Christmas softies

These are the softies I made for Christmas, that I couldn't show you before.

Hare & rabbit. This was made for Amanda's daughter - Amy, who saw my display at the Fireworks studio in Riverside, Cardiff.

And above is strange fox who was drawn by Amy's boyfriend.

This is Big Foot the robot who was drawn by Moin, who is 7.

This is Nessy, who was drawn by the same artist who created 'Boy', two years ago. He went to Ireland. 

This is Godzilla, who was drawn by Kristin's nephew in Canada, seen below.

This is a matchstick man, who went to Italy for Andrea's nephew. 

This is Sausage and Melon - father and son

This is a 1982 policeman, drawn by James when he was 6. He is now in his 30s.

This is Crystal, designed by Lola, who is 10

Toy-making workshop for adults

On Sunday 7th December, I held a toy-making workshop for adults. Lots of fun was had. Here are the results:

 Alpaca nearly done

Ballerina getting made 

 The bits table

Hard at work 

 The table at the end of the day

 The finished alpaca rocking chair                    

Fern & Yioti

Fern drew this picture of her and Yioti when she was just 8 years old. On Tuesday she turned 18, so Yioti, who's been like a father to her, got me to make her picture come to life. I believe she was delighted with her special gift!

Butterfly has come to life!

I have finally finished my most loyal customer's 3rd order - a butterfly! This was a bit of a challenge to say the least!

I appliqued all of the detail on by hand, it took a while, but I think the result is good.

Last dates for orders in time for xmas

If you're thinking of ordering a softy in time for Christmas make sure you put your order in by 1st December at the very latest for those living in the UK, Europe and Canada. For anywhere else the last date for orders is the 24th November due to last postage dates from Royal Mail. 

Please bear in mind that overseas postage will also take longer and I'm starting to get very busy, so the sooner you get your orders in, the better!
