pirates and mermaids

The party loot bags are coming along. I always feel inadequate, so last minute, I decided to make some pirates and mermaids!

The mermaids were from Disney crafts
These are the first ones I made. I changed it up a bit for the rest.

Although there are many steps to complete them, the paint dries quickly so you don't have to wait in between steps.

My favorite is the bandana on the pirate. The pirate is my idea.

They are pirates with heart.

But sometimes..... they have to walk the plank!


have a good one!

invasion of the peggies!

THese guys have been steady companions over the summer.

And are most fun to set up...

A motley crew of pirates, gnomes, fairies, elves, santas

all coming together for a morning meeting.

some with hats, some without.

A few of them escaped!!!!! and were hiding in the garden.

Almost lifelike!

With limbs and all. And gardening tools to boot.

Oh the excitement of it all! He can't believe his eyes!


Bom Dia,
Amanda

did someone say pirates?

I decided that making bendy pirate dolls for the eye patches was too time consuming. So I made pirates from the wooden doll pegs.


Some are in progress. Here they sit with their neighbours.

Notice the pirate on the left is snuggled in his patch lower. I had to make it a little longer to fit the pegs.


Daughter wanted a picture of the patch around her neck...


And a picture of her tights. :}


Thanks for looking,
Amanda

In the land of bendy dolls, the pirates have taken over!

Pirate bendy doll can be found here at
Princess Nimble Thimble


As I can't make a pirate play set in the lines of the mermaid set at the moment, I made a wearable pouch in the lines of
gnome in a leaf pouch


But my favorite part is that the pouch can be an eyepatch!!
Clever husband of mine suggested it. There are a few boys around here, so I'm doing an assembly line of pirates.
Look out matey! There may be a pirate attack shortly!

ARRRGGH

Have a good one,
Amanda
