Lucy

I have a painting group on Yahoo that I’ve had for many years. Over the course of the years we’ve had several exchanges of kinds of things, the last one being this past Christmas.

There was one new member that joined early last year and she was in the swap. Unfortunately, the gift she says she sent to Australia has never arrived, and it was mailed the last week of November, here we are the last week of February. Since I have no proof she didn’t send it, and she has no proof she did (she can’t find the paperwork), a make up gift was in order.

I made this for the lady in Oz. This is Lucy. She’s a design by Cyndi Sieving, the original name of the pattern is Well Wishers. I think she’s adorable and quirky. I would keep her if it wasn’t for my friend needing a make up gift…lol

It was a Christmas exchange, so I used Christmas fabric for the body and legs, but I think she would be okay left out all year. The multi coloured ric rac trim is from my favourite eBay seller, Embellish the Thought. Always great trims and will search out things you might be looking for… ;o)
