Look Mum… it’s me!
July 29, 2010
This morning I dashed out (well, as fast as a pregnant woman can dash… perhaps more of a waddle at speed?) to buy the Sydney Morning Herald. There’s an interview in the (Sydney) Magazine with me talking about my softies, crafting and babies. I was really quite nervous about it and, in hindsight, probably should have bribed the photographer more to get stuck in with the airbrushing but there I am. With all my beloved softies. In real print. A whole double page spread. Wow!
.
The gorgeous Kristen Doran and Alison Brookbanks are also in there. Go crafters!
Hello. My name is Claire. I have a sock toy addiction. It began two years ago when I was pregnant and nesting. At first I dismissed it. I hadn't sewn in years. "Craft Schmaft" I said. Well it seems this crafty thing is here to stay. This blog brings you the delights of making sock softies, fabric finds and crafty inspiration from round the interweb.

Yes, you and the other girl are great but ALISON BROOKBANKS-GREGORI …………….. UGH! All her work is taken directly from Japanese craftbooks and passed off as her own with no credit given to her source whatsoever!
