This is my favourite Cloth Doll - Merlin, his Cape was made from a Velvet Dress I found in an Op shop, it was perfect for for the cape, once it had been cut and sewn together again . I really enjoyed seeing him come to life.
I work Part-time but am an avid sewer...when I get the time and the inclination to do so, whether it be sewing clothes, quilting or making cloth dolls, I thank my mother for teaching me this skill, if it wasnt for her patience I wouldn't be able to sew today, or be confident enough to start up my home alteration business. I am married for the second time now to a wonderful, caring and sometimes frustrating man and now have 2 Adult Sons, 1 Stepson and a Grandson on the way. I cant wait to hold a baby in my arms again. I enjoy looking in op shops and especially secondhand stores, mainly just to search out items of yesteryear that my mother/grandmother used to own/use, Its a buz seeing things you remember from your childhood. I love catching fish whether it be, in a river, a dam, out at sea, on our boat, or from the beach with my Husband, I thank my father for installing this love of fishing in me. Both my parents are gone now but will live forever in my heart. I can't wait for the day I can ride a Horse again, preferably my own. Basically, I cant stay still for very long, I have to be doing something.
