Colours

Just plugging away here...working on colours. I spent the morning at the printers while the very patient Mel mixed colours.

I also have to say a big thank you to Angela who brainstormed this idea of a Matryoshka Doll panel with me back in March at the Melbourne Stitches and Craft show (there was a second idea cooked up that I'm yet to sketch). Also all the people who suggested different colourways and my college buddy, Monique, who made some colour decisions. There...anyone else? Seems to have turned into quite a production.

There's also been some sewing and knitting. I can't really knit. That gene skipped a generation. But every 5 or so years I pretend I can and make a few simple, holey things. Photos to come.

I really like the different colour ways. I am trying to debate how to use the fabric I bought from the store. I'm excited to see if different color ways appear in your shop soon. I have to say this is one of my favorite blogs out there in blogland.

Great colours! The Olive, sky blue and velvet purple are my favourite.

I loved your original red and pink, but a rich blue or purple gives a lovely doll and works well with the peacocks and poppies.

Great new colourways! I love the Charcoal/Aqua. I can't wait until they are available so I can sew something for my little miss on the way...

Hello! I just like them all!! Does that mean if knitting skipped a generation that either Harry or Jack are knitting whizzes??!!
