Tina's signs

If any of you are interested in my new little business, this is the address of my Etsy store. In my younger days I was a ticket and show card painter for retail stores around Auckland. So I decided to resurrect the job I loved so much when I was younger. Now I have a balancing act to do between quilting and sign painting. It hasn't been easy! http://www.etsy.com/shop/tinassigns

Well it's about time I got back to my blog, so sorry for the long absence, have been getting a little business going and had some pressing family commitments to attend to. Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas with family. I enjoy preparing especially for two presents for my granddaughters. These rag dolls are characters in the E.J. Taylor story books that I used to read my daughters when they were young, and now they read them to their daughters. I found the patterns online so decided to make them for the girls for Christmas. Hope you enjoy them. I know I very much I enjoyed making them. Meet Ruby Buttons and Violet Pickles.
