WOYWW....

Here we are at another catch up with all the crafty desks around the world that link up over at Julias....click on the link to find out more.

This week has seen me playing with more fleece and running a few more toys up for little Milly....

 Here she is now [photo taken Monday]....eyes are open now.  She is still not able to walk and drags herself around as yet....think she is struggling to get her fat tummy off the ground lol.

We are going to meet her in just over a week and a half....can't wait.

She now has a froggy toy.

A spider....she can chew, pull or just use it as a pillow.

A plaited chew / pull toy.

This got made to use up a spare bit of plaited fleece and we think it looks rather like a little handbag.  :-)

Just in case you think sewing is all I've been doing....we are still working on decorating our home and Monday saw us working together to tile the splash back in the new kitchen.....every time I walk into the room it makes me smile.  I really love the colours in the tiles and the wow factor they give you.

That's all from me for this week.  If you leave me a little comment I will do my best to pop over to yours to see what you've been up to this week.

WOYWW

Yes here we are at another Wednesday exposure of our crafty spaces.  I've had a busy week with customers sewing this week and in between I have been making toys in readiness for the new puppy Milly.  Shop bought ones can prove rather expensive and don't always last very long so I did some searching for toys that could be made safely for puppies.  Aparantly fleece is a safe material and I found a few ideas on Pinterest using fleece so I found the fleece I had in store and made a start...

As you can see I do have rather a lot of fleece in store but it's either green or black and white....I'm sure Milly wont mind.  :-)

I've used the fleece double so it takes a little longer to demolish and she now has her first cuddly toy.....I plan to make a little frog one too after all what else would I make with the green? :-)

I found a link to make fleece tug of war toys using knots.....they looked simple enough to make but you should have seen the knots I got into before I worked out how to do it. :-)  I'm sure she will have many happy hours pulling me around the kitchen with these.

The other thing I am sharing today is something I found a link to on Facebook.  I always rip the ball bands off yarn when I use them so if there is any left it just goes into my yarn stash.  At a later date I then struggle to remember what ply the yarn is to use again.  Here is a link to a useful page to show us how to tell what ply it is.  I wanted it stored on my blog for me but thought it might come in handy for others too.  :-)

That's all from me for today folks.  There are still some blogs I haven't manage to leave messages on and for that I'm sorry but I will keep trying my best.  

If you are wanting to swap ATCs with me for the WOYWW anniversary don't forget to please send me your details to wipso@toucansurf.com and I will add your name to my ATC swap post.

Have a great week.
