Cara

Good day people! As mentioned in a an earlier post I'd like you to meet little Cara.

Cara is a Thingamajig.
Thingamajigs are born into this world for a wonderful reason- to bring friendship, happiness, smiles and laughter. They are created through someone’s imagination, but not very easily............................ you have to wish for one! And if you are lucky enough to bring a Thingamajig to life you will have a friend forever as they are such loyal and happy creatures and the best thing is if you try really hard you can wish them up for your friends too!

Cara was born on 20th September 2010. She's drawn to anything pretty and her favourite food is bread and jam. Her favourite pastime is going for walks outside and she loves looking out of windows & watching the world go by.

Cara comes with her own name card showing the details above. If you would like to buy her as a gift for someone let me know the name of the person you are buying her for and I'll add it to the card with a little message.

Although Cara was made with great care she is NOT a toy for children- she loves gentle cuddles but can't take too much of the rough stuff!

Cara's height is 250mm or approx. 9.5" (inc. her ears)
Her width is 115mm or approx. 4.5" (not inc. arms)

Thanks so much for reading :)

Thingamajigs!

Well I promised to blog at least once a week and I've made it- phew only just!

For a while now I've been trying to finish making some Thingamajigs and I finally did it- just need to find time now to take proper photos of them and list them in the shop! I love the way they all turn out different from one another, like they have their own little personalities :)

Florence

Hello! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I had a great crafting Saturday with my friend Emma (another Emma!) we made a few things, went for a walk in the sun and ate cheese and piccalilli sandwiches (yum). Thanks Em for a fab day :) And as a result of my very crafty weekend I would like to introduce you to little Florence! Florence is of course a Thingamajig. Thingamajigs love exploring and have a particular love for plants and flowers. They are born into this world for a wonderful reason- to bring friendship, happiness, smiles and laughter. They are created through someone’s imagination, but not very easily............................... you have to wish for one! If you are lucky enough to bring a Thingamajig to life you will have a friend forever as they are such loyal and happy creatures.

I thought it would be fun to take some pictures of Florence as she explored my garden- she was particularly excited when she found some pink flowers (she loves anything pink). I may have got a tad carried away with my picture taking but she just looked to cute and I couldn't stop! Also check out her denim satchel that Emma made for her :)

If you would like to adopt Florence she is looking for a good home with someone who enjoys eating rhubarb crumble from time to time (her favourite food) :) Click here for more info.

Present Making!

Hello there!

Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas! I had such a lovely week spending time with family and friends, eating yummy food, drinking Gingerbread Lattes, watching films, eating yummy food, opening presents and...........eating yummy food! Yes, I am feeling a little plumper than usual (but in a good way)! ;)

I decided this year that I would love to make Christmas presents for friends (look above for some of the little Thingamajigs I made). I am pleased to inform you that moo cow has already been named Chloe! :) 

I would love to make these to sell in my shop but to be able to sell them at an affordable price I will have to keep practicing until I'm a lot speedier with my sewing needle and sewing machine! Hope you like them!

Little Martha

Let me introduce you to Martha!

I sent her as a present for a friend who was serving in Iraq at the time and needed to be cheered up. Martha's favourite food is yellow jelly- so she arrived in her little gift box complete with some yellow jelly and packets of Rowntress Jelly Tots to share with Pam.  She is the first Thingamajig to travel overseas and was very excited about it as, as you already know Thingamajigs love to explore!

I hope you like her!

I make Thingamajigs!!

I'd like you to meet Petunia!

She was one of the first Thingamajigs I made (and as a consequence I couldn't bring myself to sell her!).

Thingamajigs like to explore and have a particular love for plants and flowers. They are born into this world for a wonderful reason- to bring friendship, happiness, smiles and laughter. They are created through someone’s imagination, but not very easily............................... you have to wish for one! If you are lucky enough to bring a Thingamajig to life you will have a friend forever as they are such loyal and happy creatures and the best thing is if you try really hard you can wish them up for your friends too!

I make Thingamajigs as commissions so if you would like to wish one to life for a friend or even for yourself send me a message. Or visit my DaWanda shop where little Peter is hoping to find a good home. Each Thingamajig comes with a his or her name card with the story above, the date they were born, their favourite game and favourite food.

I'll have more Thingamajigs to show you tomorrow :-)
