Here We Go Again

I'm at it again. Creating another blog that will be left to mold and forgotten like an old toy. This attempt now is on my crafting. Phish...crafting...even that is a phase, which I hope is not.
***
Started crafting again. Or have attempted to revive my love for all things crafty and handmade 2 months ago with the birth of Ally and Alfie Phant. Made Ally for my sister who simply adores elephants and from then on have made a couple more as gifts for friends. 


Ally on my work desk before it was couriered to my sis

And here is Ally with my sis' cat - before the cat mauled Ally :p

Ally was made using Ikea's Saralisa fabric. And then I went fabric crazy and bought more of Ikea's fabric to make more Ally and Alfie Phant. More Ally actually as guys don't appreciate these things :p

Anyway, the sis thought that I bought the elephant from some charitable organisation or from some market in Thailand. Who would have thought, Mary likes to sew...

Here is another Ally made for a friend's niece. This time round
Ally has pink ears...

...and pink beribboned tail. Must say, wasn't too happy with it.
But the kid loved it. Oh well : )

This Ally was made using Felt and decorated with a Peony flower
design taken from this blog Yoonie @ Home

And finally...an Alfie Phant. Though the Ikea Gunnila fabric 
had flower pattern on it

Currently making 2 more for some one that I don't even know. Thinking of the materials as would like them to look different and at the same time also crocheting...yes, crocheting a what seems to look like a blanket... inspiration for crochet came from here ... Attic 24 lovely burst of sunshine colours *hearts*
