January Micro Crochet

Very please with the results ❤️

I’ve opened up a Folksy store too just to see how it goes

https://folksy.com/shops/Sleepingelf

But listing them there too x I do love making the tiny version’s

I’m now working on a Pippi commission and Frieda … and hope to try a hobbit ❤️

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

On a Night Like this

Gither Ogg would be rather impressed I chose a night like this to create her , it almost felt like The RamTops

Last night , the wind howled , the rain lashed down , it was one of those nights it was good to be indoors , I was patiently waiting for my threads to arrive from Spicaartdoll, checking the tracking , Monday or Tuesday I thought , so as I waited , I fished out some of the other thread I had and as the wind howled around the hills I started “ Gither “ she s quite impressed I chose a night like this ..it suited her character , I chose much finer yarn than Gwiami’s pattern called for . But I’m loving the challenge . Then would you believe it , there was a knock on the door and I couldn’t believe my eyes Spicaartdoll ‘s delicious yarns arrived , beautifully packaged , which I will use in my art journal ..this is one New Year’s resolution I’m loving ❤️

Hello again

https://sleepingelf.etsy.com/

Can’t believe it’s been so long , this year has flown by , dramatic fall , lots of scans and hospital, amazing holiday in Norway , we have a grandson due in December , can’t wait for

Now Etsy … said through gritted teeth ,

Now taking funds to be released when the goods are shipped , as most my things are made to order , that’s a pain , so I have taken off everything that’s made to

order and only items instock are listed , mainly because of family commitments, I cannot keep up as I’m spending a lot of time in my home town over the coming weeks ,

I’m also sorting out dolls and bears … just stuff I have accumulated and will be listing that’s too , I’m having a real spring clean !

I’ve listed some today

In my Etsy store , link is above ❤️

I will try and add new shoes … but I’ve lots to do LOL x

But please contact me if you so need anything g

The Baron is home

The fall in January really has taken its toll

But although still wearing a splint I’m feeling better …I’m now waiting for a bone density scan on my left hip , that being the problem

In the meantime …I have finally finished The Baron …what a challenge ..almost 20 inches tall ..he certainly gave me a headache LOL …but I’m glad he’s done …and his owner is thrilled ❤️

And now for so,etching completely different ….and much smaller LOL

Update

Well this year is going at a snails pace , my recovery

I fell in January…I knew it was bad when I did it …after an evening in A&E …was relieved to find out , it’s not broken

So 4 weeks later I went to Physio ..she was mortified when she saw it …ordered not to walk on it excessively, the splint back on and she referred me

I also have to see the Dr about my knees and left hip , as I’m walking so bad , it was that that caused the fall ..and if I don’t find out why I’m in so much pain and walking so bad …I will fall again

Fast forward to April .. Trauma specialist saw me …I’m now going for an MRI

He suspects I’ve damaged 2 of the tendons and a ligament BUT how bad …we won’t know until we get the MRI results

And he can’t operate because of the Arthritis in my ankle and where it is , and my age ( WTF …I’m old ! ) my ankle will fuse ….ANOTHER Splint is now on for when I’m walking ..to stabilise my ankle

So it’s going to be a long recovery ! And I look like a Borg

It’s gonna look fab with shorts !
