Boo! Hallowe'en Sylvanians..


Admire the spooky mist (light in the camera:(  - it was too sunny)

 


And today - boo!!




The Sylvanians are dressed to scare



in witches' and wizards' hats -




and cloaks -


plus a jester in his special hat -


and a rather skinny pumpkin -

all made in felt and stuck with fabric glue and taken from patterns in the Sylvanian Collectors' Club magazine

Daisy's Trip to Mallorca


Lucky Daisy has been on holiday with Farrah and Hettie!





Farrah's design for a Sylvanian Carnival Queen





Nana and Farrah have made a Carnival Queen outfit from Farrah's design.












First of all Farrah chose some gold silk, and burgundy silk, layered together under gold net, then the hem was decorated with black and red sequins.






The top of the skirt has burgundy and gold ribbon. Gold elastic was threaded through the skirt to gather it up.


The burgundy ribbon was also used for the top which was decorated with gold beads.




Finally our beautiful Carnival Queen  has a crown made from gold ribbon decorated with the same beads as the ones used for the hem.

Tutti Frutti







We are now on a fruit and vegetable theme!


We have a Strawberry Sylvanian so far in fruit and a Carrot and a Pea Pod in vegetables.


Quite challenging!!







I have learned how to make a onesie but they are a bit low necked so the next batch will have higher necks...


These are all made in felt.




Also - a very low necked and baggy swim suit - work needed on these...
