In Retrospect

I still haven't been able to work out how to reload my missing photos so I'm just adding a few old pics of some the dolls I wrote about in my older posts.

I really enjoyed making the cloth dolls, and I am just trying to find the time and space to whip out the old calico and get stuck into my passion again.

 This was the beginning of Bella Blue. I truly love every step of the doll making process.

Nov 2015...So I'm back from a hiatus....

Between moving house, divorce, trying to finish my university degree, kids growing up, and a mother growing old and frail I seriously do not know where my head's been. It hasn't been in my sewing basket, that's for sure! 
So I'm back. I miss my dollies. I miss my sewing machine. 

I came back to check out my page and I don't know where all my pictures have gone, and I don't know how to load them back up, so please bear with the blank spots from my 2011-2012 blogs. 

I haven't been completely idle in the creativity department in the last three years. The polymer clay was put to rest. It was incredibly relaxing and rewarding, but too time consuming.

I got stuck into making cloth dolls and owls. I must confess, the owls I wasn't too crazy about. But there was some owl craze that took the crafting world by storm so I thought I'd jump on board for the ride. Here's where that journey took me...

I sold some of these at my local markets and posted some on Made It (www.madeit.com.au/BanaBakaCreations) and Etsy but nothin' much has been doin' on those sites.
