Purple pig Doorstop Dumpy!

After my last Doorstop Dumpy post, with all my new characters sitting on the sofa, I decided there was just too much space and there should be a couple more added to the group (Plus all their chatting was eventually revealed to me – by the not so secretive tartan frog! – they had seen the rest of my new material pile and had taken votes of what each piece should be made into!!!) So here is Purple pig, smartly decorated with satin ribbons and coordinating colourful buttons, the newest member for the unique group finished today! 🙂

Dormouse – ”DOORSTOP DUMPY” Another of my creations!

Ready just in time to hold open any door, especially when the warm weather arrives! (I know the sun will come out one day and make England warm again…it will… eventually…)

This super cute dormouse, handmade from a lovely floral print cotton mix fabric and wearing a little pocketed apron (perfect for storing the door key!)and matching mop-cap, is ready to meet and great visitors at the foot of your door, a definite talking point for all when they first see it. With a ribbon border and a few buttons to decorate at the base and for eyes and nose, a finishing touch of a little raffia for whiskers, completes the dormouse. Another artistic moment of creative crafting!

Created from my own pattern design, I have a range of different character ‘Doorstop Dumpies’ that I have handmade with love and quality workmanship, they will, when filled with a weighting element do their job perfectly. For reasons of, cost of shipping, and customs restrictions on sand/soils/grit etc. I have made them with a zipped base and inserted a zipped bag so their new owners can easily fill, re-insert weighted bag and zip up, as easy as that and you have a fully functioning ”Doorstop Dumpy”! Ready to go anywhere in the world.

‘Doorstop Dumpy’ – Graduation Owl Doorstop

Here is another of my ‘Doorstop Dumpies’ which I created and designed the patterns for myself. This is in fact the first owl I made from my pattern. It was made for my Daughter after she graduated from Oxford University with her Master’s Degree. That is where the wise old owl and the sub fusk idea came from and I used this as inspiration in the design of my ‘Doorstop Dumpy’. As you will see in other posts in this section, I have made other owls from my pattern but no two are exactly the same, making them all unique!
