Robert - and Ava's rogue artwork

I finally dug Robert out from under a pile of other WiP's the other day - sewed him up - and last night stuffed and sewed him shut.

He was left on the dining room table, to remind me to find time today to photograph him so that I could list him in the shop....

..well, I was allowed a little lie-in this morning.  Which meant that Ava dug out her crayons and apparently with much excitement coloured Robot in.  Well, started to.  Until Flower Daddy realised what was going on and stopped her.

Robert has the makings of a pink heart on his chest.

...and rainbow stripes on his back...

Oh well, tonight I will stuff and sew another.  This one I will be leaving somewhere out of little fingers reach!  Tomorrow, hopefully, I will photograph him and list him in the shop.

When Chloe next sleeps I will pull out our nice fabric crayons and let Ava have a proper go at turning Robert into her own personal and very cuddly work of art.

Never a dull moment in this little house!

Please Say Hello to Snappy, Stanley and Molly

Here we have Snappy the cheeky crocodile.  He thinks he is a bit of a clown with his sneaky water squirting flower!

Stanley the pocket rocket sausage dog with enough attitude for two great danes.

And last, but definitely not least, Molly our lovable geeky artist.

Alrighty then...they are finally in my shops...and they are all looking for new friends to love them and cuddle them and breathe new life into them!  You can find them in any of your preferred places :: my shop ¦ Etsy ¦ Folksy

As always, I love to receive photo's of these dolls all coloured in by your little artist...so, please do send them to me.

I really do need to create a Flickr group for these....!!

Sneak Peaks

Coming soon....

The hippo's are all ready to be sewn and stuffed.

The tea towel print needs some minor adjustments (and I need hubby to make me a longer screen) and then they are ready to go!  The picture is printed along the bottom of the towel and there will be some fun text across the top of the tea towel.  I am SUPER excited about these.  The picture is hand drawn, which gives it a lovely fluid and relaxed feel.

Colouring in Doll: Emma - examples

I have been meaning to post the original coloured in Emma doll for some time now, just not quite getting around to it.  But, here she is!

She was hand drawn, the dolls are now almost all screen printed, and bigger than the original.

This coloured doll example has been added to the shop.  I coloured Emma in with fabric crayons.

You could, of course, colour her however you see her - maybe she is wearing a spotty or flowery dress, or stripy tights?  Send me your take on her and I will post it here.
