A pressie for my Ma.

Here is what I have been a busy bee making. It's a kiddies book!! My mum wrote the story ages ago and gave it to me to do some illustrations. It was her birthday on Saturday and I wanted to finish them and make a little book. I am really pleased with it and really enjoyed doing it!! I am the first to admit I am not the best book maker in the world but as it's my first I can only get better. I'd love to illustrate childrens books. Stan and I went to the local library yesterday, I could stay there all day looking at the childrens books, though we had to leave due to a nappy change required! I'd love to hear what you think of my book!!

My B'day and 7 deadly sins!!

Well yesterday was my birthday!! 33 blimmyhow did that happen?!?!? Had a brill day lots of yummy food and a trip to the local museum, soopa! There was an emroidery exhibition there, some brill stuff, must pop back with the ole camera!
Also I have been a busy bee, made a pin cushion for my granny for her birthday ( and totally forgot to take a photo of it, bums! ) And made these Atcs for a 7 deadly sins swap!

I went for a bit of a gardening theme?! some are abit tenuous but I think they'll be okay?!?!? mixed scratchy type drawings with photos and bits drawn it the computer, I'll be interested in what you think of them ( and indeed if you can tell which one's which!! ) I have also been busy working on something else, bit of a biggy, should be finished by friday fingers crossed and with a fair wind that is.

Knitty knit knit!!

I have been a knitting!!

A jumper for Stan, so many boys clothes are blue or beige, both lovely colours but I wanted something well redder so I chose this wool. It's for a 3-4 year old so I have a while to get it done but I did have a big burst then b'day gift making popped up so my attention is elsewhere at the mo. Also slowing the progress are the calls and visits to and from my mum helping be decipher the pattern ( and correcting mistakes!!? )

Swap goodies!

Blimmy how long has it been since I posted on here!?!? Blummin ages! Well I have finally got round to posting the pictures of my swap goodies and here they are:-

A very cool bag made with vegetable print, love it and am using it as my knitting bag!!
A cool panda called Oliver!
Some coasters with images from the wwixard of Oz on them!!And a chunk of fabric with pandas on it!!

How lucky am I!! I got all this!! I found the swap on a site of UK crafters called craftermath and it was based on favourite things, it was really cool, I want to do more swapping, I want to do so much stuff but there's not enough hours, damn it!!
Ahh I have been knitting like a nit ( ha made me laugh! ) and I have done about 30cms of a jumper for Stan, I am making it 3-4 years in size, I didn't know how long it would take me ( he's 20 months so I have quite a while!! ) Will post pics tomorrow as I fogot to take a photo when the sun was out! Lovely weather here, cold but brilliant blue skys, lovely!!
