Long time no see!

 Well, 

I knew it was a long time since I was here last but Wow! 5 years!!!!!! How time flies when your really tired and you have a terrible phone habit! 

I'm still making, I'm as slow as usual. 

I'm hoping to give you all abit of a catch up of what I've made over that last 5 years (that all take all of 3 mins!!!) . 

For now here's some pictures that Tiny (not so small now) has been painting. They are done in acrylics with pastels and thread!

reindeeer

Hi,
 yet again i've have been doing very little.
I did make something - i even used my sewing machine. i wasn't sure if it would behave itself as i've ignored it for a couple of months but she was fine.

Tiny has claimed him!

Busy doing nothing

Hi all,
 much as the title says i've been busy doing nothing much!
its almost half way through september and i'm just about keeping up with everything but not managing much making :(

i say that but i have done some knitting -

Huge pile of knitted things

 this pile is destined to be christmas gifts so can't show you anymore of them!

At the weekend we went to the Birmingham University Community Day. I took Tiny last year, and took both of the smaller (only just) ones this year. 

Tinys plastercine dino

my lads dino

Rex eats the dino!

Baby Rex meets the Big Dino

 Oh yes, Tiny loved the big Dino!

In other news, having been back at school for about 2 days, i got the phone call - Tiny has (as you can see) cut her head open!

 Ended up having a trip to the hospital to get her glued togeather (i suggested to her that i could embroider her cut togeather with big flowers but she prefered the nurse doing it!) - she was very brave

 All this means that i haven't had much of a chance to visit In:Site this year - 
Its a crafty/creative thing for recent graduates that they have in Birmingham catheral grounds and have for the past several years. Heres a few quick pics i managed to get - hopeing to get a chance later to go see more.

TTFN!

forgetful

what ho,
 to be honest , at the moment i feel that i'd forget my head even if it was screwed on!
 I went to the festival of quilts not last week but the week before and have told you nothing!!!

well, i didn't take lots of pictures (Fail) but i did do a workshop - can't show you it though as i plan to give a friend of mine the piece that i made for christmas
 i did however do an extra mini workshop on one of the stands - for the life of me i can't remember which but i made this -

A little embroidary - it quite cute (though i say so myself!
This week i have been mostly mending a gasebo cover for a friend so she can use it for her birthday! (my life is so exciting)

Skate dress again

The last couple of skate dresses have been for other people so i decided that it was time to make a new one for Tiny -

Its an A-line skirt, very short but looks good on her -  (pattern )
yes i did make it Tardis blue - makes a nice change from pink!

Knitting

How do,
 I've been doing some knitting in the last couple of weeks. some of it i can't show you - its for presents and i don't want anyone to see if before its presented.
 I've also knitted a boob (well 2  really).
 A friend of mine is going to be a midwife and asked for a knitted boob for helping with showing mums to be breastfeeding.
She gave me a pattern and i made this :

 Well, it gave us all alot of giggles!
I also think you should all see Tinys new hat. I didn't make it (its from M&S) but its so very very cute!

 

Anyway, TTFN

Something i really need to post

what ho chaps,
 i need to post some of these ( well 3 of them) - and by post i mean send in the mail as they are presents which i have, as usual, finished long after the birthday of the indended recipient!

Racer back Kitty Dresses, made from a pattern from this lovely site http://www.crafterhoursblog.com/2012/05/racerback-dress-tutorial-pdf-pattern.html

I haven't got tiny into hers yet but i'll try and nab a picture when she wears it! Just hope the other girls like kittys too!
