Invasion of The Daleks!

I don't think this one is much good at exterminating things though. Naomi modelling the Dalek skirt I made her for Christmas. Fabric is, of course, from Spoonflower.
All I did was make a tube of the dalek fabris, and two slightly longer ones out of tulle (remember to leave 6" or so open at the top for getting in and out of it), tack them together then gather them into a waistband and add poppers for fastening. easy huh?
I made a Batman one for Eloise as well but she's taken it back to Leeds and I didn't get a picture before she went.

My New Year's resolutions such as they are, are to buy more shoes make more time for stitching, crafting and reading. (It wouldn't hurt to lose a few pounds either), I aim to try and do something creative, and to spend at least a few minutes reading, each day. Lets see if it makes any difference to how much I can achieve, last year I read 27 books and finished 73 assorted stitching, knitting, sewing and/or crafting projects (not including repeats and multiples).
I know, have a guess what 2013's totals will be and at the end of the year I'll give a little prize to the person who is closest!

Anyway in the spirit of these resolutions I bought some shoes made a little pretty to fill a bare spot where the Christmas decorations have come down. Want to see?

 Here you go. Backlash from Poetic Licence
Naomi says they are my "Joker" shoes. David hates them. I am at a total loss to understand why.
Green leather.
With tweed,
and purple ric rac,
and purple satin ribbon laces.
What's not to love?

Oh, you meant you wanted to see the pretty?  The little wooden bird came completely plain, like this one for the princely sum of 69p from Trago.

I just stuck on a load of buttons (a few are vintage, but mostly newer) and bows in shades of turquoise and apricot using good old PVA. Sweet and simple, (linked up to Think Pink Sunday at Flamingo Toes) haven't decided whether to do the same with the other one or hang on and make soemthing a bit more Eastery yet.
So, anyone else made any resolutions?
