend...
