Loves Making New Stuff

Hiya

I do enjoy a challenge. And my latest was to make a sulley (from monsters inc) mug warmer.  I am quite pleased with the result.

I also made another minion mug warmer.

I finished the sparkly pink bolero after buying more wool.

And I blinged my nails again. First time I have painted flowers free hand. Will keep practising lol

Best get back to another bolero, sparkly grey and sparkly pink this time :D

Bliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

Good evening

We have been away at my sisters static, kids have played on bikes, fallen off logs, been on climbing wall and we have been on lots of walks.  I have also been crocheting. Cant belive I ran out of wool 2 rows before finishing.

I got bored after finishing the bolero and needed something to keep my hands busy so made myself a bracelet.

Then obviously I had to make one for my daughter.

After blinging the dog collars my friend asked me to bling her daughters shoes. These are brand new and I have been a bit nervous to do it. So yesterday,  whilst browsing the charity shop I found similar shoes in my daughters size. So I just had to bling them.

I think they turned out ok, I put the heart in as my friends shoes had a heart she put on.

I am pleased.  I just hope they last!!!!!!!!!

Might have a little play and make a gold bracelet.

Need Mod Podge

Evening

The collars I blinged the other day did not last well. Ruby has scratched her stones off, rex hasnt so thats good.  So will get some mod podge and redo it and see if that helps.

I have made more boleros

A piglet

And my daughters birthday cake which she took into school and none came back out which is a first as usually at least half of the shop bought cake comes out.

I have to admit I was quite pleased with the cake.  And am relieved none came out lol

Bling

Hiya

Been a bit quiet, training dogs seems to keep me busy.

I have blinged up the dogs new collars though

I have also done my nails, not enoying the gel bit but I do like the nail art

And I have made a bolaro or 2 :D

Still looking for inspiration to do more stuff, I am just not in the zone at the moment.  Ah well, maybe a nap will help, well it is mothers day ;-)

Getting My Groove Back.....

Hiya

I have been so busy, not really doing anything, well decorating, and life.  And we got a little puppy.  She is a boxer called Ruby.

So cute.  And really ickle.  She does not like the cold so I crocheted this little jumper for her.  She obviously likes it as she curled up and went to sleep.

But not really done much else.  The lovely lady who does my nails (cheap as she is still training) had a special offer on this week so obviously I had to go for it.  Red tips with gel nails.  Not sure I liked them really so today I bought black nail varnish (£1 in poundland) and got louboutin nails, just need the shoes to match....

But then I decided black looked a bit dull and they needed something so I blinged them.

I know I went way OTT on them, and they wont last (changing nappies tomorrow morning will see to that!) but they look so pretty.  :D

We are still in the middle of decorating, we had a bit of a set back with having to get work done on our bedroom due to leaking bay window roof so hopefully we can get our room done now.  Then its just my eldest room, stairs and landing and kitchen.  And the carpet downstairs but will wait until Ruby a bit better at potty training before we do that.

I'm Not Scared of the Gruffalo......

Evening all

I do like a challenge and the other day I was asked to make a Gruffalo hat.  So here is my Gruffalo hat.

I now need to make another one for my youngest son as he likes it so much.  So best get on with it then! lol

Have a great weekend.

Busy Little Bee

Evening all

With the days now getting colder and the frost warning coming on when I drive the car, I started to make myself some wrist warmers.  My daughter decided she wanted them.  This is the first time I have crocheted shells and am quite pleased with how they turned out and how easy they were.

 

So I made these for me and added a flower, now I have to add a flower to my daughters.

 

 

For those of you on facebook, I highly recommend a group called slow cooker saddo's.  Using their recipe and my slow cooker, I made this nutella cake.  The kids loved it.

 

And finally, due to the cold weather I decided to make a hat for my Rex.  I really do think he is not at all impressed with it! 

And on that note I think its bed time where I will be hanging off the end of the bed so as not to wake Rex up who will be sprawled across the bed taking up twice as much space as me like usual.
