This is the first time we have done the Christchurch Show.  Because of earthquake damage, we were in a large big top tent.  We had a fantastic first show back  in our home town – lovely customers and lovely other vendors.

Here is Poppy.
I just loved making her,and spent ages on the embellishments. Now I’d like a whole ‘flock’ of them.

Victoria goes steampunk.

Using Victoria pattern, I have made her a steampunk rag doll. The ‘straight’ Victoria has a simple drawn face…I decided to paint a ‘real’ eye and lips to go with the alternate theme. I have used the wonderful steampunk fabric I got from the US.

I think the really fun bit is the embellishments. I have a stack of charms, chains, hats that I can use. Mostly I have these from eBay, but some I have got from Sunshine Crafts. Of course being so far away from the US, postage is high, but I can’t source these in New Zealand, so…

I’ve finished them!!! So excited to have all nine blocks finished and mounted and on the wall!!! (Though I have to confess, even though I measured – with a ruler – I still have several extra holes in the wall behind the blocks while I was hanging them. LOL!!!)

So, now I just have to take the individual photos and write up the patterns.

I think they look gorgeous!!!
