More Fee's

Hello, Hope you have a great start to the week.

Goal 4 (i think its 4 I'm losing track all ready) for this week is 'Make a headband or hair accessory using found or recycled objects' I'm looking forward to this one, but i can't remember putting it in the box, its in my hand writing though so i must have.

I have made some more Fee dogs in different colours. I managed to photograph the grey one before it got to dark.....

Again with 'emotional ears' as J calls them :)

I have made a black and white one too, and a brown and another grey one but they have different faces. I am going to have a go at making my own felt too, so i can make a brindle coloured one, i can't find any brindle coloured felt anywhere.

I have some more 'Etsy loves' to share with you......

I'm going to practise on the Xbox now while J's asleep, i need all the help i can get.

Take Care and have a lovely week xxxx

A Week In February

Hello, I have just finished by mini scrapbook and wanted to show you before i go to sleep :) Sorry about the terrible lightening.

I had to adapt this goal a bit, i was going to include photos of things i did everyday but i have run out of printer ink, so instead i used pictures from magazines to show some of the things i have done this week.

I have done alot of sewing and got in a tangle when i was trying to sew with a bent needle.

I made lots more hearts for my Mom's friends daughter, for a Valentine's party she is organising.

This is what I've dreamt of doing all week....

Thinking about how to have my hair, I've looked at 100s of hair styles and still can't make my mind up. I printed these year book pictures off awhile ago :) from yearbookyourself.

Russ said i haven't shut up all week :) i don't think I've been any more chatty than normal i think he's just noticing it more because we are still at My Mom's in one room and he can't escape (For this page I used one of Elsie's designs that i made on her online class last year)




I hope it stops raining soon, I'm fed up of being sat on my a soggy Fee.

and i must admit i have been eating a lot of this.......

I went to Hobbycraft this morning, i should have done a page about that really it has been the highlight of my week. I got some more embroidery threads and managed not to buy any more books. This evening i have been working on another Wolf brooch and started another dog :)

Well I'm off to bed now...sleep well and take care xxxx

A Felt Fee

Hi, hope your week is going well.

I wanted to show you one of the presents i made for Russ for his birthday, a felt Fee :)

Complete with very realistic expressive movable ears!

I made a couple of similar ones in different colours for my Etsy shop that just need finishing off. I was going to do that this morning but i broke the needle for my sewing machine and don't have any spare ones :( I just found out the nearest place to get any is in Worcester which is about 12 miles, i don't think me and Fee can walk that far (well she probably could, i definitely couldn't)

I did walk into town yesterday that wasn't too bad its only a mile. I had a look round the charity shops I haven't been to any for awhile so i was determined not to come home empty handed, it was a struggle though but i did find a pretty jug....

and a powerpuff girls heart cushion which i really needed!

Take Care xxxx

No Photos Today???

Yippee its February which means i can convince myself its spring (even though its very cold at the moment) We have had lovely blue skies today....i was going to show you but i can't upload any of my photo's and this is the third time I've tried??? I'm sorry this is going to be a 'no photos post' :(

Goal 3 is here already....these weeks are going quickly, ok i will just pick a goal out of the box....eyes closed.....no peeking...here we go...

'Make a mini scrapbook documenting your week in photos and text' erm, i think this maybe a bit boring if today is anything to go by, all I've done is read, play the Xbox with J, lose (again), have a strop because I've lost (again) and watch Robin Hood the Disney version on video :) Oh i did walk to the post office but that wasn't very exciting either.

I will be back soon hopefully with some photos.

Goal, Packages and Stitching

Hello....hope you have had/are having a lovely day.

Goal 2 is sort of finished, i did start a painting but after i had painted over my painting 3 times i gave up. Then i played around with stitching quotes using the sewing machine (i don't want to speak too soon but i think I'm starting to make friends with my sewing machine....i have only had it 17 years, so I'm not doing to badly) I love making these, i need to practise some more though as you can't really tell what it says which defeats the object a bit, but i think its nearly there.

'Our fairytale begins now' I think i need to work on the 'our' it looks like out in the photo :)

I got a bit carried away and couldn't stop making them, then i started on pictures....

Fee inspired one :)

I'm not sure how to display them??? at the moment they are just propped up on the shelf.

Today i made Wolf with his flower. I think I'm going to mount this one so it can go in a frame. I think I'm going to be making a lot more of these.

My first attempt at Jack Skellington....I have been watching A Nightmare before Christmas a lot this week!

Earlier in the week I finished Ali's brooch which was fun to make and wrapped some parcels....

On our walk tonight the sky was beautiful. It started off a very bright red...by the time i had run back for the camera, found the batteries and the memory card it had turned to a softer redish/pink...

and then to a lilacy/blue.

Fee had a great time carrying her piece of plastic for an hour that she erm.....borrowed from my Mom's recycling box as we walked past. She is taking her recycling very seriously!

Take Care!

Paper Treasures

Hello, hope you are having a lovely Wednesday. Today i was going to be very productive but I haven't quite managed it. I'm feeling very tired and have no energy today (even more than normal)

I did finish a brooch for Ali :) and wrap up Erin's gifts., but that's about it...oh and i have done lots of blog reading too.

Yesterday i started sorting through some of the boxes we found in my Mom's attic, and found some more lovely vintage paper treasures......

Gorgeous postcards.

The pictures in The Water Babies are beautiful.

I think this one is my favourite the colours are still so bright.

Knitting and crochet guides, with patterns for tennis jumpers??

I love these old patterns.

Painting books.



A blotter, dated 1938.

Scrap books filled with pictures, postcards, sketches, and little hand written notes. These belonged to my Dad's aunt.

I didn't find these in the attic, but i forgot to photograph what my Mom got me at the weekend from Claire's Accessories :)



Well I had better take Fee on her walk she is doing the 'sad eyed neglected puppy look' which she is very good at :)

Goal Number 2

Hi, here's goal number 2 for this week....

'Make a piece of art incorporating a favourite quote or saying - in any medium' erm....not sure what I'm going to make for this, maybe a painting, i hardly ever paint so that might be good....or a mixed media piece??

I have been working on Erin's gift but this about all i can show until she has received it :)

And some more Etsy loves....i can't stop finding them.

Baby Hare Augustine - dragonhouseofyuen.

Crocheted hat - anasousa.

Violet ring - thirtysixten.

Ceramics - catherinereece

The secret garden - doodlebirdie.

I have decided to have my hair cut properly!!! this is quite a big thing for me, normally i get anyone whose around to cut the fringe and just let the rest grow, but i would really like something different. I'm thinking of having a pageboy boyish crop but I'm not sure if I'm brave enough....I will probably just end up having a trim :)

Have a lovely week xxx
