Bunny mania - and some interesting characters.

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!

 Louise is a yoga teacher -  here's her doll demonstrating flexibility!


 Here are 'the girls', almost complete, modelling against the backdrop of Frances' lovely old Singer.

 Kate's doll - 'Our Mo' - glamour puss.
 Frances' Sweet Susie on her sewing machine.
And our yoga doll and Celia's sweet Victorian schoolgirl!


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.

  5. So lovely to hear you are a great aunt, congratulations Jules! ;-)
    Bertie 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
