Little Houses on the Hillside
I have finally finished my little cardboard houses! Aren't they cute?
I made two.
One red
and one Blue!
The little candy canes and snowman are made from clay, but the snowman's arms are real twigs.
I had to wait for the bottle trees to arrive from the UK. I can't find them for sale anywhere in Australia.
The ric rac sets off the blue house wonderfully!
Displayed inside, the glitter twinkles like Christmas lights.
I might make a few more next year and start building a village!

Peg Dolls
A few months after starting out in blog-land, I was instantly drawn to follow a blog called Creative Breathing. The wonderful stories and photographs followed by joyous felt creations and then peg dolls was, and still is, truly inspiring. I enjoyed seeing her creations come to life with wonderful characters, but I especially enjoyed her peg dolls! Months went by and I won one of my very own Creative Breathing peg dolls!
When she arrived, I instantly fell in love!
Looking everywhere for peg doll supplies, I realized that Australia just didn't have any. In desperation I contacted Elizabeth and she came to my aid, sending out a small box full of equipment to make my very own.
Now, finally, after almost three years (my how time flies) I have finished making my first doll!
She is a self-portrait. The eyes, hair, clothes and lovingly held lizard is just so me, I am very happy with the way she's turned out!
Thankyou so much Elizabeth, for all your inspiration, generosity, and your wonderful friendship!

Pumpkin Patch
One of the things I love about Spring in Australia, is that up in the Northern Hemisphere it's Autumn and the pumpkin harvest is in full swing! I love pumpkins! Pumpkins to pick, pumpkins to eat, and pumpkins to sew, make and create!
Here's my little pumpkin patch:
Pumpkin Pin Toppers! In a pumpkin pincushion, of course...
Also some yummy pumpkin scones fresh from the oven.
And because I can, here's a few of my favourite pumpkin tutorials and patterns from around the web. Just click on the picture and it'll take you there!
Don't forget to check back tomorrow for Owl About Thursday!

Birdcage Weekend Sew-In
Thanks to Jenny and Wendy for hosting the Birdcage sew-in this weekend!! Did you join in the fun? I really enjoyed it, but didn't actually sew my birds...
I had these lovely birdcage ornaments that I picked up in the after Christmas sales last year, and knew they would be just perfect!
But after searching through some boxes and finding them, I realized how small they were and knew I couldn't sew a bird thatwould fit properly.
So my three little blue birds are made from polymer clay with seed beads for the eyes, and are hung in their cages with fishing line. They turned out fabulously, and are so tiny!!
Much better than empty bird cages, don't you think?! Go to Jenny's here to see who else participated in the sew-in and what fabulous birds they created!
