hand-made goodies in the post!

well i was the lucky winner of Murano Silver's
St.George's Day blog giveaway
i won a gorgeous customised ring
i choose to have my internetty name
stamped onto it

it is so lovely

i can't stop looking at it!

i'm thinking there is room for another ring on that finger
and my birthday is coming up so i'm on the look out for a
simple stone set ring to do with it - i'm thinking amethyst

if you fancy a ring like this take a look at Nicola's shop
Murano Silver
she has some beautiful pieces in her shop
and my daughter has already requested a ring for her birthday!

thanks again Nic x

who is this?

two happy little chaps

they are very cuddly!

and quite a handfull!

i was window shopping at FOLKSY
when i came across a Jelly-Bean baby amigurumi toy in
Rowena's Shop
it was in rainbow yarn but i asked if she could make me one in white
i think it is obvious why?
my kids are both HUGE Doctor Who fans and the Adipose episode was a real favourite!
if you remember i made my Mum an adipose brooch on christmas day!

My kids loved them but my son's will be heading
towards the washing machine very soon i think
Nate and white don't go together so well!

merry christmas and a happily crafty new year!

we had a lovely Christmas break - i hope you all did too - just posting a few festive photo's today - my computer has come back from the brink of doom i thought i was going to lose it and everything on it - scary - there are still some things i can't get back to normal including FLICKR which is driving me crazy as i have christmas money to go "pro" and stacks of photo's to upload.

do you see these gorgeous vintage glass baubles?

i begged my mum to lend them to me

i lovingly hung them on my tree

they look beautiful .

do you see my mum's other lovely vintage glass baubles?

my loving partner decided i was taking too long putting up the christmas decorations

he decided to put them away

at the same time as he was carrying lots of other things

we have a tiled hallway

guess what?

they don't bounce

GRRRRRR

lucky for him i was looking after pre-schoolers that day

but i nearly cried

and i haven't told my mum yet

yep - i live with DR WHO

i spent the time left between cooking dinner, eating sweets and unwrapping presents

making this adipose felt brooch for my Mum

here's me and DR WHO out for a walk on christmas day walking off our HUGE dinner!
