    Making Friday: mid-July

    20 Jul 2012

    My Making Friday last week turned into a bit of an epic one. I was sick of chasing deadlines, and had a great idea for a new shop window, so last Friday… and Saturdy… AND Monday… became all about sewing, pinning and pinking a bunch of giant stuffed succulents, and decorating my shop window with them (with lots of help from Jess).

    I LOVE the way they turned out!

    PS: While putting on the second coat of black paint over the weekend, it suddenly dawned upon me that all those years spent backstage during my Drama undergrad degree are finally paying off. See Dad, it wasn’t just me dressing funny, smoking cigarettes and having a laugh. Now I’ve got my very own little stage set in the front of my shop, which means all those varsity fees were worth every penny.

    Puppet show, anyone?

        I’m glad you like them, but I”m afraid I’ve only made them for my own entertainment. easy to do. Make your own!

      What a brilliant pin-cushion – an inverse cactus.
