It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Where did this year GO??????????????? Here I am thinking I had months to organise myself when Christmas is a mere 21 days away!!!

I must say, I'm feeling that this year I shall be having to celebrate Festivus if I don't get my act into gear soon!

Anyway, in mood of the season I have decided to share a pattern to make your very own Makie felt Christmas stocking, so go to the Makie Christmas Stocking Link and right click and save it and get busy!!

I would love to have you link pictures of your stocking with your makie in my comments and if you have any questions just drop me a line.

Add a little gold trim to make it look fancy schmancy

Gimli, Gimli, where art thou Gimli

Ted Auditions for the Hobbit...

Really! This is one days growth!

Remember Remember grow a 'tache in Movember

Ted, looking a bit on the saucy side sporting a mustache.

Really!!! It didn't take long at all to grow!

Actually I think he could probably Model for GQ Magazine

Tom Selleck eat your heart out!

Millies Fungi Foray!

A couple of weeks ago we hit Chadkirk Park for some mushroom foraging,
Millie is dressed up snug and warm

It is a bit chilly out here...

 

 

 

We came across a little patch of Fairy Ring Champignon

These make nice eating for Makie

 

A nice small selection of Amethyst Deceiver (despite a few nibbles here and there by the local critters)

Really!!! It wasn't me who nibbled them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Millie finds a TINY Makie sized shroom

Perfectly Sized!!

Look what we found in here, a pretty rare Cauliflower Fungus

Nice- Don't want to get too close- I've watch enough Dr Who to know better

Millie decided to venture a little further down the path and we came across this newly built bridge over the river

 

 

 

I must take a photo of this!

My What a lovely day it was, despite the wet and mud!

Time to stop at the Chapel and have a nice hot cuppa!

The finished result (with a SHRUBBERY!!!)
Sorry for the crap pix but this is literally an 11th hour finish (as the boots arrived today for customising)
I won't have a chance to take any more daylight pix until we hit makielab!!

A nice one and not too expensive

Working on a costume

An elf, a wood fairy a minxy sprite?
It's millie modeling my interpretation of Makie Labs Elf costume
This is Makielab version

And here is my real life interpretation

The real thing!

I made wings (but they look like bat wings rather than fairy wings - my first attempt)

Big wings!

Still I think I didn't do too bad

Ah - the life of a wood fairy

Look, I can do the splits!

The last little bits...

The sorting is done, well almost :-O Just need to dress a few dolls and sort out some doll clothes (mainly Millies wardrobe) It's always the last little bits that take the longest to sort, where do I put them, what should I keep etc etc.
The Craft room is ready for use so now I can get back to posting... It's been a while
