For example, on the chickens she makes, each feather is screen printed on, and then hand cut and hand sewn. Either way, I just love seeing what new plush piece she has crafted up, because each one is so cute and unique!Rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-40854558157525784302012-08-20T09:35:28.438-04:002012-08-20T09:35:28.438-04:00Oh then I feel so bad for you.

I am so one for reusing and re-purposing but the stuff they give those people seems so odd most of the time. I just dont get it. I believe i have crafters a.d.d so I try everything that interest me at least once and If i like it it sticks around. I mostly sew, silkscreen, and I finally got my own pottery wheel , so exciting in my world. I did sewn a cat out of a denyse schmidt book once, it was super cute and not to hard at all. here is a pic <br />http://justbonkers.blogspot.com/2011/01/project-january-complete.html<br /><br />I have an older copy of the stuffed magazine you mentioned and I love some of the projects in there, Looks like I may have to find the new addition because I think my girls would love a doll like that! Please post if you decided to give it a try, I would love to know details.

Pray tell, where would the fine lady with the dog go? Would she be artfully displayed on a table or would she come out at Christmas and live under a tree? Or maybe she'd be part of a bigger collection? I grew up i Europe, in a tiny apartment, and this would be pure luxury in terms of space. Though now that I live in a big house in Suburbia, I could see how I'd be smitten with this category of crafting. As to my crafting ability, when I emigrated to the States I was a nanny for three years and made plushies--though I had no clue that's what they were--and Halloween outfits galore, as well as maternity clothing. Later I made my wedding dress 'cos I was too cheap to buy the $6K version. Now I sew for the house: roman blinds, upholstery, pillows and duvets... that kind of stuff.Monikanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-9820984820922385282012-08-15T15:06:50.333-04:002012-08-15T15:06:50.333-04:00Sadly I don't craft at all, but I love seeing ...Sadly I don't craft at all, but I love seeing other peoples creations!

This is pretty darn close! I have some cute notecards purchased from an Aussie on etsy, that I plan to frame in a someday daughter's room. They are along the same vein...cute scenes with girls & dogs in faraway places (London Eye, Sydney Harbour Bridge, etc.).
