Here is one of my fashion tips, always have in your wardrobe a dress that matches your quilt cover. This is one of my royal outfits that actually fits me but looks so awful on that I will never wear it, not even to the supermarket. Displayed and never worn, I love it. No, I don't sleep in that bed, I don't want to mess it up.
Big Ted had to have a new outfit if he/she was to stay on the bed. I quickly added a piece of Diamond Jubilee fabric to a T shirt and made a matching skirt from the same fabric. I might embroider over the 6 on the shirt to make it a 7 for the Platinum Jubilee. The little red, white and blue bear I released from a cabinet so BT could have a friend. We are in lock down again and somehow that makes me want to dress my dolls and bears.
Found this beautiful crocheted jacket in an op shop and had to buy it My large celluloid doll is once again dressed in the original clothes my mother made decades ago with the addition of the pretty jacket. The hat was an eBay purchase and can't remember where I bought the small bag she is holding. I've been told I can darken the white bag in cold tea and I might try that
The back of the jacket. Such lovely hand crocheting I felt I had to rescue it.
We are in hard Covid lockdown again and will be for another 4 weeks. My only outing is a quick supermarket trip or a short walk. Lucky I always have plenty of stitching to do and in the last few weeks I have been hard at work on this soon to be finished tapestry. I will change the 2012 year to 2022 To make it a Platinum Jubilee tapestry.
Then I must get back to working on my Andy Warhol Queen cross stitch. I love it but there are so many odd stitches and colour changes I needed a break.
Bought this fleecy throw for my lounge, it is very large so hope I'm not tempted to cut it down and make something else. I don't think anyone can say I won't be ready for the big Jubilee next year.

Lots of Lockdown activities 😁 the bedroom looks great and Big Ted is always dressed appropriately. A beautiful crochet jacket to find in the Op shop. And the Andy Warhol stitching is going well so I’ll look forward to the result. Well done with all your crafting and designing.
ReplyDeleteOnce we can shop I will follow your fashion advice and look for a dress to match the quilt.
ReplyDeleteMy teddy is in his undies maybe he should be dressed but lockdown will have to be much longer before I start to sew, would rather read. You seem to have arranged plenty of activities for your time at home. Love to see the finished items.
We are finally out of a very long lock down. Stores are opening again. That little doll jacket is really lovely. BT looks very happy with her new outfit :)
