March I have had my head down ❤️

 Commissions this month ..which I’m really pleased about ..none Etsy sales 

I suppose I should think of stocking my shop up …but I’m so happy making up orders right now 

I have so much I want to do on my todo list …and not enough hours 

Frida , Frida and Diego ..have gone out …I finished Gracie’s blanket …and 3 custom size boots and shoes with a Cardie …I was really pleased with those as I made them from measurements..And I made a tiny Bunny called Monty to go with Furgal the Ferret …Paul was blown away …he’s never seen anything this tiny jointed …I think I want  to make a bear next

Gither .. ❤️

 I started Gither as I waited for my threads to arrive , using 0.75 hook and cotton I had in my stash , she’s taken me a week to do , very hard on my hands as she is a little larger than I would normally like , I soon realised I wanted to paint a box for her to live in ❤️ which gave me a perfect excuse for me to try out the paints I had for Christmas 

I’m so pleased with the results 

Pattern by Gwillami
