Meet Otto the Owl – My ‘Doorstop Dumpy’ Crafty Creation

Designed and created by myself, ‘Otto’ looks every bit a university boffin. With his smart brass ‘D’ ring spec’s, mortar board and subfusc . The owl is another one of my creations to act as a weighty little character to hold open any standard door, enhancing your room and provide a talking point!

The Dormouse has the key! ‘Doorstop Dumpy’

The pattern I created for this ‘Doorstop Dumpy’ was more successful than I ever thought it would be when first putting it together. As always it has an inner fabric sack sealed with cat litter inside to give it the weight to hold back a standard door. I think ‘She looks very demure with her her mop cap and lace trimmings. Another creation I like to adorn with old buttons. The spare curtain ring, which has been floating around my house for years, at last gets a new purpose too!
