Eagle eyed Julia spotted the Duck invasion on my desk on Wednesday. I was making one for someone who is becoming a very dear friend to me and just wanted to show her. I also added the 'believe' heart as this is what she needs to do in herself and realise that other people are not just being nice but do actually believe in her and her creations.
I can only show you two of the other four duckies as I was getting close on time and sent two to their new home before I took a piccie. They were all heart themed Love Duckies. Two were for Debbie's charity crop in aid of the St Peters Hospice in her area and they were the two I didn't photo.
These two are for LissyLou who is doing a charity craft sale for the British Heart Foundation. Take a look if you think you can send something heart themed - her sale is on the 26th February so still plenty of time to post.
I've never had five duckies all in progress at once. It was fun in a slightly stressful way... only because I was using different duckies than I usually use, they are a lot lighter and didn't take the paint so well. So there was me running out of time for Debbie's and having to apply 3 extra coats of paint than I normally would which meant 3 extra days of drying. Aargh! I prefer the weight of the other ducks I use but do like the shape of these ones. I'll have to see if I can make them a bit heavier somehow.
Mother Duck said QUACK, QUACK, QUACK and no little duckies came swimming back...
I hope they are all happy in their new homes *g*
Thanks as always for stopping by.
