Back up and running

After almost a year without a viable pc set-up I'm hopefully back up and running, with every good intention of posting regularly.

Going to start off with stuff we've been doing in school today. Being as it's book week and Y2 have been looking at Katie Morag stories it seemed obvious to create life-size figures. We did the obligatory scrunched tissue for her woolly jumper, whilst the kilt was fashioned by weaving paper strips onto small cut card 'looms'. Eyes still to be added using buttons (just visible), hair to be completed and the whole to be finished off by placing copies of Katie Morag stories in hands.

We created two pieces because there are two classes! The one with outstretched arms will have them bent into position in fornt of her as if reading said book.

Prima Ballerina

Miss Peggy D'Ancer deigned to put in an appearance today. She posed for a few photographs but insisted I sack the photographer after he failed to capture her in all her glory.

She has agreed to stay a while in my etsy shop, so should you wish to meet her please feel free to pop along.

'Jake' makes etsy

Jake was listed today in my etsy shop;
www.scribblzndoodlz.etsy.com
A snip at only $10 (+ p&p). Ideal as a gift for the man/boy in your life.
Take a look. He's hopefully the first of many - I'm open to custom makes too at no extra cost, just drop me a line.

Jake's debut

Long time no blog - new job, house move have taken up my time. But, found a few moments to craft another peg 'doll'. I've christened him Jake (Jake the peg - geddit!) and am thinking of producing him in a variety of guises. When I can get around to it I'll put him in my etsy shop and see if anyone wants to give him a good home. As you can see from the pics, he can can stand without any artificial props, he can even do sit-ups and push-ups as befits a sportsman.
