Is it just me??? Or, does it look like someone just asked them…”WHO DONE IT?!” I can almost imagine them whistling as they look around and everywhere, except straight at you!

Okay, it looks like I have that same issue still in 2016! Stopping at just one – ISN’T POSSIBLE ;-/ But, I do think they are really cute! Though, tomorrow is definitely time for new ventures for my Etsy shop, after all, I can’t just fill it with cute quirky storage pouches. Though, of course, they would be perfect if you had lots of tiny, weeny little orphaned kangaroos 😉 OMGoodness!… you could nurture 8 different sized ones at the same time

Having bought four lovely new pieces of coordinating fabrics just days before Christmas (then, having cleared my studio to make room for family gatherings) the thought of it has been gradually burning a hole in my brain ever since! Singeing thoughts of what I could make with it at first, then, determining I will have plenty left over after it has been made into it’s original ‘purchased for’ idea, the smouldering continued… eventually becoming a vast hole, now filled with little ideas…..Mind you, as the sales are still on, four new fabrics might not be enough after all LOL 😀

Now, do I really need to sleep tonight??? Or, shall the crafting begin now ;-)?! More on the new projects coming soon!!

Dormouse…”Well, it’s nice meeting you here!”                                                               Pig…”Are you new too?”                                                                                             Dormouse… ‘ Yeah! I seem to have arrived here from nowhere!!!”                                   Pig…”I know what you mean, Me too!”                                                                   Dormouse…”Nice sofa though”                                                                               Pig… ”And, Tidy!”                                                                                                 Dormouse…”Yeah! I bet she never points the camera over there though!” And definitely not over there!!”                                                                                               Pig…”Or there and there either!!!”                                                                 Dormouse…”Wonder if there will be even more of us on here soon?”                         Pig…”Who knows?!? Suppose, we’ll have to wait and see!”                                     Dormouse…”Did you see that great site on the computer screen before? There are a couple others like us too?!?”                                                                             Pig…”You mean, https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/carenscanvasandcraft     Dormouse…”’That’s the one!”                                                                                       Pig…” looks like a colourful place to hang out for a while!”                                         Dormouse…”I reckon, its a starting point to a new……… future!!!”

After spending last week making lots of little things and a lot of mess, I thought I would change it around – make big things and, well,  less mess (Well, in theory, perhaps!)

These two new characters are made from my own pattern creations using some fabulous new fabrics I found at my favourite store, and, after tidying my ribbons I managed to find just the right ones to coordinate with both new little characters. The pink pig wool mix fabric has a tiny green line running through, (which doesn’t show up very well here) but the little neck ribbon bow matches it perfectly. Likewise, for the dormouse, made from such super soft cotton flannels, I also managed to find the perfect match of ribbons to pick up on the floral inner ears. As ever The trim at the base gave me the perfect excuse to add some decorative coordinating buttons! How could I be happier?!?

As, with all my new range of Doorstop Dumpies, they are now shippable,Worldwide! You might be able to see their little fancy zips at their bases, just sticking out? When they arrive at their new homes, the new owner simply has to unzip, pull out the stuffed cotton bag, remove the temporary ‘stuffing fluff’ and replace with some weighting element, grit/stone/sand or the like, place it into the little cotton bag, zip up, replace in the Doorstop Dumpy and refasten the base zip, A perfect ‘ONE OF A KIND’ character Doorstop Dumpy ready to hold open your door! YAY!

Posh peg pouches! New handmade designs for 2014. Each and everyone different.
MY ETSY SHOP Caren’s Canvas and Craft

 

Trying to keep up with WordPress over the last couple of weeks has been hard. I have been SEW busy!!! As a result, I haven’t been able to visit blogs I follow quite as often as I would have liked, for which I apologise.

Over the last weeks, I have been creating new picture designs for my unique posh peg bags/pouches, cutting a mountain of little pieces of felt and hand-stitching them in place. Each and every one I have made (and will make in the future) is different – no two will ever be the same, making them all the more special for the purchasers.

Without even having had time to upload them before now here on WordPress, and only a day up on my Etsy shop, some are already winging their way to washing lines across the UK. It really is a case of ‘‘If you like the one you see – get it quick!’‘ As it won’t ever be reproduced exactly the same again.

It really is peg bag season, a couple of days of warmer winds and some sun seems to have gotten the whole world looking for peg bags! And, I’m very proud of my designer (fully lined and with a little wooden hanger) peg bags and their handmade quality. So well made and unique, they are made to last for you for years (As long as your jealous neighbour doesn’t take a shine to it and sneakily remove it from your line!) My fingers are down to the last layer of skin almost, but I love making them, I just don’t ever want to seem to stop (but that’s me all over – why stop at one?)…as you will see below 🙂
