NEW Doorstop dumpies get together for a meet and greet!                                   CAREN’S CANVAS AND CRAFT -MY ETSY SHOP

I’ve been wondering (again recently) why my family nickname me ”Crazy woman”,  though, as I was taking this photograph of my new group of doorstop dumpies, I suppose I can probably see why!?!  What more could I want than a cute collection of characters to chat to? As each one was finished I explained to it who the next one was going to be. Needless to say, they were so in awe, they were speechless! I could almost see the excited anticipation in their little button eyes! Only after I finished the cute little miss piggy dumpy today (AND Tidied up!) did I let them all get together to meet each other. Their eagerness at seeing the others for the first time was evident, as they flung their arms open in warm greetings. (I’ve left them talking amongst themselves on the sofa whilst I put up this post :-)! ) I don’t suppose they will share the gossip with me though, they are too good at keeping secrets!!!

Now I have a clear table again… I feel it pulling me toward it ….for more……………………………………………………………………………

…..Creative crafting 🙂

”Doorstop Dumpy”

After coming across some super soft flannel cottons in my local fabric shop I couldn’t resist buying just a little. In fact just about enough to make one of my handmade”Doorstop Dumpies” fortunately I had bought a little of the coordinating red flannel too which was perfect for highlighting the ‘ears’ and ‘feet’ . I set about cutting the pieces from the pattern I had designed and created for this particular ”Doorstop Dumpy” character.  As ever when working with pattern material and all the twists and turns of the character shape pattern pieces I try my best to get everything lined up as near as possible and I think this little chap has turned out just fine. For a little quirkiness I made him a flat cap topped off with an old button and found just the right colour of satin ribbon to give him a little bow tie too. Finished off with some recycled buttons for eyes, he is weighted and ready to go to my upcoming craft fair as another unique hand-crafted creation

Super soft and stylish he’s ready to hold back any door – while sitting smartly on the floor!
