It’s been a busy old summer ..I’m trying something new in the autumn
So sorting out my work room and selling off some of my stuff
These girls are 100% staying
Heat waves ! Poor Paul got food poisoning , he was so Ill , I spent days dashing from Drs to the chemist ..to Sainsburys to get him Lucazaid as he couldn’t keep anything in or down
After 5 days I was feeling shattered …the heat , the worry ..then ..oh deep joy …I started to cough and ache ..yup I had picked up Covid …
After 3 days Paul tested positive too ..
So fed up …still it’s behind us now …we’re both on the mend
Amd I’m catching up with orders …and I treated myself ..a bear for me
Lisa Pays amazing Pooh Bear Masterclass…it’s amazing , it’s really giving me the confidence to make bigger bears and use my airbrush and I’m loving him ! I’ve had this mohair for years …I’m so pleased I finally had the chance to use it
Another heatwave has hit us …and I haven’t finished him as my air gun kept drying too fast and blocking up , but he is almost done and I love him to bits x
But I am enjoying my tiny shoe making
So I decided to start this ….
The first jumper I started , I got to the armholes … and frogged it
Way too small , I think I will try it again but with thicker yarn
This one looks beautiful and so far so good … I’m
Loving the yarn and the pattern
I’ve been totally out of whack since my hols …I really want to make things with my glass , but have several projects in the way before I can do this
I need to sort out my work room ..a lot of dolls to be sold off too
Lots of work to be done …doesn’t help that my hip has decided to give up the ghost …I’m in a lot of pain ..again and it’s affecting my mobility …still I’m still getting things done …slowly
Hospital contacted me …x rays Monday to find out what’s going on with my swanky new hips
And I settled down to sewing .. I don’t normally make fabric shoes …I’m not comfortable making them but the brief is a fabric shoe to go with an oriental outfit …so I did
I used Lisa Pays Pinocchio shoe and resized it , ..perfect ..I’m quite pleased with it
…so Saturday Paul took me to Stratford where I was attending a silversmith workshop …very nervous ..but I thoroughly enjoyed myself
I’m dead exited about this new venture , I really am …Pauls being fully supportive and encouraging
I’ve got a workroom to sort out and tools to purchase..but yeah I think I’m going to go for it !
SleepingElf Silver has a ring to it
Had a wonderful holiday and I’ve come home inspired ..a few lbs heavier …food was great , fabulous guesthouse …I’ve come home ..with a load of orders to make up amd post ….and a load of ideas …but that’s another story
I really wanted a large tote bag , so I could throw my holiday/art journal in , my pinch of nom diary ,and my crochet / knitting ..and my water bottle , paints , Lippy , perfume , pens , phone …glasses and the kitchen sink …so I made one !
Although I have sewn miniatures for many years ..I’ve not actually sewn anything on a large scale
Really quite pleased with myself ..I saw the tutorial on you tube and just followed it
My dads old jeans , my only jeans …my old dinning room curtains , which I loved , to line
My grab it , and everything is in it bag 💙💙💙
This little beaut of a pattern is free on Pay it Forward on YouTube
I switched it from felt to Sherpa and I loved making her x
It would make a lovely Sooty pattern x
Sometimes Facebook throws up a gem , this gorgeous bedding was one , washable self coloured 4.5 tog quilt from Fine bedding it feels gorgeous, looks beautiful
And my lovely Sweet Summer by Sweetpea family crochet
Emu yarns
But I’ve been waiting weeks To put it on the bed and I love it
And I’m wonderful who or what to do next
I can’t wait to get my airbrush going again
I really want to do a denim bear , airbrushed, dresses , I’m loving the frills and lace
I also want to do the Boston Terrier and a doll
I’m so pleased after all these years I’m happy making large bears and clothes and airbrushing ! And crochet !
And I can read patterns .. I’m so happy ! LOL
