Lots of presents made.

Hi everyone, thanks for all of the get well soon wishes. the horrible cold is on its way out, which is a very good thing...obviously.

Ive been busy making up presents here, march is a bit busy, its my sisters birthday and mothers day (so that's two presents there.) i was almost finished but went back a square because i wasn't happy with my mums brooch soooo i made this one which i am happier with.Hope its not too wintery...

Then it was onto Rachel's (my younger sisters) birthday presents,shes going to be 19 soon...makes me feel old!!! Red is her favorite colour so i made a few bits with that in mind...

That's about all Ive had time for this weekend. One of the ladies who brought some dust bunnies from stuffed nonsense LOVED them and ordered 6 more so i finished off them...AND to top the stuffed nonsense business off someone brought Colin as well. BYE BYE Colin!!

StuffedNonsense is going really well at the moment. its great to work with someone else, on the sewing nights me and el have its not like work we just chat and make cool looking monsters.

Well, that's all for this weekend...Ive got to go and register more dust bunnies on folksy PHEW!!

Take Care M'Dears.

Yummy Finds in the Ol' Charity shop

Hello everyone, Ive been busy the last few days and it hasn't helped having a horrible snuffly scratchy cold which makes my head feel all fat and hot....eurgh....Arth has it too. I'm going to paint red crosses on the windows tomorrow!!

I went for a wonder around the charity shops today and came out with these lovely little finds...

I LOVE this little owl...especially the colour and the little bemused look on his face. i got the mugs because we have two which are are very close to giving up!!!

It was a late night for me and el yesterday...we had to post an awful lot of stuffed nonsense orders out....well when i say awful lot i mean 3...which is quite a lot really!!! if anyone doesn't know, stuffed nonsense monsters come with their own unique story and hand drawn picture...

for example...

Here they are all waiting to be wrapped and sent to the post office...Right...Ive got work in a bit...another late night tonight, theres a staff preview for The Watchman...i hope its worth staying up for!!

Take Care M'Dears

I had to share this, even if it is two in one day...

Me again...i just found this on the Internet and i had to post to let you guys know about it. one of my favorite, if not number one favorite, author is Neil Gaiman. whilst perusing the Internet i found this....its Neil Gaiman reading one of his up and coming books. if you go here you can read him talking about why he wrote it and also who for...Tori Amos!

i love the bit in the video when the birds all fly across the screen.

anyways hope you like

Look at this little monster...

Hello everyone, hope your week got off to a good start...

Today Arth and I went to Pittville Park to look at the animals and flowers (there's a cute little cafe there too and we had hoped to go there but it was closed.) It was lovely, I'm glad we went when we did because it clouded over a little bit once we got home.

i spent a fair bit of today emailing people about advertising the craft fair and stuff, i felt like a proper business lady...I'm not sure i liked it.

After all of the serious stuff i made this little fella for stuffed nonsense... i introduce to you...

Martin the Angry Monster...

He has a big tail on his back but the picture of that came out pants so i haven't put it up. As you can probably see he is an angry little fella, this is because he has short arms and cant reach anything...so really he is more frustrated then angry. He likes to sit outside a cafe and enjoy a nice cream tea....as long as someone can pour the tea for him (his arms ya'see they aren't big enough to hold the pot!)

I'm not going to putting too much up for sale at the mo....I'm trying to build the stock up for the fair in April. I'm worried I'm going to leave my stall til last minute because I'm organising everyone elses!!

Right, I'm off to put dinner in the oven...pork casserole...yummy yummy

A seasonal visitor is on its way....

We went for a little walk today with our pals. we went to a great cafe on bath road called the curious cafe and had tea. There were soo many pretty things to see.
Spring is definitely on the way....

I love crocuses.

At our flat there are even more signs of spring...we planted these about 2 weeks ago....

Its funny...Ive been checking the pots ,for signs of life, on our windowsill religiously for the past week and nothing, i forget today and when we get back from our walk BANG! there they are. perhaps they are shy seeds?? They are from a meadow mix so there could be anything in there!! We're going to plant a some more seeds tomorrow too.

Lastly, we went for a wonder around the charity shops yesterday and Arth brought me this!!! its sat on top of my fabric cabinet and Ive put all of my 'on going' projects in it (or WIP'S??) Its made from wood and a straw type thing...

Right...well you know I'm going to say it....yep that's right....i have to go to work in a bit so I'm going to sign off for now

I'll be back tomorrow!! (day off!!!)

The gig last night was much fun, after the bands had finished we went to an awesome bar called font. it had the most amazing decorations inside..the wall by above the bar was covered in decoupaged black and white butterflies!! It looked lovely!! i couldn't take any pictures because my camera was being rubbish bad.

What i really wanted to post about was to tell you guys that Ive opened up a blog for the craft fair it is www.lovelylittlecheltenhamcraftfair.blogspot.com .
