Morris #2

Here is Morris #2. He is a gift for our daughter, husband and our two grandchildren. He was a lot of fun to make and embellish. I finally had to stop the embellishment but he is a doll who loves his finery..

FairyHouse

March 7, 2009. This fairy house gave me lots of trouble. The pattern was like a jigsaw puzzle with bad directions on how it went together...A friend figured it out and it eventually it turned out very cute, just as I was about to put it in a drawer & forget about it. I used Tyvek for the roof and a hot air gun and that was a lot of fun.
