Introducing Anouk…..

April 23, 2008 By Spoonful of Sugar - 26 Comments

….the Eskimo Girl. She is made of warm and snuggly polar fleece (perfect for arctic temperatures), quilting cotton and wool felt. She was fun to put together yesterday.

I was inspired by this sweet Eskimo print fabric that I purchased from Retro Mummy. I have used it to make another coloured pencil roll.

Sarah and I have been busy on some secret projects this week but we will have to wait to show you until after they have been gifted in a few weeks time. Here are some sneak peaks…..

The school holidays are going way too fast and we have been kept busy catching up with friends and family, and taking time to relax at home without the usual hectic schedule of school, work, and activities. Bliss!!! Sarah and I have been spending time each day curled up on the couch watching Season 7 of the Gilmore Girls (we are big fans and have been eagerly waiting for this latest season to be released on DVD).

    She is so lovely and so are the pencil rolls. Where did you get your spoonful of sugar ribbon tags? They look great!

    I love the eskimo fabric. Pencil rolls really are fabulous aren’t they? My kids really love theirs & best of all the pencils are always put away instead of left on the floor.
