Alrighty I told you I was working on a sweet commission and here it is… A lil’ cutie cupcake…….I couldn’t work out how to do the cupcake paper for the longest time, I even bought real cupcake papers but didn’t like how it looked………. then at about 2 o’clock in the morning it struck me how to do it, it was all I could not not to leap out of bed with scissors and felt right then and there but somehow I managed to restrain myself to wait till morning. I am really pleased with how it turned out especially as I had some pressure on who it was going to, you see the person who requested it is the incredibly talented doll artist Jen of Nanassisters …….I have been in absolute awe of her chibi juice dolls for a very long time, they are sooooooo good there isn’t a word for how good they really are. Take a look at the doll she made for me and of course I couldn’t have Alice without the Cheshire cat They are so perfect and wonderful it’s as if they came straight from Wonderland to hang out with us. Anyway I highly recommend that when you check out Jen’s shop you look through her sold items I promise you’ll be blown away by her talent.

Miffy is a small female rabbit in a series of picture books drawn and written by Dutch artist Dick Bruna. Her original Dutch name is Nijntje which stems from a toddler’s pronunciation of the word “konijntje” meaning “little rabbit”. The first Miffy book was produced in 1955, and almost 30 others have followed

Meet CC He’s called CC for his chubby cheeks ……I think it’s from his constant smiling, as I’m sure you can tell he’s a pretty sweet guy. He’s made entirely from alpaca wool which is a lot softer than the corriedale and although this sounds like a silly thing to say more hair like than sheep’s wool which means it requires quite a bit more stabbying. But as you guys know I love the process so it was fun to work with something different, makes the ole’ brain have to rethink things to make ideas work……I will of course add CC to the shop . I got a super sweet custom order that I’m working on at the moment…….I would give you a hint as to what it is but I think I just did, I’ll share as soon as it’s done of course
