there has been a bit of a creative slump here this week.
a migraine laid me out for a day and so there has been a shortage of posts and creating.
fortunately last night saw me feeling better and snuggled in cosy corner putting the finishing touches on some new "girls".
my favourites are the two made from old doilies.
i love to look at the beautiful stitches that someone lovingly worked many long years ago.
i love that they no longer live in the bottom of a dusty bin at the local op shop.
mostly i love that they have been given new life and will belong to someone small who will love them.
thank you kirsty, for hosting my favourite meme, check out the other players by following the links on the list at kootoyoo

The girls look great. I love the use of the embroidered pieces.

Your dollies are adorable. I love their smiling faces. They are going to make someone very happy. Glad to hear you are feeling better after your migraine. Horrible things! Take it easyx

What a great way to reuse embroidered pieces. They're lovely!
I have plenty of those slumps myself. It's amazing how easily they stall all creative progress. Glad you're back at it!

You do such great stuff with old embroideries - wish I could find as many cute ones as you do. I hope that migraine stays away now... nasty things.

Being a semi-outed closet cross-stitch lover, I particularly like the lovely lady on the right! Hopefully your migraine is now long-gone, and wont return, at least for a while!
