I’ve decided I’m a serious dabbler when it comes to the creative world, although there are some things I keep coming back to, like making quilts. I do need to keep the interest up and I need a good reward for effort balance. I looked up the definition of “dabble”:
To undertake something superficially or without serious intent
Does that mean you can’t be a serious dabbler? For me there is often a lot of intent, but perhaps not the follow through once the novelty has worn off… Here is what I’ve been dabbling in today…
Giraffes: (I actually started them yesterday…)
Horses:
And headbands:
It’s my sister’s birthday this week, so I whipped up some headbands in some fabrics she saw and liked in my stash to go with her birthday present.
The animals are from a gorgeous book Sew Soft Toys (available here) which has amazingly life like patterns. In the past I’ve made them from wool felt and blanket stitched them, but I wanted to use some of the fabrics left over from my autumn quilt…
Anyway, off to bed I go now to dream of the dabbling I may do tomorrow… that is after the lunchboxes, dishes, washing, dishes, sweeping…
Happy stitching to you all…

Wow, those softies are so cute - my favourite would be the horses. I love the headbands you've made for Janet, she has great taste in fabric :)
Dabble away...
I want a day of dabbling too. Your animals are so cute. Love the head bands too. I have been meaning to make some of them. All looks great in a day work.
Oh, I am LOVING your horses! They are so sweet. Dabbling is fun, and if it maintains your interest and uses up some of your leftovers, all the better :)
Keep up the great dabbling , those toys are great .
Definitely dabble daily!
I'm loving your softies very much!
Oh all gorgeous work, I think creative souls have a special 'serious dabbling' gene not commonly known or contained in places of reference ; )
you're a star K, thanks sooo much
