Doll For A Friend

Sewed a doll for a friend I have not seen for quite some time.  Hope she likes this...



 

 

I've been absent from this blog for the longest time.  What about you?  How have you been?

Happy New Year!


Blog post #1 on 1-1-11.

A good start, isn't it? :D


This doll was made last year, in December (only a couple of weeks back). I believe she is sitting on my friend, Carol's office desk right now...

Have Been Busy...

...Reading...


I noticed that whatever I do depends very much on my mood. On days when the bookworm pays me a visit, I could read book after book for days & weeks. But sometimes when I'm not in the mood for reading, I will leave my books & not touch them for months. Same goes for crafting. Are you like that too?


...Searching...

Recently I've lost both my dentist & hairdresser. No no, not lost forever as I believe they are very much alive (thank heavens) but that they have both left their respective practices. My favourite dentist has decided to be a stay-at-home mum while the hairdresser, well I don't know what happened to her as her colleagues & boss at the salon did not say much except that she'll not be back anytime soon in the near future :(.


Now, I have to go scout around for a new dentist & hairdresser which is absolutely distressing for me! While I understand that change is a constant thing, the problem is, I am a person of habits. After I got comfortable with say, patronising a certain store or following a certain routine which I think works for me, I am quite reluctant to change. Moreover, it takes time (& possibly luck) to find another whose skills & presence I can trust & enjoy. Are you like that too?

To all those who provide services to the public, you have absolutely no idea how important you are to this habitual creature...


Meanwhile, though distressed, I'm still in the mood for reading...

A Little Girl - Nicole

Meet Nicole.


This poor girl's suffering from a bad hair year and had to hold down her unruly mob of hair with a red hair band.


But I'm trying my best to rectify the situation for her...


...Shall I cut it into a bob? Perhaps layer it? Or maybe rebonding will do the trick?...

Fabric Doll - Mandy

This is my first fabric doll. I named her Mandy, which means "Lovable". Hope it's befitting!?


Mandy's sewn from the patchwork fabric scraps I bought from Daiso recently.


Here's Mandy sitting on the tiny sofa I made sometime back:




Sewing this fabric doll can be quite enjoyable & addictive! Can't wait to make some more friends for Mandy...
