Yuk, yuk and treble yuk

Well what a few months we have had!  Turns out I had not fully recovered from the illness at Christmas,  Robert took ill at beginning of February with a cold, cough and runny eyes, and I of course got it as well, and ended up being off my work for 3 days, and those that know me, know I will carry on rather than be in bed.  Had virtually no voice, really bad head, felt better on the Wednesday and by bedtime, earache had set in.  Not had earache for a very long time and boy was it sore.  Thankfully we both recovered well and even though I had not fully recovered until now. Little boy is still teething so by the time we go back to the dentist, he could have a full set of teeth in six months.

Getting Robert starting on the crafts early, here he is researching his next project! This is the Create and Craft Magazine and no sooner had I got it in my hand that son of mine nabbed it out of my hand and started reading it!

                           

                                   

These little bunnies are for sale in the shop! Comes with a bag of mini eggs.

I also made this fantastic owl pj case, pattern I found in Homemaker mag, and she is for sale in the shop too!

 

 

 Made the mistake of reformatting my hard drive and what a job! Did a stupid thing and not saved my bookmarks so lost all my fabulous sites that I had marked, silly person, just a good excuse to go looking at stuff now!

See you soon

Happy New Year 2014

Happy New Year 2014

Oh what a Christmas!  I was unfortunately unwell leading up to Christmas but thankfully managed to recover in time for the festivities.  Boy was I glad, little boy was spoilt by all the family and he enjoyed spending the day with some of his cousins. He managed to eat mash potato, gravy and turkey for his dinner. His birthday a week later was just as much fun! I baked a teddy bear for his birthday and decorated with some lemon icing and sprinkles. After singing happy birthday, he grabbed one of the paws, ate the icing, sprinkles and some of the cake and then threw it down and crawled away! Can’t believe I have a one year old!!!!

Two days later he started walking and boy in the space of the week he has got really good! I bought him a walking angel harness which shall come into play soon, and we go for his first shoes next week!!!

I have been busy on the sewing front, I subscribe to Sew and Stitch collection and one of the projects is this little cute monster tooth alien. I am very impressed in how he has turned out and is available to buy in the shop.  The felt for the face, plaster and pocket is placed using bondaweb and then hand sewed in place.  

 

I also managed to get hold of some fabulous fabrics from various sources and made some lovely crayon rolls, just love this print with cows and pigs on.

I just love this football material and the stripped inner.

The crayon rolls can be found in my shop.

I have also added more tea towel bags, these are in fantastic colours

I recently bought some lovely material from Plush Addict and then placed a second order for ripstop fabric, as I found a fabulous project on their blog. Will not let you see it just yet ;-)

Daddy making raindrops.....

Is what I can hear from my husband while giving Robert a bath!  We are now going through the teething stage in earnest. Having had two bottom teeth since he was 5 months the rest have now decided to make an appearance, cue one upset little boy

I am doing a craft fair in Carnousite at the end of November and beginning of December, hope if you are in the area you come along. Although I am not finding it easy to get stuff done, as a little boy keeps coming to join me when I start sewing!

I can now take payments via card over the phone, I have joined Worldpay Zinc. So if you mark your order pay by post, and then call me on either 01382 507703 or 07826583032, remember that I do still work full time but will be home after 6pm Monday to Friday.  At the weekend I will be around most of the time, if I do not answer, just leave a message and I will call you back.

I have been a bit busy on the craft front, my team leader at work left recently and I made the card along with a nappy cake for her.

 

I have also been making crayon rolls again, one for a friend on a facebook group; we had fun with it though.  It was posted to another friend to put in a box of goodies, but the package went missing enroute to this friend.  Several weeks later, I get home to a conversation with hubby (he had posted it through is work mail) when he went in that morning the package was sitting on a bench, it had rolled off the table after being franked and stayed hidden. So off it went to this friend who then had to post it on.  I was in the process of making another one, so used that for Robert’s playgroup coffee morning instead.

 

I am in the process of making more and making more tea towel bags, I have added waterproof lining material to the inside and they look fab.

I have also in the process of making more travels sets, and this time have added waterproof lining to the underside of the changing mat, making it more versatile. I hope in due course to get terry towelling. 

Need to go, son asleep so can do some sewing now!
