WOYWW.....

It's Wednesday again folks......where does the time go?

Jo and I have had a busy week sorting out our blog shop and would like to give the heads up to all our WOYWW friends that there are 4 goodie bags full [only 3 bags left now!] of Crafter's accessories up for grabs in the January sale.  We have cleared off all that was left on the Crafter's accessories shelf and made up four bags with goodies worth over £40.00 each and they are going on a first come first served basis for just £10.00 a bag!!!  Just click here to have a look and email either Jo or I and we will put your name on the one of your choosing.

 I have emptied all my wool rovings out onto my table today to have a good sort through and decide what colour my next Feltie will be so here's my mess in all it's glory .....

What a table full of yumminess.

I am really loving making my new range of Love Bugs and thought you would like to see them all sat together on my desk today....

You can see the latest addition that has been added after our Funday Monday afternoon on the right of the pic.  Her name is Love Bug Flutter and she has now joined the others in the blog shop.


The other photo I wanted to show you today is my one I am calling.....

 'the promise of things to come'

Everywhere I look in our garden there is new life.  There are bulbs shooting up everywhere and a lot of our shrubs are also shooting out little buds of life.  I love this time of year.  :-)

Thanks for calling by today.  If you would like to leave me a little hello comment I will do my best to pay you a return visit in between my sewing jobs today.
Hugs,

I'm on a roll....

I have had so many lovely comments about my Love Bugs....thank you to each and every one of you.  I have now finished number three.  

Meet Love Bug Buzby....

He was visiting a flower as I snapped him but was happy to pose for his photo.

Guess what I will be doing during Funday Monday?  :-)

Yes you are right....number four is already in the making.

That just leaves me to wish my big girl a very happy birthday.....she arrived at 5.15pm 29 years ago today and her Daddy had to miss Shrewsbury town playing in a cup match but trust me when I say she was well worth missing footy for.  Happy Birthday Shell.  Love you to bits. xxxx

And then there was two...

Meet Love Bug Lola...

She has a purple/mauve/green stripey body and pretty lime green spotty heart shaped wings and is now sitting on the Feltie shelf over in the blog shop with Love Bug Lucy.

I am really loving making my new designs and the next one is already nearing finishing so watch this space. 

The start of a new Valentine's Day range....

Meet Love Bug Lucy.  She has spotty heart shaped wings at the back and is sat on a felted leaf. 

She is the first of a new set of Felties over in the blog shop with Valentine's Day in mind....but I'm sure she would be loved as a gift at any time  :-)  

If you would like to adopt her email me at wipso@toucansurf.com or if you have something else you would like, I love a challenge, so just give me the details.

The first Friday smiles of 2013....

I hope to find you a few pics each week to make you smile and of course we have had lots of fun family times with all our 5 Grandchildren together over the festive season that have caused us to smile so I have put a few together as a collage to share with you.  You should be able to click on the pics to enlarge them for a closer look if you'd like to.

Here's to many more happy times together in 2013

Meet my Duck.....

I spent yesterday finishing off my latest friend and thought you might like to meet him.....and trust me when I say he has already caused a few smiles.

He is a performer's life size duck with a movable head for use by an entertainer.  I started to make him many years ago when I used to work with a magician [ in my past life :-) ] but for one reason or other he never got finished and when I sorted out my boxes of fabric earlier in the week I found him.  He is made using really gorgeous plush off white fur fabric and his beak, feet and legs are made in leather so look very real.  He was a work of art to design and make so really should be put to good use so I have now finished him and put him on ebay to sell.  If you're interested you can find more details here....

WOYWW....

Happy New Year to all my wonderful blogging friends who take the time to call in every week and leave such special comments.  I really hope we all have another brilliant year of shared crafty fun ahead of us.

I'm starting off my New Year with a good sort out of all my fabric boxes [not something I can do while Sewing by Annie's is open for business as you can imagine].

So today I'm showing you my mess!!!!

Not so messy eh?...you should have seen it 5 min later!  It's all sorted now and back up on the shelf.  

Yes folks, I really do have 3 huge boxes full of fur fabric [metres of the stuff] so if anyone has any brilliant ideas as to what I can make with it all I'd be thrilled to hear them.

I've had time for a bit of crafty fun playing with one of my Christmas presents.  I haven't done lino cutting since school days but it all came flooding back as I got started....I love the smell of the linseed as you make the cuts.  I still have to finish off the cutting before I ink it up but I'm sure you will see the results at some point.

I would also like to share with you this wonderful collection of goodies that I won over at Carol's blog.... Smile at the flowers.

Not a bad start to the year eh?  I really love the gorgeous x-stitched Christmas hanger and crocheted fingerless gloves that Carol has made.....Thank you for picking my name out. x

Well folks that's all from me for today apart from to repeat my Happy New Year wishes to one and all.  May it bring health and happiness to you all.

Don't forget to pop over to our new Facebook shop and 'like' us so you can keep an eye on our New Year makes.  It has been shut since before Christmas but we do hope to get going again with new ideas for 2013.

 

Hugs,

Happy New Year....

I just wanted to wish you all a very Happy New Year and thank you all for the wonderful love and special comments you have left on my blog over the last year.  It means so very much to me.

Hugs,
