thanks tam!

my big sister, tam, sent me this cute softies magazine last week - i was very excited when i opened it to see what it was!

"The Toy Book: In fabric oddments or felt" (no. 524), 1976, England. (by the way, toys are by Anne and Barry Morley - another couple!) can't find anything about them on the inter-ma-net though...



I really like the tiger and the owls -- now to think who i could make them for!





the images remind me of vintage swap cards

Bunny making

I have spent part of my Saturday and Sunday creating the cute blossom bunnies found in the Softies book (Penguin, 2007) - and these blossom bunnies have been created by Sarah Bowe. You can see some of her bunnies on flickr.

You can see my blossom bunnies on the header of my blog, and have just uploaded a pic to flickr here.



From this Softies book I've also made two Mad Dogs from Herzensart's pattern, and the beetle bug by Nest Studio for a new baby boy. I completely forgot to take a photo of this beetle bug, but he was extremely cute!

One of the mad dogs I made for Lili over at insideadog.com.au -- as it just looked like inky, their mascot. She posted it here and here.
