G’day Mate.
March 2, 2011
This was a really quick illustration of the stereotypical Australian hat, with the corks lining the rim. I needed a card for a ‘sheila’ who was leaving for Australia and I realised that the only cards available where the generic ‘sorry to hear you are leaving’ which are usually reserved for colleagues leaving places of work. So I just whipped this design up super quick, I hope you like.

Punk Rock Kitty.
January 30, 2011
After I gave my sister her Nurse Hello Kitty Plushie, she asked if I could make her another Hello Kitty Plushie this time a rock/punk Kitty, she picked the colours and told what she would like. I had so much fun creating this one for her! I loved making the skull and cross bones bow, and I think the stars up the opposite side of her face are so cute!

After I made Mr Reily, my sister said that she would like a Hello Kitty plushie. She is a nurse, and she loves anything Hello Kitty and so I decided to create a Nurse Hello Kitty, with Nurses hat and blue bow. I think she is super cute, she only took 3 hours to make, so an extremely quick craft project, with a fun result!

After the failed Jasper attempt I decided to create one of my other Characters for my mum, Mr Reily. Again his colours were not all in the felt pack so I had to make a few substitutions. Learning from my mistakes with Jasper I decided not to make the project any more difficult for myself and so I decided to stitch visible stitches, and thank fully for my sanity it worked this time! So everyone meet the very friendly Mr Reily.
Jasper Plushie.
January 30, 2011
My wonderful sister came home with lots of sheets of felt for me yesterday and I got straight to work. I have been wanting to make a Jasper doll for quite some time the packs had all the colours for him except for skin colour but I decided not to let this hold me back and so I substituted peach for white. I wanted Jasper to be cleanly sewn, with no visible pieces of thread, so my idea was to sew him inside out and then turn him out to show perfect lines, this worked for the head, but unfortunately it was not so successful with the body. The fabric was too thin and so I could not turn it back out after I had completed stitching, so this was a failed attempt, but I learned a lot from it.

Ahoy Hoy.
January 5, 2011
I adore old things, and I remember when I was younger we use to have one of these old fashioned Phones as our actual phone. It was an antique, it was the real deal and it was such a pain to use as you could barely hear the person the other side, but its quite a nostalgic feel to see them!
