Hello Dolly

This is one of my latest projects, almost finished...although it does look like something out of Platoon at the moment. Stella is in her last year at Waldorf kindergarten, and Ruby goes along to playgroup in the same building once a week. They both love it, and we really are keen for them to continue through this education system as it feels right for us. So as a result I have become part of the craft group which makes gorgeous things for fundraising events. This is my latest dolly, my third thus far. Really close to being all stitched up into her finished form. It is hard to give them back, as you end up putting so much into them...

You have to start somewhere...

Rainbow fairies come to me,


Dance upon my paper free,


Help to make my painting bright,


Filled with love and joy and light.

This is my first post as a blogger. I have travelled in blogland, finding inspiration from other blogs, priviledged to see into other worlds, families, lives and dreams. I have until now hummed and harred about joining in. Not because I don't want to share, but probably because I think I might not have anything worth sharing. But today I have decided to leap. If anything I hope that sharing will not only inspire me creatively, but will actually force me to finish all those projects I have started! So my first post is about my inspiration...both of them. Above is Stella who is five. She is a thoughtful soul, sensible, caring and kind. And below is Ruby who is two. She is the comedian in our family, always making people laugh.



I find inspiration in both, and here is a place I can share that inspiration with others.
