My creative space...


Each week I'm enjoying participating in kootoyoo's Creative Spaces. There are some truly beautiful spaces and creations happening around the place, and I enjoy checking out Kirsty's favourite space each week too.

As for mine... well, it's all a bit ugly really. As per my last post, I'm currently occupied with making more Swineys for my beloved's work colleagues. So the above bits and bobs are waiting to become this little swine 'flu softie:



Thank you for the kind comments about Swiney and the suggestion that I sell him (?!!) - but I think the Swiney craze would be very short-lived, and let's face it, he's on the ugly side! And he's a little fiddly to make, even if it's all good therapeutic crafting. So I'm just doing a small run and giving them to medical and micro nerds...


If you desperately want one for the medical nerd in your life, I'll make a little tutorial and stick it up. It would be a good project for anyone who is quarantined!!
PS no hearts in my space so don't go mad for looking :-)

  5. Swineys! That's so cute... in a virus kind of way. Glad you told me not to start looking for the heart, it would've driven me crazy!

  6. Your H1N1 is brilliant. You know Gina, if you were willing to sell, I will BUY! My dad is on the Influenza Specialist Group. I think he would LOVE one!

  7. Oh come on, they'd sell like hotcakes - you could flog them outside a major Melbourne sporting event or even the domestic departures at Tullamarine airport. No?

  9. Your swineys are hilarious - the medical geeks must love you. I'm so glad you admitted there wasn't a heart in your pictures, you could have teased us for a while and pretended there was one. I really was tormented as a child, wasn't it?!
