In my creative space today I am crocheting another Kokeshi doll. I'd love to know the secret to making them seem cute, mine seem to look cross.
Bren is pouring me love heart lattes. Behind my coffee you can see the artwork we are working on for the postcard designs we will release to announce the January opening of our farm shop.
The girls are doing sticker mosaics. Its pretty crappy being sick and having three kids at home at the same time. But it does make life a lot easier when I remember some of their birthday prezzies I had hidden away for times like these.
And I have a bit of a baby shoe production line going on. To see what all the other creative spaces look like today click on over to Kootoyoo.
Oh wow - it's ALL going on at your place!
ReplyDeleteI love your little dolls - I really think they look cute already - I do!
Those wee booties are super sweet too... *clucks*
How do you do it!!! There must be a super energy secret vitamin in those veggies!!
ReplyDeletedivine baby shoes, divine I say!
ReplyDeleteFarm shop sounds exciting!! I love your Kokeshi dolls, cross is cute too!, they really are cute Kate. Hope you folks feel better soon, and the baby shoes looks adorable too!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you can do all that while everyone is sick! You are amazing. Those little shoesies are so sweet and I like your crocheted dolls, even if they do look a little cranky. Maybe they have reason to be..who knows what goes on in the mind of a doll. Can't wait to see the postcards. Lovely to see you & Bren in Thaw too xo
ReplyDeleteKate those baby shoes are divine, I love them! I'm not expert in koshi facial expression, but I think it has to do with the angle of the eyes - if they are a line and they angle in a bit like a 'V' they tend to look more cross. Try changing the angle of the eyes and see what happens. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeletehope you are feeling better soon ~ can imagine the trickyness.
ReplyDeletereading your post is making me head to the kitchen to try and make a love heart late {what a lovely man u have}.
p.s whenever i stitch eyes they look either crazy or cranky!

ReplyDeleteAnd I'd take homemade love heart lattes over jewels and flowers and presents any day.
Wow Kate talk about busy! But luckily you've had the heart shaped, love filled coffee's to keep you going ;)
ReplyDeleteWould love to know more about the soap savers ... which brings me to what I was crocheting whilst OS .. kinda face cloths I guess ... except they seem very loose ... perhaps should have done trebles instead of doubles?
What a busy space! I'm very impressed. The shoes are super cute, (great pattern too). How did you go with the blue face doll?
ReplyDeleteYour kokeshi doll is very cute!! They do look a bit angry hehe, but that can be cute too!!^0^

ReplyDeletehope the sickie train leaves the station soon. you have been busy, love all of your creations and a heart latte! be still my beating heart
ReplyDeleteI was delighted to hear you mention you've been working on baby shoes, as I've been up to the exact same thing! Love yours - particulary with vintage elements - nice to know someone else loves re-using this stuff as much as me. Everything here is lovely. x
