The Drunken Elf has arrived in Australia
This gorgeous cloth doll (christened the Drunken Elf by his creator) arrived in Australia late last week from Chris in the UK. We are part of a swap on Stitchin Fingers, so this week I finalised my own swap to Cindy in the USA and sent her in today's mail. I won't post a photo here till I hear she has arrived in Minnesota, so you'll have to wait a little longer to see my doll.
This photo is my rather feeble attempt to make the D. E. look like he's leaning against a gum tree in rural Australia, instead of in front of an original oil painting by the talented Werner Philipitch in my backyard, VBG. I'll never win awards for my air brush technique on Photostudio, that's for sure.
Well, this is the 155th post, and the last opportunity to go in the lucky draw I'm conducting for some of my stash to celebrate the 150th post on this blog. I'll enter all comments on this post in the draw as well as all previous ones from 150 till now.
I hope to conduct the draw on Thursday 11th December.

i just assumed that WAS your backyard - well done - id never had picked that painted backdrop in a million years. cute drunken elf - i reckon all the elves must get drunk - just to be able to pu up with all santas relentless jolliness.
Just stopping by to say Hi! and see what you have going on here.
Love the Dorothy doll!
I was hoping you would post a pic of my Dotee so I could get a sneak peek. I can hardly wait to get my grubby little hands on her or him.
