Had a wonderful day yesterday in my work room
Where I made Hitty and Matilda’s outfit ..Pauls off fishing today
I was up at 5.30 setting up my yogurt …
And I will be returning to my workroom today …tiny boots to finish and more work on Matilda Amd a beautiful dress to make for a Teddy on order …❤️
New Masterclass on Lisa Pay blew my mind …I’m really looking forward to making those boots !
I did a little work on a bear and my goat today
And also did this …Gorgeous!
I really wanted to have a go at making my own yogurt …so I have and it’s bloody lovely
I swatted up on a couple of blogs
hardest part was finding the yogurt function !
Turn the unit on , turn stop start dial to
Select Yogurt / dehydration…
then turn the stop start dial to select yogurt function , press TEMP AND TURN DISL TO SELECT YOGURT
Add the milk ..I used 2 litres
Use the pressure cooker lid with the vent open
Let it boil …the unit displays “biol” it it will pip when it’s done
Then it will switch to cool
Leave it to cool …this took mine unit about 2 1/2 hours …just leave it ..don’t be tempted to skip this
The unit pips …stir and whisk
In 2 tablespoons of any live yogurt
( I tipped it out and added it to a mixing bowl as I didn’t want to scratch my Ninja with the whisk )
Add it back to the Ninja ..close the lid …and press start again ,and it counts down from 8 hours
Mine came out perfect after 8 hours
Beautiful thick and creamy ..I wanted to try Greek ..so I strained it overnight…it’s like cream now ..it’s amazing
I will be doing it again
I’m multi tasking
Working on a couple of bears , a goat
And “ A real Boy “
I reduced the masterclass Pinocchio
So far so good …
Made in felt , stuffed with kapok , he fees divine
Can’t wait to do his body x
I have the urge to call him Charlie
When he is done he will be for sale x
Finishing planting the garden
Pierre the Panda ❤️

Violet was born …she is an Easter Gift for my friends grandchildren ..I’ve made a couple of the little blankie bunnies for the babies too
Despite working on 2 cardies and 2 jumpers

Now in my Etsy store ❤️ Excited to share this item from my #etsy shop: Pinocchio art doll https://etsy.me/3CSobIV
I’ve got no strings
To hold me down
…I’ve loved every moment making up Pinocchio
Made little red shoes … just because LOL
It’s taken me months … ok I have made several throws shawls and other projects in between
It’s taken me almost a week just to do the boarder … but I love it , just in time for the spring
Pattern by
Sue Rawlinson , SweetPeaFamily Crochet
Sweet Summer blanket ..
I made it bigger to fit my bed , and added an extra Dow of bobbles in the boarder
Wool was Emu Bird of paradise collection ( I believe )
She’s finished …for my Grandaughter ..I am thinking of making a couple for my shop , if I can find a nice plush ..or mohair ..I love plush this size as they are made to cuddle
And we all need one of those especially in these stressful days
Check out Lisa Pay on YouTube for her free Cuddlebear pattern ❤️
I removed myself from the news today …and took myself to my happy Place and have thoroughly enjoyed myself …finished up Humpty who is for sale …2 bears have homes ..Pinocchio I have to wait for some things to arrive before I can finish him ❤️
I taught teddy bear classes for years ..I always used to say , when you go on courses you can tell how good they are or how bad by what they leave out ..that little secret that makes the designs work …that makes what your making ,look like the designers version
Lisa shares it all in her Masterclass
I have already learnt a tremendous amount
I’m well impressed I’m making this boy ..and the terrier ..and I really think I want a goat LOL …I’ve always had a thing for goats
Well worth the £8.00 a month
https://www.patreon.com/Lisa_Pay
And it’s sparked my creativity ..I’ve a.ways wanted to make a felt doll …I can see someone special being,ade for my shop over the coming weeks ❤️
I spent most of the day on my projects , a blue cuddle bear that’s an order and my Pinocchio
Lisa’s pattern is an absolute joy to to . So far I’ve not put a foot wrong and I’m loving it
Already planning a “ real boy to
Go with him
I’m thoroughly enjoying doing him
He’s sat on my work bench and I swear head smiling
The news is just gut wrenching to watch
A Ukrainian Facebook users shared images this morning , I sobbed
I bought some patterns last night of a Ukrainian artist who has escaped with her children to Poland .. so glad she has made it to safety , I can only imagine what it must be like to leave everyone and everything you love behind
So go to Etsy and buy PDF files from Ukrainian right now it may be their only income
So I escaped the news today and played in the kitchen
So exited about this x
Prep’ing patterns
I always either cut my patterns out on plastic or card so as I can keep,and reuse them
I print them off and use a decoupage medium to glue them to card and stiffen them
It takes ages , but it’s worth it 💗
Another lovely bear using Lisa Paye pattern
This one is for Little Elliot who is 3 this week ❤️
I love These girls with the coloured hair and tanned skin tone
Really wish someone would bring back Pippa now 💗
