Couple more done (or, I'm rubbish at titles!)

Done the gnomes and a made a suprise for someone. That's something else off the list (although these haven't actually been on there for long).

Gnomes for Nephew

Made the gnomes for my nephew today. I've left the faces blank so my sister can put on what she likes.

I've also been setting up a MISI store today. Not sure whether that's being presumptuous of me, but if I don't give it a go I'll never know whether I can do it or not will I? Anyway, I'm waiting on a domain name, and hubby is going to help me elongate my picture for my shop (get me), then I'll be happy with it.

Look what arrived today

Actually the first thing didn't arrive in the post but I made it the other night.....another gnome. I love how the wool made the stripe on the rim of the hat.

The 2 things to arrive in the post was my Living Craft magazine - fantastic, and my Mum's plaque, which is fantastic as well but it should have been sent direct to my Nan's house so she can arrange fitting it with the parish clerk. Oh well. Since it came here, I've taken a couple of rubbings and a photograph. Now I just need to get it to my Nan's house.

Meet the newest members of the family

Here they are.....2 are destined for a new home.....arn't they gorgeous ;-). I also made another brooch. Very simple, but I like it.

I also changed the name of the blog. Shell's crafting didn't seem right - I'm no good picking things like that so when I first started the blog that was the only thing I could think off. The name had been bothering me for ages.......then this morning the new one just came to me.

I've been naughty again....

I just can't seem to help myself ;-). They are so gorgeous, how can anyone resist! I know, I know...I really must resist. Buttons and felt from the wonderful Altered Element (in my defence the buttons in the packs were in the sale, so they were a bargain, right). Then some lovely 100% wool felt for the brooches I want to make and for the kids to use. Then the corks arrived from the wonderful Claire from the GP forum. Thanks very much - right off to knit some gnomes.
