Carving a Hitty - Part Four

I've managed to do a bit more work on my Hitty

Now it is getting to the tricky stage...more fine tuning needed which I'm definitely not so confident in doing.

Still a little at a time will do it.

Cyber Saturday Bag-A-Long

Cyber Saturday on a Sunday - I made this lovely little book bag for Hitty Patience who enjoys going to the library.

Fun little project, I can see more of the Hitty Girls at Rose Cottage wanting one of these!

Off she goes.

A dress for Hitty Joyful

I really don't know where the time has gone the last couple of weeks, I am behind on reading the latest HittyGirls news and everything.  Hoping to try and catch up a bit this evening.  

I did manage to do a little sewing today and made a dress for Hitty Joyful.

She said it was just right to go for a walk in the garden and it also goes with her hat which she loves so much.

Hitty Joful plays Thumbelina

Hitty Joyful is having a turn this month at the Hitty Girls Fairy Tale Competition.  She is playing Thumbelina and has just met the toad, little realising his intentions....such a sweet little innocent girl she is.

Carving a Hitty - Part Three

Hitty Patience made a passing comment today that she wondered how the wood carving was coming along.  

Hint taken!

The difficult part, shaping the head and body.

Sometimes more comes off than you want or expected!  So some fine tuning is required.

Starting to take shape.

I don't think Hitty Patience is quite convinced yet that this is going to become another member of the Hitty family at Rose Cottage.  We shall see....

Hansel & Gretal and a little PIF Gift.

Hitty Joy and Hitty Carol Faith wanted to enter in for the Fairy Tale Photo Contest this month which was a scene from Hansel and Gretal.  Sadly their person didn't have enough time to make a Gretal outfit for them so they asked Ernest if he would step in to play the role.  He readily agreed, even if he was a little big.  Fortunately the witch (played by Hitty Carol Faith with her super dooper magical powers was able to overcome him and grab hold of him.  Gretal (played by Hitty Joy) was horrified.  Oh no, what is to become of them?

A little while later when things had calmed down somewhat, all the Hitty girls got together to admire the lovely pendant PIF they got sent from Denise in the US for taking part in the 'we didn't get to go to the Hitty Fun Weekend' photo fun.

Hitty Carol Faith has donned her pretty bonnet that also finally arrived after an amazingly long trip.  It matches her dressed and was missed when she packed to come here.  Fortunately Wanda noticed that Hitty Carol Faith had left it behind and sent it on.  Anyway they are admiring the beautiful little Hitty pendant cleverly made from a tile.

They have asked if they can hang it on the wall.  Why not our person agreed.

So from all of us here at Hitty Cottage, thank you very much Denise.

Carving a Hitty - Part Two

Yesterday some carving was done on the arms...

This is what they started out like.

I think our person found the arms very difficult indeed...

There were rather a few huffs and puffs and an 'Oh No!' at one stage...we decided it was probably better to be well clear of the action.

Still I think arms are indeed taking shape, although of course a lot more work needs to be done on them.

At a stretch of the imagination, these could be the beginnings of two arms.
