Big Oak Trees Grow From Small Acorns



Now that Autumn is upon us and the weather is becoming more seasonal i have an urge to do some sewing, I haven't done much over the holidays as i have been busy out in the garden, mostly watering due to the lack of rain. 

I thought i would start with something small to get me back into sewing again so i chose to make miniature baby dolls from a book of Japanese small crafts.

The book is called Omiyage - the Japanese word for GIFT - Its full of enchanting small crafts with an unmistakable Japanese style.
 Its also a way of using up those small pieces of fabric that other wise would be thrown away.











  

I would like to thank everyone who takes the time to look at my blog and how grateful i am to all my lovely followers who comment on my posts.......xx

  1. Hi Linda. I know what you mean about the watering, it's been so dry. I love those Japanese dolls, they're so pretty. Like you I'm feeling I should get my teeth into something. I've just started doing a bit of art journalling and hope to post something soon.

  2. The book looks fun, something a bit different. The dolls are very sweet. I have been reseeding my lawn - so a lot of watering required there! Betty

  4. It is about time that we had a proper summer needing us to be out watering daily :) it really must be something about the seasons changing to the darker colder days as I too feel the urge to get one with something creative and indoors.
