Off the wall..

Quite rightly named 'Sandfords Laundry' as this wallpaper is the wallpaper I had growing up in our laundry. So when it was time for some redecorating I couldnt let this be painted over, so off it came, and voila beautiful ducks!!

Memory lane can be a bit dangerous though, I just spent a RIDICULOUS amount of money on some wallpaper that I had growing up as well. I will be making them into some ducks too so keep an eye out for those soon.

Create your family...

You can now mix and match the sheep and lambs you need to represent your own family. Lovely. All ready and waiting for you ..at Toggle

Swans, A long time coming...

Well I have had this idea in my head for well over a year now and I have finally started to make some. This is a sample of my Swandri Swans. Made with NZ made Swandris, fenceposts, nails and fencing tie wire. Domesticating the Swandri and its manly associations.

They are turning out well, with a few minor tweaks left to sort out. Problem is, ideas are coming faster than time allows me to make them! Somehow my curfew (imposed by husband and children) of 9pm on my scrollsaw, does not follow through to me using a hammer.

Book it into your Diary

I am looking forward to this...and so should you! Oh what wonderful craft you will find at Kraftbomb on Sunday the 26th of April at the Grey Lynn Community Centre from 11-2.

I will be holding a stall and will have some of my flying ducks and woollen sheep, and if you are really lucky some of my hot bambi guns (the latter might not be the most appropriate gift for Mothers day by the way). See you there............. and if by any chance you cant make it (and you better have a good excuse if you dont) then you should check out Toggle for some of the stallholders goodies.

Bang! Bambi Bang!

I remember crying for days as a child after watching the movie. Now look at what I am doing to poor little Bambi!! Innocence of a small child lost, and the sick mind of an adult found. Poor Bambi.

Made from a well loved, vintage Bambi book, that I glued together and handcut/scrolled.

(and it was fun)

Wicked Green Ducks....

Charles

Charles the family sheep. Well actually he was a pet lamb. A mighty good one at that. He got us the First Place Fat Lamb Ribbon back in the day. Charles also gets to wear the blanket we used to have as kids. SShhh though, I havent told my mum that I nicked it.
