A Needle, a Donkey and Me

I'd like to start by saying thank you to those of you who commented on my sewing post - the feedback was really useful in planning future projects. Although I would really love to work more on making a bag - ah, who am I kidding... I mean lots of bags, and purses, yes, purses - I sadly don't have enough fabric at the moment to go down that road. I'd like to get some really interesting fabric - like this and this (in fact, if you have deep pockets, a penchant for looking at fabrics, and a few hours to spare, you have to check out the whole of this site!) - but I really prefer to visit fabric shops and actually feel before I buy. I've yet to find the good ones here in Brussels, but to be truthful I haven't looked far beyond Ikea.

Despite the lack of bag fabric, I did pick up the needle again, albeit a giant child's needle because it came with the kit (yes, a child's kit), and made myself a little guard for my craft space. He's almost as cute as our doggie.

I call him Rasta Donkey. There was even more mane and tail in the kit, but he was starting to look silly. I think they were trying to compensate for the insufficient amount of stuffing - he's a bit too... relaxed.
Thanks for looking, and don't forget about my little giveaway in the post below. If you'd like to be in with a chance of winning the free stuff, leave me a comment as per the instructions at the end of the post. I'm off now to try to get Rasta Donkey on his feet.
