there's a new lady in town

my cobber dolls seem to have taken a bit of a back seat lately i noticed whilst having a bit of a studio tidy up. i felt a lil bad for neglecting these lil men - so i decided to give cobber a bit of a make-over & also introduce him to a lady friend named Bridgette.

 she should be ready for the The Handmade Show on Saturday.

there is a story behind these people (as you know cobber was my grandpa) - i will share the rest of the story  soon.

my creative space

a late creative space.........i have been in bed for the last 2 days with the flu (ok, a really bad cold) hence the late post. so on thursday my creative space was at work (mystic turtle) where i spent the day playing around with gaspiete beads, and made a beautiful necklace. i love this crystal, it is an australian stone used by the aboriginals to connect back with their ancestors & the land. the colour is just amazing dont you think? i ummed and ahhed for a while about owning it, but i thought maybe it would be better in the jewellery case to be admired (hopefully) for a while.

i hope everyone is having a restful easter break, its a good time to catch up on all the creatives over here @ kootoyoo

okay, so now looking at my pic, obviously my cold had already set in. can you see what ive done? silly me ! oh well will fix it on tuesday.

my creative space

today i worked at the Mystic Turtle but this week i have been busy cutting wrap skirts. I love this pattern, as it was probably my best selling item when i had my shop. (go back about 100 posts to find out more about Holi Goddess or just google it and see what pops up)

ANYhow ..the best part about my wrap pattern is that they are a free size, can be adapted to winter or summer fabrics & look pretty damn good on just about everyone. So i have pooled my fabric stash together, mostly wools & vintage sheeting, to get a great lil story happening. I am also thinking about hand dying some cheesecloth scarves to match. So...time permitting, hopefully these babies will be up on madeit in a couple of weeks, or if i stretch my time a lil bit more maybe even open my etsy store. xxjade
