Tomberry costume

Today, I have completed this : a costume of TOMBERRY ... I had never heard about that creature before, I must confess my ignorance ... So when Alex ordered it to me , he made a drawing , I looked for pictures on the internet ( there aren't really many ...) It is a sort of lizard -like creature, dressed as a monk ... from what I gathered ...
The monk robe was ok for me to make , but I had to do some thinking for the lizard- like head ... I wanted the boy to be able to breathe in it , but I feared the head might look " empty" , I had made a device to make it look firmer , but gave up the idea ...
I was quite happy of my idea for the popping eyes : it is in fact a Christmas decoration , a transparent sphere that I pierced with a hot needle to fix it on the head ... I hope he will manage to see a little through that ... Though I fear if he wears it for Halloween, he will have to be led by the hand .... Well ...

so , here it is , DO YOU LIKE IT ALEX ?????????????

I even added feet , that wasn't specified in the assignment , but I think it looks nicer ... And I found the knife and the little lantern ..

Thank you M. for trying the costume on , so that I could take the photos ... You look great in it ... Pity no-one will recognize you !!!!

Pink witch

Today, I have completed this little witch.... I decided for a complete pink , the pattern already was of a cute, funny witch, so I had the idea to change the usual colours of Halloween , I know a little lady who loves pink , I hope she will like my pink witch !!!! Thank you, mideco for the pattern !!!!

My workroom ... before

Last July , at last , after so many years , we finally settled ... HOME !
And I was very happy : I was allowed to use the former garage as my own WORKROOM !!!! I decided to use things I had , as much as possible , so I kept this old wardrobe to put my stuff in ....

The place is quite big , and in it there is also a big fridge that we use when the house is full in the summer ....

I was quite decided to have this old wooden desk next to the large glass doors , and put my sewing machine on it , even if it is a bit on the way , but I want to be able to enjoy the view on the garden , it is so pleasant in every weather and any season !

What a mess !!! there was a lot to do !!! Will I manage to find a place for all the stuff , and to make it look ... well , better ...

I could already do a few things ... But it did need tidying !!!!

Summer Game : back to school

For the Summer game at mavacre , the theme is : back to school .... At first , I don't know why , no idea , but eventually I could find those , very old and very used pencil cases that I made - a long time ago ... And I realize that it is also recycling again, isn't it ?

Well , again for the summer game at Mavacre
