Tiffany and her kitty at last she is finished ❤️

 So very please with how these have turned out ..

I honk she maybe my favourite so far , the pattern is Little Witch Mimi by MissGurumi 

And for the kitty I used Obscurely Small’s pattern both available on Etsy 

I love the shaping  for the little legs …I’m already planning Naughty Amelia Jane …one leg done 

But got side tracked by the new Jumper I’m knitting myself …I’ve never learnt colourwork …so I am now …although the warmer weather is coming …and I’m trying not too loose momentum 

At least the baby blankets and been finished …must save a picture here …and the baby’s bear 

So many ideas …so little time and I really have to finish little Alfie’s…although I’m not enjoying the pattern 

Sunny Sunday 🌞

 Didn’t get as much done on my journal as I planned this weekend …,but managed to do more on Baby Birds blanket …and got quite a bit on Tiffany , Paul worked on the bathroom ..I worked on Tiffany …it wasn’t until I was doing her head I realised I was using the wrong size hook , so she’s come a little larger than I planned ..but I had done to much to undo …so I tan with it …I have to admit I’m really happy with her …I’ve just got to do her hat , a little cauldron …and I have a feeling she needs a cat ! 

April so far …this blog should really be called diary of a woman that can’t stop making stuff

 New baby due in a few weeks so I’m trying to finish another blanket and a bear ! For him/her 

I’m thoroughly enjoying ..painting my little creations as I make them …so right now I have Amelia Jane ..Tiffany and Sam to make ! 

I really want a dot pebbles Winnie the Pooh! And I’ve started Tiffany …

I also can’t wait for   my yarn bowl to arrive …and I really want to start one of my stranded jumpers when these blankets are done 

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

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 ❤️

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 

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 ❤️
