A Little Deer

A few months back I was doing a little doodling, and sketched a little deer...

... I love the vintage style 'Bambi' deers with over sized heads...

... so had to make myself one!!!

I think she is rather cute... she has the 'ahhh' factor, and is perfect for little hands to hold.  I love the way she looks in vintage fabric, and feel it is in keeping with the era of the style.  

This is a sneak preview of things to come, I will be creating some of these to sell!  They will all be made using vintage fabrics, and will therefore be a limited number of each, so keep your eyes open for the ones you like!

Although she doesn't really have a name, when I glimpse her in my room 'Dilly' springs to mind.   So what do you think then?  Should I stick with Dilly or do you have any other suggestions?

Softies for softies!!!!

Thought I would share my new collection of Softies. All ready to be found new homes. I actually finished them last week, but have only just managed to get my camera out. They are just lovely. Unfortunately you can't squeeze one..... they are sooooo cuddly (I stuff them with lambswool for extra cuddlability). I sold quite a number at Craft Fairs & parties just before Christmas because people (women in particular!) couldn't put them down once they had picked them up. One woman came back the following month to buy another because she wanted a friend for her first one!!!! I also give them names. I've just been sat here with my dictionary of first names deciding what each of them is going to be called. It's like choosing names for my babies again (without interference from my hubby!!!!). He he... just remembered another lady at the last fair I did. I had to read her each of the female bunny's names whilst she cooed over each one of them before deciding which would be going home with her. Her fella stood very patiently, rolling his eyeballs from time to time!!!

My softies are however looking for new homes, and will be going up on my esty shop later on in the week. Click here to see them.
