I've deliberately been avoiding the computer to try and get some work done, after an unexpected week off for family birthdays, and meeting my new great-niece ( did I mention I'm a Great Aunty ? No! only a million times,heh heh.)
Here is the birth sampler I designed for Emily 'A year with Bertie and Floss'* You see why I have a great preoccupation with bunnies at the moment - and why Bertie Bun appeared! I am pleased to say it went down well with mummy and daddy and was immediately put up in Millie's room - I hope she likes it when she's big enough to notice.
I did have fun with this!
Embroidery and Dolls this post!
Here are some pictures from my hard working students at the Bristol Adult Education Service. They were fabulous - they created some wonderful first dolls - and even did homework between our sessions!
Heads down!
Here are 'the girls', almost complete, modelling against the backdrop of Frances' lovely old Singer.
I know at least two more dolls are already being planned, so I'm really thrilled - well done ladies, you were brilliant and I had a ball.
I'm sure Emily will love it!
ReplyDeleteThe doll workshop looks to have been a great success - well done to all concerned!
Gosh Jules your workshop looks wonderful.I shall find out tomorrow (next Class) if my ladies have done some homework. The dolls look brilliant.Especially the yoga one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun workshop! Everyone came up with a special doll.
ReplyDeleteLove the embroidery. You seem to make time for family and that is so important. I know you are appreciated for it.
Wow you are doing great job of teaching these dolls Jules. All of them are lovely.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to hear you are a great aunt, congratulations Jules! ;-)
ReplyDeleteBertie and Floss is a wonderful sampler and I especially like Bertie lying in the sun in his red trunks and shades... The stitches are perfect!
The dolls are quite special too. I wish I could go to your sewing classes, it looks like a very calm environment with a lovely work space.
Great to stop by and see your new work.
Spring blessings to you,
Love,
Jo. xx
The sampler is sweet.=) We call our toy bear Bertie and the lamb Flossy....!=)

Your niece will love the embroidery! There are so many sweet small details and it is so beautifully stitched.
