Feathers in a flap!!

wow what a mad month its been...ive been stressed, moody and had no time for crafting...but thats all over now :) till September :D which means i can get my craft on once again!!!
 i had a lovely surprise 2 weeks ago i won a competition ran by the lovely Handmade by H, and i was so pleased with my prizes seen below. in fact i was so impressed with the quality of my prizes i have ordered a cuff :) as soon as it arrives i will put up a pic :)

I have managed to make a few bits , i made a Budgie, which took about 2 hours to make and was very easy.

 i have also been knitting a Amish Doll, it's traditional not to put a face on the doll. this chap took me ages to knit he is about 14-16 inches tall. although he is great i don't think i would knit him again as i got bored and wished i hadn't started him :( i think he would be better if he was about 7 inches tall, personally..... so i spent ages knitting this chap only for my Dog to chew him up the day after i had finished him!!
tending to his 'erbs
 i also still have Queenie and her royal flush popping up every so often...bound to happen given that its soon to be jubilee time!

Queenie made by me & the loo made by alithealiencrochet



i have also made a few gnomes one of which is seen below, one has been called Norman and is going to hang around in a car as a career  :)

i have also made Lady Nibbles, she is to be joined by her Husband lord Nibbles very soon :)
and i also have just started a Knitted camper van for a customer, so hopefully that will be ready in a few weeks ;)

So as you can see i have been de-stressing with lots of small projects. id just like to give a few shout outs to some pages on face book and some blogs that i feel give that little bit extra.
Firstly we have lacewings a really lovely page for great crafting :)
pale moon creation for wonderful beads, & jewellery
and Creative-Knits whos a page after my own heart :)) and of course not forgetting where you can find me..... Crafty'z Corner
 i'm also on twitter singing blogger, however be warned i am not sane and often post some random rumblings!! as for other Blogs,why not pop over to wobblymouse.blogspot.co.uk  to see some amazing scarfs and other bits and bobs  and while your on a roll pop by and say Hi to green-dragonette.blogspot.  who's recipes are wonderful, funny how they both contain two of my favorite subjects!! lol.

  1. Thanks for the shout out, love Hamish he's so expressive even without a face, and the budgie is very cute. Our little mouse was a wonderful mascot this weekend at a craft fair and a little girl loved her. I gave her mum crafty'z corner details. so hopefully you'll get a commission :)
