The Gruffalo meets a mouse!

Hi there Jelly Babies

I'm back with lots of adorable pictures of Bella in her mousey costume! 

- She is the most beautiful little mouse ever!! 

I used Butterick 3772 - you can get it here- I used age 3, pattern A.

The ears are a polyester and wool mix felt from Calico Laine and the centre's are made from jersey.

She is too cute!! 

The costume is a little difficult to explain - I found it in the wool mix, weighing section in Abakhan but it feels like a faux fur. But it is super soft and a lovely, light grey colour so who cares what it is! Again the belly is pink jersey and the shoulders are fastened with shiny, silver jersey press studs. 

This is off my Instagram - And my absolute fave! 

Selfie of me as a mouse for you ;) 

IT IS 77 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS FOAKS!!! 

XOXO

Better bite it on the ...

It's been over a month since New Year and I don't even want to remember how long it's been since my last post.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!

So before Christmas I was frantically making presents for my family and friends and then after Christmas my not-so-baby sister turned 18 and I was making her a new wardrobe it felt. (In reality it was two outfits and a memory board!)
I have also been to Berlin with my better half, it was my Christmas present from said better half. He's such a soppy bugger! It was lovely getting away but it was freezing and I thought I was going to lose my toes but I will post about that in the next couple of days, I have LOTS of piccies to show you, naturally! 😉

So I've been back at uni for a few weeks now and this essay is starting to make me grey I swear but I've made progress and I'm thankfully nearly finished and I have started making my final collection. I'm so excited!!! Can't wait to show you all!!! 

I hope you're all enjoying the new year and haven't given up on your New years resolutions just yet! I didn't even make any so I guess I'm a bit of a sell out in that department!

Here's a few images of what I've been doing while I was gone! Just to prove I didn't run away on purpose. I promise!

Blog soon!

Playing dress up...

A couple of weeks ago I modelled for my friend Jenny! She had a shirt project at uni and disassembled lots of charity shop shirts and then reassembled them to create a new (and much more exciting) shirt! I was honoured to have been asked to model until she made me walk through a park dressed like a huge rag doll...

Here's the pictures Jenny chose and edited for her project!

I have asked if I can have the shire once she's done with it so I will keep you posted as I am absolutely in love with it! 

I think I scared more than one elderly lady that day but I love dressing up and having mad hair and make-up so it was well worth it! 

Blog soon!
