no WIP wednesday

So yesterday was Dollar Dress Day at my sisters work. Princess Margaret Hospital for Children have a annual dress up day, the wards choose a theme and they decorate and get dressed up. This year was Alice in Wonderland, and Meagan decided she wanted to be the white rabbit, so we spent days making this costume. With only 1/2 a meter of fabric it was quite cheap, only about $25. The effort involved, on the other hand, was a bit more costly. I made crepe paper flowers and was cutting out red and white roses for days it seemed.

Anyway it was fun, and the kids loved it, Meagan got petted all day, and one little girl kept whispering 'fairy, fairy' whenever she saw her.

And we have a great easter bunny outfit, if anyone is interested!?!

Hello New Year and new blog.

Helen, ex work collegue, says blog. So blog I am. Hopefully I can keep this up for longer than a week.

I am so relieved to have the Christmas crochet marathon over. I have started on my next project, I had promised my sister some finger puppets to take to work. She is a paediatric nurse at PMH and they use the puppets to distract kids from painful procedures. They dont take long, but Im struggling with making them 'child friendly', apparently they are too 'Nightmare Before Christmas'.

One of my pre-christmas puppies went homeless this holiday season. Poor little guy. He's keeping the other kids company on my bookshelf for the moment, but I might try to find him a new home soon!
