Theres more than one of us!!

I found this in the new toy shop up the road and just had to buy it!!!! Haven't played it yet but it looks fab, i think the badger has to pack his suitcase quickly, not sure really but I couldn't resist! I have recently done plenty craft, mostly for a wee halloween gathering on Saturday, made a cute wizard outfit for Stan ( Wilf came along as prop owl! ) and a nifty cat for me (I was a witch not very imaginative but hey ho! ) Though in the frenzy of steam from the sewing machine I forgot to take a photo of the cat. It was a fun doo and fireworks too!!
Thanks loads for peoples lovely comments about wilf, very sweet!

Meet Wilf

Here's wilf, a wee owl, I made him last night from a pattern that I made up,(well loosely termed pattern!?!? ) As you can see he looks alittle bit .... well he'a got quite a big head really. Next one I do I will try to make shorter and fatter, well abit more owly really, hey ho I tried and I wanted to make something from start to finish last night, he only took an hour so not bad really just need to get his proportions right!?! Ahh but can you see the lovely chillis I have growing on the windowsill, really gorgeous yellow colour and hot hot too!!

Owls are IN!

I reckon ows are well and truly in at the mo!! They are so fab and aaahhhh also kinda halloweeney?!?!? Here's a wee card I made yesterday. After a bit of a tidy of the ole craft supplies, I should be able to find most things?!?!? Bring on the craftiness......

A new bag

Here's a bag I have just finished, i have made it for a friend of a friend, she asked me ages ago to make it, not sure why it took me so long to get round to it really but I got there in the end.

I really should remember to take photos in the daylight! The weekend was a good'un!! went on a lovely walk, to a 1st birthday party and to the allotment! It all looks abit bare up there at the mo, though we have recently taken on another plot for fruit plants and bushes. This plot is really overgrown so I was up there at the weekend hacking down brambles and now I ache almost everywhere, so time for feet up infront of telly I reckon!!

No piccies my craft from school!

I must admint there has been abit of a crafty lullhere at the mo! Well I am finishing a bag for a friend of a friend and am not really sure why it is taking so long but I shall get there hopefully tonight, well if not tonight defo before the weekend! In the meantime as my as my mum and dad continue the clear out of their loft so the filling up of ours continues! Last bag cantained some of my old sewing things that I had made, brilliant:-

Huurmm seems like Blogger is having trouble loading my 70's pictures, hey ho I shall try again later. yep blogger is not playing. I shall try later, oh no now I'm building it up and you may be disappointed, eeek!

Swapathon!!

I came home after a long walk across town this morning to spot a very exciting looking parcel under the door mat!! I did a swap with from Leesa at littlemunki. I was so excited to see it on the doorstep I couldn't drag the buggie through the front door quick enough!
And when I opened it, wow, I was soooooo excited!!! take a look at all this bounty!!!!

Gorgeous green fabric and such a cool tag!

WOWSA!! Look at that!!!! that's henry, he's gorgeous!!! How did Lessa know I am totally obsessed with dogs ( not in a wierd way mind, I just really really want one!!!! ) Henry is soopa cool! What else was there, 3 pieces of lovely fabric I shall get planing something for them ( I reckon Stan will like the cars one! ), a really cute felt pincushion with two matching pins, some really cool magnets on the fridge they shall go!

Here's a close up of Henry, he's such a happy puppy, hope he won't mind being sent to the chilly autumnal UK!

Some totally delicious buttons! I have recently been going on to anyone who would listen about buttons and that I have about 5, now I have 15!!! Yippeee! Love the triangle one, it's cool and the cream one looks like a sweet!

Here's the pincushion and there's two magnets at the top of the picce and then I'm afraid my camera stoped wanting to play. Thank you so much Leesa I really have enjoyed my first swap! All the bits and bobs you sent are just brilliant. Thanks again! This blogging lark is great isn't it!! ;)

Twit Twooo two!

( sorry about the title I just couldn't help myself! ) It's a bit of a rubbish photo ( again! ) but here's another wee owl, and he is very wee about 3cms tall! I'm either going to sew him onto a purse or onto one of stan's jumpers!!

I can't help doodle!

This weekend me and my sis started a course to become swimming teachers!! It's quite full on and is two whole weekends worth of swimming fun!! Lectures I am pleased to see still seem to make me doodle! ( though I was listening honest! )
The rabbit/bear hybrid in the middle is abit wierd, but I like badger and bunny!

Crazy squid!

This piccie was in the paper magazine suppliment the other weekend, I had to keep it and have shown everyone who has come into the house ( yep everyone!! ) It's bonkers and it's real !!! Looks like something from a dodgy 50's B movie!
It's from a book called 'Extreme nature' by Mark Carwardine. In the mag it says that it has the biggest eye and 'it can light up it's surroundings by literally glowing' !!!! Ahhhhh! How bonkers is that. This one was caught in the Ross Sea, Antarctica at 150kgs and 5.4m and this one is a baby apparently they grow to 15m!!!! That eye is the scariest thing, imagine seeing that whilst going for a paddle!! Thankfully I don't think any have been sighted off the east anglian coast, phew.
Might be some inspiratin for this month's month of Softies!!!

Owls aplenty!!

At the weekend we went to the bird of prey centre nesr here! I had adopted Steve a Tawny Owl for his B'day ( due to the fantasic saving of one on his way to work, horrah!! ) It was soooo brilliant, a really lovely chilly yet sunny autumn day, they where all teathered and in aviarys but at certain times they flew the birds. Luckily enough we were there when they flew the owls, there's just something about owls, so gorgeous! The photos above are from when they flew, they were so close, we had to duck alot of the time!! Stan loved it, he was asleep when they started flying and woke up with a barn out right next to his buggie, how cool would that be!! He really loved it, watching them fly up and down, brilliant. I was so inspired, that evening I made an owl patch, which is kinda lucky as my cords have just gone through the knee, gggrrrrr.
And on a scarily early festive note, I made this santa type snow angely type thing!?!? I kinda like it, it is stuffed but is quite small, I might make another that can hang on the tree!!
