About Me

My photo
IMAGINATION IS THE EYE OF THE SOUL Joseph Joubert. I am a mother of four...I still remember the smile that refused to go away for weeks after our daughters birth. To have a little girl appear after three sons seemed such a miracle. I have always enjoyed My Doll World, sharing it with Lara when she was little. Today I design knitted outfits for miniature dolls and enjoy every minute of it. The fact that the outfits are removable is what makes it so special for me. Using ever finer threads has opened so many MINIATURE DESIGN opportunities.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

HELP!!!


I have not forgotten to draw the lucky number of my list followers....I SIMPLY don't know how to get  a listing of the names of the people that have joined my email feed. So I am going to ask if anyone reading this blog knows how to do it?

Also since blogger changed the posting format I can't work out how to put a heading on the post. The label system works.

In the meantime ladies and gents who did join my email feed please drop me a line in the next 24hours and then I can add you to the DRAW....


Thought I would add one of my most favorite cards...
I do so love little mice! 
How cute is this little scene...
I love the colours in fact everything about it

Miniature Crochet in the Studio





The mice have been breeding and so have the number of outfits.

I have been working on a system for making a crochet pattern that one can "read" from a photograph.

I was taught to crochet my copying a doily that my grandmother had made.

The Japanese patterns work really well for me, but when I try to draw the design I run out of paper. I know the patterns can be done in the software program Illustrator but that involves learning a new program.
I wonder if I could learn just the part I need to know.......

All the mice have been made by my friend 
Anna Esteves




















Enjoy!

SALLY MAVOR

What a delicious imagination, Sally's creativity, sewing skills and choice of colour are to be marvelled at.

How she must have enjoyed creating such a 
MUST HAVE book. 

The illustrations are so beautifully detailed.

Imagine a miniature version of this Nursery Rhyme Book, in a room display.

The book is available from Amazon for US $ 14.95





See other pages of her work at these links.





Sally is doing a traveling exhibit in America, wish I could be seeing it.
