Grumpy Kitty

Shopping

So the DAY AFTER my favorite little quilt shop has a 40% off for the first 2 hours. This year I was VERY frugal and even showed up at like 8:45 and brought cash so I wouldn't overspend. I actually was fairly project oriented and bought:
-a cute retro christmas print for napkins
-background fabric for our nature table
-an awesome Euro floral for a holiday wrap skirt for me
-this pricey floral to make dd a dress from this pattern book in the spring
- the perfect batik for the Waldorf mermaid doll I'm making dd for Sinterklass. I'm so thrilled about this one!
-some of my favorite pima cotton knit imported from Italy in white.

okay I did buy two prints that I'm not sure what I'm doing with, but I can't be expected to be perfect!

Amazon really has great deals on books. I'm so excited to give these to teh children at Christmas. Can they be any lovelier?

Dolls & Wool

So I've been working on bendy dolls. Last night I made my first one and an animal as well!! Woohoo! Color me crafty. No really I need to learn a few techinques, but I think they are fun and you can really be as creative as you want.

This is what Butter woke up to this morning.

She actually knew it was a unicorn so I was relieved it didn't come across as some weird fluffy poodle.

On other craft fronts, I'm working on my first needle felted wall hanging. It is a scene from a book we are reading. I'll post the finished pics next week.
FINISHED! updated 12/1

HAIRCUT UPDATE: still like it, but I could use some styling gel and less cowlicks. I still haven't had time to take pics when I actually like it. There is a pic over on the sidebar nowthat shows some of it in a weird wrap and it is now dyed a reddish pink.
