Replenishing my Gift Box

This week I thought I'd spend a few days making some small items to replenish my Gifts Box. I always like to have a few(quite a few) items ready for gift giving.I try and have a range of colours and styles, so this makes me work with colours etc that aren't my own taste.

Nice tidy sewing table, ready for face making and sewing on yarns, braid etc.

 Here are some little dolls I'm working on. They are flat, so they'll sit nicely against a wall, or they could be a book mark.I am looking forward to making their faces, which is the favourite part of doll making (in my view).I know lots of people dread the face making part.I love how I am often surprised by the expressions on my doll faces.They seem to have their own separate identities- despite what I think!

                                                   Dancing Gypsies

These little ladies just need their heads, hands etc.

                                  I do all the beading at night in front of tv.

I found 3 of these half done, so I've made some more.These dancing ladies are going to be strung as another pennant. My sewing room looks just so inviting with them.I love to surround myself with colour. The rest of my house ins quite neutral, but not my work room!!

Little Cat Pennant- another to add to my sewing room.
