The bugs are quite buggy...

This was made this for my neighours new baby using mainly free patterns that I found online, and the wings from Anna's Butterfull pattern for the butterfly. The Dragonfly is one of my free patterns, you can download the pdf here.

Brown


Brown!, originally uploaded by disco smurf.
I was reading the Wee Wonderfuls blog last night and noticed that one of the newest dolls in Hillary's collection was this lovely Rainbow Brite doll. A few months ago Nouka and I found Rainbow's friend Patty O'Green in one of local op shops, we got her for a song! She was missing Lucky her Sprite, but was in pretty good condition. It was the first doll that Nouka named something other than 'baby', her name is Brown. I love the cute little face and the wacky 80's space outfit!

Dear diary.....

Now that I've finally picked a blog title that I'm happy with I can start blogging, something that I've been thinking of doing for ages. Hopefully I'll have enough to say! I have quite a few crafty patterns and tutorials so I'll start adding those and coming up with a few new ones as I get the time. Thanks for coming to visit!
