EAT TOO MANY CUPCAKES AND THE TOOTH FAIRY VISITS YOU MORE OFTEN
Yesterday morning my daughters school was shut on safety grounds because of a gas leak, so around 10.30 I had to go pick her up. So with my days plans out of the window we sat down to make a few things with felt. It took her ages to de... Comment - Like

Cold, damp, foggy day today and the kids didn't want to venture out (and neither did I). So after much deliberation (searching through a few cookery books) my eldest decided to have a go at making puff pastry from scratch which in turn will then be made into Chocolate Palmier - looking forward to ta...

Here are the pictures as promised of the key holders that my youngest made the other weekend. She was so proud of them that she took them into school to show her teacher. I only had to do a few stitches to start her off and that was it... she was away sewing to her little hearts content. The ideas c... Comment - Like

No time today for making anything as I'm working. I need to nip into town before I start work to try and buy some calico as my youngest wants to try and make a doll this weekend. She started sewing a few felt bits a couple of weeks ago and made some key holders that turned out great (will remember t... Comment - Like

Eeek.... I made a card! Ok it was during the Christmas holidays and the kids wanted to do some crafting. So out came stamps, card, glue etc and we had a blast making stuff. I stamped loads of images so the kids could colour them in and my youngest made some little cards for her friends. I had had th... Comment - Like

Its such a cold, damp miserable Tuesday morning and I need to start getting ready to go to work soon (sad face). I've had such a lovely weekend with the kids and Anthony. We nipped up to Kirkby Lonsdale on Saturday for a bit of shopping and a pub lunch. When I say shopping, it doesn't mean one of th... Comment - Like

For starters I am still working for TESCO - not bad seeing I was only supposed to be there 8 weeks - its now been 6 months. Still on a temporary contract - they just keep extending it - and ... Comment - Like

Well not that much, but I couldn't help but make these two little hangers for crimbo.
I made the little Penguin on Monday and I managed to finish off the little snowman today (day off).
I got the shapes for them out of a book called 'CHRISTMAS THINGS TO STITCH & SEW' by Usborne Activities. I bough... Comment - Like

I'm so sorry for the long absence but I seem to have been doing lots of hours at work and everything has taken a back seat. I have sort of been told that I am going to be kept on until January then I will have to see if they are going to take me on permanently.
Hubby went back to work yesterday - ... Comment - Like

Just thought I would pop on to let you know I am still about - but not managing to make anything as I am working some serious hours (50 hours last week).
I am so missing not being able to get my crafting head on and getting covered in glue etc - but the free time I have is for catching up with the ... Comment - Like

And I just love him :) He is just 'sew' cute!

BROWN SHEEP
Introducing Ewan The Sheep
I finished him last night as I got a little bored with ironing etc. He didn't take long to make and I just love the blank expression on his face. Have to say my daughters want him but i have decided to keep him for myself :)
When I came to do his eyes, I didn... Comment - Like

Meet 'Barney The Owl'.
This little addition will probably be the last one this week as I have so much stuff to catch up on. I have been so engrossed in making these little critters that my housework has been sat on the back burner - so tomorrow I will be catching up big style!
