An Anime Moment

One day in the little house with the long legs down by the creek... Moon girl had been watching little Munchkin walk around this morning in a nappy and singlet with a lamb tucked under one arm. The thought occurred to her that it was such a gorgeous toddler image she would make a perfect anime character. So she decided to try her hand at capturing little munchkin in anime style and pulled out the "How To Draw Anime and Game Characters Vol.1" book and had a go.

Make Your Own Gorgeous Hobby Horse

Make Your Own Gorgeous Hobby Horse

One day in the little house with the long legs down by the creek... a wee little patchwork pony was born.
Moon mouse had been shopping and seen hobby horses at the toy shop however he didn't like the oh so pink and pretty and plastic look to them all. So he came home and decided to make one instead enlisting Moon Girl to help too.
Neigh, I even have bells on my halter.
I love it because it's so bright and colourful and of course the satisfaction of having made it ourselves.
If anyone is interested in the know how (it's really not that hard) it follows after the break...

Elements of A Creative Space

One day in the little house with the long legs down by the creek...
Moongirl unpacked all her arty stuff which had been hiding in boxes and made a "creative space" under the house for it all. Every house she had ever lived in had a creative space and they seemed to end up having many things in common. Following is Moongirl's list of essential elements for a good creative space.

1. Some kind of desk or table and chair.

How To Turn Daddy's Old T-Shirts Into A Cute Toddler Dress

One day in the little house with the long legs down by the creek... Moon Girl had finally dug her old sewing machine out and decided to make something. Being a rather lazy sewer she wanted something easy. No buttonholes or zippers or anything much more complicated than straight seams.

 









This is what she made being modelled by the beautiful Bibi Munchkin. Now would you like to hear the story of how she did it and you can too? All right then well sit down, make yourselves comfortable and we'll get started.
