Promised Pictures and My Latest Adventure


I realised while I was playing with the new layout (do you like it?) that I'd not shown you my new kitchen cupboards or the flowers on the money tree plant, so here they are!   You'll have to excuse the bare walls...we're still decorating the kitchen.  Can you see the blue and red hearts on the counter top?  They were our christmas gift from our middle son :o).  He made them out of lego!   The flowers are a little past their best now, but you can still see how gorgeous they are.  They must like that window sill (or my neglect of them) as I asked my Nan about hers but she's never had one that flowered. 




These two bowls were made by a lovely friend.  They are just gorgeous.  She has only just discovered felting and is enjoying it so much, as you can tell. 


Now then, I thought I would share my lastest little adventure - I have stepped into the world of lego.  Yes..I have succumbed to the lego obsession in our house.  Although it has to be said, what better way to combine my love of Harry Potter and the boys love of lego than with Harry Potter Lego!!  So we have the Knight Bus and The Burrow.  I shall get back to the sewing now them ;o).

Catch-up



I seem to have been gone a few days!!! Only just beginning to feel 'normal' (if there is such a thing) after the new moon. I think it helps that my Dad is stuck in France (dog passport issues) so he's not always on my mind, so to speak. Anyway, the above is what I've been doing today - san pro pockets, needle case covers and a new pin cushion for me, all ready for my sewing machine day on Friday (hubby and the kids are going to see Toy Story 3 so I will have the house to myself).



The last few evenings I've been sat making some new keyrings. I wasn't sure what I wanted to put on them so I started by cutting out the rectangles then just went with what popped into my head!



Last week I went on a wet felting course - very good it was too. I made the above flower and three small balls. When I attempted balls at home I always ended up with a crack on it somewhere - well not anymore.


And, just because there is always a rainbow somewhere............

Swaps and cards


As it's the Spring Equinox/Ostara today it's the day for opening our GP season swap. This is what we sent to the lovely PixieMama - an appliqued springy picture and a finger-knitted then stitched nest with wet felted eggs (made by JJ and myself).




We also took part in a separate swap organised by Liz - this is what we sent. A cherry blossom fairy and a beeswax egg candle. I've received the gift from Liz but I'm unable to photograph it yet. We got a gorgeous felted bowl and a fabric seal/bird (embarrassingly some of us think its a seal and some of us think it's a bird). They are both beautiful.


Two more birthday cards (on the same theme as the last ones) for the remaining girly birthday's this month.
