my creative space...

Well, my creative space and Miss 11's creative space today.

First, mine. I spent most of yesterday getting inspired by my birthday gifts and decided to try my hand at a softie.


I'm really happy with how she turned out. I've made a few attempts before at some softie's, but this would be the first one I've actually completed! I love her little selvedge dress!

Miss 11 this week has had a few lessons at school with clay, and i'm really proud of her creation! She calls it "The Esophalogaphus". Not sure how that would be spelt! Anyway, I love it!

Head over to Kirsty's for more creative spaces, and make sure to check out my giveaway in the post below!

I Love the Softie, you've done a great job! I especially love the pretty pink ears, they really stand out.

Also Esophalogaphus is great, i think he would make a really cool unusual Softie too, you should try making him a fabric friend!

I'm with Nicola, I can see this scary monster as a great softie! But he can't have a super cute dress like yours!

I love the softie. The softie bug has only just bitten me in the last week. It's thrilling to complete one isn't it? Super-cute selvedge dress too, Jodie will be proud!

That softie is marvelous, especially given my softie nightmares of late.

Very inspiring!

Your selvedge dress is beautiful. And I love your daughter's work. Clay is very fun to work with - just wait til she tries working on the wheel!

Your softie looks great. I live her snuggly ears. I agree that the clay creation would look great in textiles too.

That is a very cute girl you have there, well done. And your girl has done a great job on her creation, I admire anyone who can make clay look like anything other than a blob! Thanks for sharing
