A Very Happy New Year to Everyone!! 🙂

To open Blogging in 2016 I thought I would start off the year with a happy face, well, I think it looks happy :-)!!.. and return to creating some of my little multi-pocket pouches, each with their own uniqueness and quirky features.

My little Origami fabric folded padded pouch designs have proved to be very popular, also, a fun way to get back into creative crafting for the new season!

A simple, but effective hand quilted diamond pattern over the entirety of the raspberry coloured fabric and to finish off, a magnetic clasp topped with a chunky black button!

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! 🙂

Oh Dear! and I thought I had got over the Bunny thing!! Obviously not!!! In between making fun fabric collages I got the unstoppable urge to make a little floral bunny – not just a decorative bunny – but a bunny knitting!!!

Its a little green flower power bunny, designed and handmade, complete with its own knitting bag and a half knitted scarf (I reckon there is enough yarn in that little ball for its new owner to finish off the scarf if they wanted too!)

I have knitted some embroidery thread on two toothpicks and secured them in place with a couple of stitches, made a simple gathered lace trimmed skirt and small alter neck top to match. One of my own pattern designs, a simple cute creation that will happily sit anywhere as a decorative piece, (especially as I designed it with a flat bottom for that reason) Made from small left over pieces of cotton fabrics from other projects I finished it off with a few little buttons, a lovely multi-green satin bow and added tiny beads to the ends of the knitting needle toothpicks then added a little white fluffy pompom tail – its so cute! 🙂

Complete with fluffy pompom tail! Check it out on  MY Etsy Shop, with more images and details available at,          https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/carenscanvasandcraft
