WOYWW - a dressing up skirt for Katie Morag

 Good morning all!
Another week has flown by and I am happy to say that I have managed a few crafty activities this week.
As you see above, I finished the little dressing up skirt for a Katie Morag day.
It seems that lots of schools are having a Katie Morag day where children can go to school dressed as a character from the Katie Morag story books. It sounds like fun for the children but obviously a headache for mums to come up with the outfit!!
I have made a couple of little kilts over the years for my teacher nieces for their class to use in their role play.
So this one went together nicely - I love the fabric - its is knitted viscose and will be quite cosy I think.

On my desk today is a picture that I am making for Maxine. She is putting together a project linked to her charity. They will be running "vintage style" tea parties and I thought the tea cups collage might make a good picture to go on their invites and posters. I love all the pretty fabrics and trims don't you?

The little bag on the left contains the bits and bobs for another little Katie dolly.
I had a chuckle on Sunday when my hubby came through to the kitchen to say he had just spotted Katie Morag on the tv and knew who it was as she looked just like my little dolly!!!!  (And I thought he didn't take much notice of all my crafty activities!!)

Well that's it for this week.
Thanks to all those who pop in and leave lovely messages.
I will try and visit a few more WOYWW desks this week.

Have a crafty week.
