happy new year

Just popping in to say Happy New Year to my blogging friends!!

I have just finished this hand knitted scarflette for a dear friend of mine, i just hope it makes it over the pond in time for christmas now. I also made one in cream but my daughter has worn that one for work today, i think i will have to get one made for myself!

EDIT*** the scarf pattern is a free download on ravelry and it is by theresa Belville.

christmas mugs

Made some christmas red mug warmers and filled the mug with chocolate and hot chocolate packets for the teachers gifts, hope they will like them.

im back....

sorry i have been a bad blogger recently, have been busy getting orders finished. Im now getting in the christmas mood and have made some reindeer food ready for the kids for christmas eve. If you click the photo it will enlarge for you to see the poem which i found through google.

There will be more mug warmers in the shop soon, they are selling so fast but now that im a celebrity get me out of here is back on the telly i can get some knitting done while im watching it.

Going to catch up on some blog reading now.

it's been a while

Hi, it's been a while since my last post, first i cut my hand which went the wrong way and had to go have a tetnus jab, also i have been full of cold which has had me laid up for most of last week. So i didn't get much done, i have been getting back into card making again and these are a few i have done.

Today the nice postman had a parcel for me from my lovely friend Penny, look at my new bag, Penny makes these herself and has some in her etsy shop if you are quick enough, arn't they trendy!

Heres a close up , i love this!

and theres more, i have been really spoilt!! some bias tape made by Penny, a cute little gift bag, some tards, which Penny has been making and yes theres more...

some of my fav yarn, i now have a new colour to add to my crochet blanket, thank you so much Penny. Also a fabric flower basket, i love this and its just my colours too so its going in my bedroom, the sweets have now all gone though.

I made a few more knitted donuts and got them sewn up yesterday

i just really wanted something to put on my new pink cake stand.

and while i was lai up i read the best book, the follow up to divas don't knit, i loved this book and didn't want it to end, does anyone know if there is going to be another one?

crochet, bodyshop and new unit

What a boring title post, i couldn't think of what to put. Has anyone tried the bodyshop body butter? Katy at i'm a ginger monkey sent me some as a gift last christmas and i have fallen in love with it , it smell so lovely. Well i needed some more so decided to throw a body shop party for a friend (which ment i got mine for free), since then my oldest daughter has signed up and become a consultant for body shop.So my night time knitting has now gone out the window as most of my friends are holding parties for her, which means i have been invited to them, i can see this costing me money lol.
I just fancied making something differant from the cotton cloths and mug warmers which i have orders for and wipped up this really quick, it crochet and iv'e turned it into a bobble for my youngest daughter. the pattern for the flower i found here
why is this the wrong way round?? It's my new set of drawers which i picked up the other day, its much nicer in real, white wood with wicker baskets which are now al full of dvd's and ds games, all neatly put away. The heart which is hanging on the front was a gift from Natalie at Summer by the sea.

flower hair clips and new patterns

My camera is back.....I just fancied making something today, i have a big order for the mug warmers and cotton cloths but thought before i start it i wanted to make these flower hairclips.
I also bought this great pattern for knitted donuts from here, arn't they cute!
the next pattern i have is one of Julie's at little cotton rabbits, its for her lovely yummy cakes which im looking forward do making a batch of.
and last but not least i have my copy of SEW HIP which is full of lovely patterns and lots of other things.
