My helpful kitties

My cats love helping with my craft work, have a look at the pics below!!!

The great tidy-up has begun

As anyone who has ventured into my study knows very often there is no floor visible and in the craft room  the floor level has risen by 2 foot!!!! Finally the pink room  has lost its calm and relaxing feel and is still filled with school related stuff 2 years after I left that job!!!!

So I decided that each day until I go on holiday (41 and counting) I will try and clear a square meter, excluding craft fair days.

Well this week has not been too bad, several bags for the bin and a bag of stuff to take to my fellow Troon Crafters.

This is the result before and in true changing rooms style  there is a before and after picture!

 

I know it does not look much but believe me it took some time, next week I plan to sort out the coffee table and the chair!

Today is a finishing off and pricing day, I have decided to go back to having baby stuff at the events I do in Glasgow, so baby hats to price and  baby cardigan to finish off, would be nice if the baby hangers I orders the other day came in time for the craft fair in Shawlands in the morning!

Hope you all have a productive day too!

3 Jack Russels

 

Here are the three Jack Russells I was recently asked to make! They are very cute but were quite fiddly to do, and they are tiny!!!

How much is that doggy in the window ?

My three Jack Russells are finally finished. They were quite time consuming as made on 2.75 mm needles.

They measure 15 cm in length and 14 cm to top of head. More photos will be posted later.

Just finished this tea cosy in time for this weekends events at BAAD at the Barras on Saturday and Afternoon Twee at the Shed on Sunday.

It is made with 3 strands of yarn for extra cosiness.

Latest New Makes

Apologies firstly for the photos, my camera is not right at the moment, really must get around to reading the instructions!!!! The photos were taken at the weekend in Troon at the craft fair there.

I got great new yarns when I was in Wiltshire the other week, the first two images show a fabby ruffle yarn that is 50 % pure new wool  and had a great soft fleecy texture.

Thee are snuggles which slip over your neck and are very very cosy indeed and extremely lightweight! 

I was kicking myself for only buying 2 balls of this yarn, so took the plunge and have ordered 20 more, bang goes the remainder of Saturday's profits!  So hopefully it will arrive soon as both snuggles went in the first hour!!!!

 The next  set of photos are the softest , cutest booties ever!! Made in Rowan 4ply cotton and Paton's 4 ply cotton they are so cute!! They are a wrap around style with moss stitch sole and adjustable button fastening . They fit up to 12-18mth size and are machine washable!!

These ones were a special order , but all colours and sizes are available!!!

Large size in Rowan 4ply cotton

Sirdar Bamboo yarn / Patons 4ply cotton large size

Small size in Paton's 4 ply cotton

Events updated

Well my events list is now updates and is hopefuly correct!!!!

Yes I have it correct that I have 2 events on Sunday the 11th but have a cunning plan for that, which does not involve me cloning myself!!!! So I have not gone mad!!!

Sadly not at Little Birds in September or October now so may just have to go as a visitor to theses and spend some pennies!!!
