Inspiration
How a toy bunny came to be... from day one I had thought my little Lily looked like a bunny ... but not just any bunny, a Moopy bunny. Moopy is for MissyMoo, is for Poopylu, is for Missdroopy, is for Moopypoo..... is Moopy... DO YOU SEE THE CHEEKS! they are the Moopiest of all. Of course you can't get away with calling Lily anything except Lily these days.... although she still lets me call her my little angel... but that's as far as it goes. She will stongly proclaim, "I am not a Moopy, I am a Lily", just as we were chatting yesturday about how she is my favourite girl... she said "and Daddy is your favourite boy", so I asked "well if you're a girl and Daddy is a boy what am I?" and she said " YOU are a CARLY! (giggle giggle)" ... and yes we both laughed till we hurt.
I would still like to try and make a toy that resembles my initial illustration.... I think that maybe my entry for MORPHE II ..... speaking of MOPRHE II ... how are all your entries going? I have been absolutely blown away with all your applications.... very exciting. Only 10 days to go!! so if you were ummming and errrring nows the time to drop me an email and get your application in.
These two happy lasses & a bunch of others are headed off to Port Noarlunga for a textiles exhibition called FABRICATION.... well worth a look if you are in the area.
Youre back!! Love the pic at the top and Lily is such a beautiful name and she is so cute. And the dolls are really lovely!! Wish I could sew...

Aw, so sweet! My baby girl had those huge, pinch-able cheeks, too. Now she's 13 and slender as can be.
