What Happened to Monday?

It's Wednesday here in Australia and it just occured to me that I missed my Monday posting - oops - better late than never.

As promised today we have Belle - the princess featured in Beauty and the Beast.

Belle lives in a small provincial French town.  When her father a local inventor becomes lost in the woods and ends up imprisoned in the Beast's castle, Belle offers herself in his place.

The Beast is a Prince placed under a spell for being arrogant.  The two eventually fall in love and the spell is broken.

 The pattern for Belle can be found over at on the Disney Princesses  page.  You can also find there other princess patterns available for testing.

Sorry it's not Belle

First of all sorry for posting so late and secondly sorry to all those people waiting on Belle for this week.  I had a blonde moment and did Snow White for this week instead.  I promise Belle will be up next week and if I get time I will put her up earlier.

 

Snow White was the first full length Disney Princess movie and has stood the test of time collecting new fans everyday.  She has been recreated many times and in different forms most recently by Kristen Stewart in Snow White and the Huntsmen, but the cartoon version remians my favourite.  Hope you enjoy Snow White.  For thise who had enquired - I will be doing Rapunzel and Merida from Brave.

Patterns to be Tested

I have had a lot of requests lately for specific patterns and a lot of offers to help me test patterns.

Thanks to everyone who has offered but I have been so overwhelmed by life recently I have been unable to respond to you all.

Over the next week or so I will be posting patterns that are available for testing.

Todays offering is Simba as an adult from the Lion King.  Please feel free to test the pattern and get back to me.  The pattern can be found on the Lion King page of this blog.

Simba - Adult Version

Under the Sea

The Little Mermaid follows the age old dream of many little girls to grow up and marry a prince.  This in itself is a challenge for most girls let alone mermaids.  Ariel with the help of her friends Sebastian, Scuttle and Flounder eventually gets her man despite being double crossed along the way by a wicked sorceress.  Hope you enjoy Ariel.  The pattern can be found on the Disney Princesses page.  Coming next week Belle.

Are you feeling Sleepy?

Since the release of the Walt Disney movie in 1959 Sleeping Beauty has been a favourite among budding Princesses worldwide.

At the christening of Princess Aurora, 7 fairies are invited to be her godmothers.  The fairies gifts are beauty, wit, grace, dance, song  and the ability to play musical instruments.  Before the last fairy announces her gift an uninvited fairy called Maleficent offers her gift - the princess will prick her finger and die. The last fairy uses her gift  to partially reverse the wicked fairy's curse, proclaiming that Aurora will instead fall into a deep sleep for 100 years and be awoken by a king's son.

Despite her parents best attempts to protect her Aurora pricks her finger on her 16th birthday and falls into a deep sleep. Cue the Prince and the kiss and the happily ever after.

This is pattern three in the Disney Princesses series.  The pattern can be found on the Disney Princesses page.  Come back next week for Pattern 4 Arial.  

Halloween Blog Hop

Somehow I missed out on the last blog hop that one of my friends hosted recently so I was keen to participate in this one.

Being Australian Halloween is very small here compared to the USA.  However for some reason literally hundreds of kids come to our street every Halloween.  I boycotted last years festivities after my Jack O Lantern that I had lovingly  carved the year before was smashed by a disgruntled teenager after we ran out of candy.

The crowds have gotten so big that groups of my neighbours are now banding together to make getting the candy more of a challenge for the children and also so we don't feel so raped, pillaged and exhausted when it is all over.  The use of tents and sheets etc makes it more of a game and gives the local children more places to hide when they want to scare the trick or treaters.

So to my block.  I wanted to do something a bit scary and not too traditional.  It is called Frankie's Boy and is obviously Frankensteins monster.  I hope you enjoy.  For those who know me already - you know I love doing faces so I couldn't resist another one here.  Just click the link under the photo or go to movies tab on my home page.

For new visitors to my blog I am also doing a series of Disney Princesses (the next one will be out soon).  I have been away from my blog a bit lately as I was overseas in Hong Kong during my children's school holidays and on my first day back my cat was diagnosed with terminal cancer - so forgive if I have been a bit preoccupied.  It was a big shock and she doesn't have much time left.

If you are interested in becoming a pattern tester please message me as I am always looking for new people as I design much faster than I sew.
