I am still alive.....

I just keep forgetting that I have this blog.... I have been flat out as usual. Since the end of January we have been flooded in twice. The second time is right now... We got cut off on Monday night... the road may be passable... I will check later this morning. I just do not drive through water at all......

Here re some dolls that I have made....


I am working on more at the moment and doing quite a bit of stitching....... hopefully will have more pics soon.......

Well I am off to check the road to see if it is passable.........

Have fun.

Has it really been that long since I have been on here... Life has been very hectic for us this year. I have had quite a few items published in the magazines and more to come in 2013. This in itself keeps me on my toes. Plus I have also been very active in two online magazines in the US as well. Oh and there have been some new patterns that I have managed to release.


All of these are available as hard copies and e patterns. 






 
 
Here are some of the projects that have been released in the magazines.
 
 
 

 
 

 

Some other things I have made......
 
 
 
 
 
This is what the sheep end up looking like.. they have cotton reel wheels.
There has been more things then these... but too many to list.

I am really going to try to keep on here more often in 2013... I think I said that last year as well. But Hubby is improving as each month goes by and my time may free up a little more next year. Well that is what I am hoping will happen.... LOL

One of our daughters was married this year so that was exciting for all of us......
I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very safe one as well.......
From the Walker family 2012... and my Mum

I have been busy....

This is the bag I made for our granddaughter... she was 20 on Feb 14th......



I have carded the flowers I made over the past few weeks... I love making these.....

And I have been playing around with some digital scrapping and made a couple of new siggy tags... what do you think.......

I have been busy....

Once again I have been stitching up a storm. I have to now do some serious patchwork and get all of the stitcheries made into something.....

This one will be called Apple Harvest for obvious reasons...LOL



This next one I am calling I Love You This Much........ 


This one is called Playmates.....


This one will adorn the top of an apron......


And I also made these flowers...... 
Boy are they fun to make... I will certainly be making many more of these.


There are more stitcheries... but as they are being offered to the magazines I cannot show them to you.
Plus I made a gorgeous doll and once again she is destined to be in a magazine... so alas no look at her either.

Today I plan on spending the day sewing and I am sure to get a few things finished so pop back soon to see what I have done.....

I was commissioned to make a couple of library bags for twins starting school... About 4 years ago I painted a plaque for them with their names on it... and Mum asked if I could applique the Raggedies onto their library bags.


 These were a lot of fun to make and I think I might make some more....


Now if I am to get stuck into the patchwork today I had better get off here and have some brekky.....

Happy Crafting everyone.
