Happy Friday everyone!
For those of you with children who've been off for the Easter holidays, I hope you've transitioned back into normal life without too much trauma. For me it's been a trying week, my daughters very much like their sleep, so they haven't been very happy about being woken up early each morning for school.
As a make peace, I made my eldest a little friend to go with her doll (who she has finally named Kay Kay)
It was a really quick make. I didn't start it until after 10pm last night and finished the crochet side of it by 11.45pm. Had my yarn been more cooperative (it was very splitty) it would've taken even less time.
My daughter (who is very creative herself) set about making her new toy a nest. Isn't that just so cute!?
In other news, I think I've settled (temporarily) on a fabric for the chair. I say temporarily because I will cover it again when I decide on a theme for her room, but I can't really do that until I move the younger one in with her.
So for now, what do you think? It isn't fixed on yet, I'm hopefully doing that tonight.
Other things I've finished this week...I've already blogged the following, but incase you missed it here they are again.
P.E. bag for my biggest, full post here
and a crayon roll for one of her friends' Birthday
I had hoped to have the little sister dress finished today, hopefully next Friday huh?

Oh wow but you make some awesome stuff! I LOVE that owl, I'm off to look at the knitted version in a minute. I love the fabric for the chair, it looks to pretty with the other colours in the room. You crochet, knit, and sew, amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, that's really kind of you to say :) I think I'm going to have a go at the knitted version too.
DeleteWhat a productive week! That little owl is lovely and perfect for your doll. Now here's the question, does your daughter love the owl or the doll more? I missed your bag post so thanks for linking back to it.
ReplyDeleteHaha it's hard to say right now because she only saw it for a few minutes before I whisked her off to school, but she seems to love them both equally from what I can tell. She's grown more and more attached to the doll and now wants more clothes for it.
DeleteWow - so many great projects! I'm still loving your doll. Just checked out your crayon roll post. Love the idea. A sewing machine has been on my wish list for a while. Maybe this year I will get one....
ReplyDeleteI hated (HATED) sewing when I was at school, I don't know what possessed me to buy a sewing machine..I think it was because I love handmade childrens clothing and I really wanted it to be made by my hand. I love sewing now...weird.
DeleteWow you have been busy. Your doll is so cute. I did check out the crayon and bag post. I posted there on Wed. Thanks for sharing such awesome work:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind comments. Just had a look at your granny squares, they're great :)
DeleteThe doll is adorable and so is her little friend :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh I love a quick project! So very satisfying and even more so if it is received well! Clearly this one was - very sweet!
Thank you. I love a quick project too, I really should do more of them.
DeleteI adore the owl!!!! And the doll looks awesome too.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric for the chair and the PE bag is one I would use myself!
Thank you. I have a plan to make more owls and make a rainbow of them :)
DeleteThe owl is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I've just cast on the knitted version :D
DeleteThat owl is adorable! I am sure Kay Kay is thrilled!
ReplyDeletex
Thanks, I'm sure she is :)
DeleteLove the owl. I'll have to add that to my Ravelry queue
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteOh, the chair looks wonderful! I was leaning toward the lighter dot print, but seeing this in action, I quite like it!
ReplyDeleteI had a couple of people suggest velvet, so I might do that one day when I've decided what to do in that room.
DeleteYou have been really busy haven't you?? Wow! The little owl is adorable and I love the pink polka dot chair. You are very creative and talented!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind comment. I've been in a particularly crafty place. Mostly due to the computer giving me headache so I've not been tempted to spend all night on the PC.
DeleteYay, the doll has a name! I guess that means your girl has decided she like her.
ReplyDeleteThe owl is quite cute as well.
Oh yeah she loves the doll now. She comes in the car to school every day and I have to leave her there for when she gets back in the car at home time.
DeleteLove the fabric for the chair. The polka dots seem to vibrate with happiness! Such a cute little owl, and how adorable, a nest for him!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I've used that fabric quite a lot over the past year. I think it's safe to say it's one of my favourites
DeleteWhat a cute little owl, perfectly sized for tiny hands. I love his nest.
ReplyDeleteThanks :D
DeleteWhat an adorable owl! And super cute sewn items, too!
ReplyDeleteYour work is adorable! :) Your children are surely happy with your creative skills:)
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty things to see here. They are all great and the fabric for the chair is perfect. The fox fabric is very interesting and gives me some ideas...thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteaww such a cute owl! your sewn items are so adorable too!
