the cat that got the .....

MOUSE.........

WOW ,It's nearly two weeks since i was last here.

I have been really bust catching up with orders, knitting sock monkeys and lots and lots of sewing, i'll post pics when they are all finished and ready for there new home. Also have been making something for my swap partner Gina for the valentine swap which lucy locket is hosting.

But in between doing all these things i just had to make this little mouse with catnip inside.... Daisy loved it, iv'e had a cat on high all afternoon, she was going mad for it, it was so funny to watch. I'm going to be making more of these little mice.

this weekend

This weekend i haven't done much crafting, we have been shoppin and found these lovely t.towels from primark for just £3 for five , with cute cupcakes on.

Then in dunelm they have rowan wool for 99p a ball, this sort that i got and also they have some chunky in as well by rowan. The crochet bed throw was from there as well in the sales for £4.99.

Yesterday the girls decided they wanted a crafting afternoon so i left them to it, which isnt like me i normally say no your not using that in saving that lol.

Here is the table

Here is what Laura made.... a autograph album for when we go on holiday

knitted cloths

Made some more of the knitted cloths and added them to my etsy shop. I really enjoyed knitting these and will be making more of them.

It's alright for some...

Here's how our cat likes to spend most of her days, she always looks like she is about to drop of. This is her is Jasons room, (dont look at the dirty windows)

Here she is on top of the kitchen cupboard. I think she likes been up here because she's near to the light and its warm.

Valentines Cards

Here's a few of the Valentine's cards that i have made up for a shop that sells some of my cards.Sorry about the rubbish pics, its very wet and dark here today.

These ones are sizzix heart cut outs, the one in the middle is a felt heart with stitching around it in pale pink.

Here's a close up.

Also fancied something quick to knit up last night while watching telly so decided to make some dish cloths face cloths..... Does anyoneuse these?? I have had this pattern scribbled down on a bit of paper for ages , i found it on the net but can't remember where.I thought about making a few and putting them with some nice soap in a bag as a gift set for the face ones. I,m wonderingif to make some cream ones as dish cloths for the shop?

knitting...

The knitting needles are working again, i found this book which has some lovely baby things to make.

Starting with the first one, a stripe jumper in cotton yarn.

Have been busy making up some orders over the weekend and now they are all boxed up ready for delivery. Kat your currant buns are on their way to you too.

Tomorrow is back to school, which also for me means back to work so i wanted to get all these done and ready.

Now its time to start on Valentines Day cards and mothers day cards, so thats what i will be doing this week.
