Mine, All Mine

Evening all

As usual my plans didnt quite happen.  But, I did get to the material shop and bought some lovely lovely lovely satin.  So I decided to make myself a diary organiser.  But bigger!

Its so bright and has space for my a4 pad which i will put all important info in, my diary, small notepad for meal plans or something and notepad for shopping lists or any other lists i want to make.  Its great.  And ideal for me and so very very pretty.  :D

Made the Organizer, now just ot use it! :D

Hello All, thanks for popping by.

I have done a little bit to my kitchen.  Two red pots on the window sill which I planted 1 hot pepper plant and 1 sweet pepper plant.  And thats about it!!!  But its a start. :D

Still not done anything with the dragon except buy the stuffing.  And whilst there I picked up a 30 bottle Chardonnay wine kit reduced from £24 to £6.  Happy days!  Just need to find time to make it.

Instead of making the kitchen thing I decided to make an organiser for my paperwork and diary.  So I made these. 

Ideal for my diary, notepad, little note book and maybe paperwork.  I can have lots of lists at my fingertips rather than piled up EVERYWHERE.  But my mate had these so had to make more.

I have lots of fabric I like so I made these 3.

This is my favourite one.  I love the colours, so bright and cheerful.

I have to buy more interface tomorrow and then I want to make some kids travel art cases.  Although you may have notice my plans dont always happen! lol

A House into A Home?????

Hiya

Sadly still not done anything.  Ok, I have done a bit but not finished anything.  The dragon is coming along slowly.  I now have a head, body, 2 legs with claws, 2 arms with claws and 2 wings.  But ran out of stuffing and now have to figure out how to do the tail and some sort of spines for his back.

I was reading a blog earlier with a link to another blog (for some reason i cant link to it) which was about making her house look nice.  We do not have any spare money at the moment so I think I am going to try and start making my house into my home thriftily.  The kitchen was done out a few years ago and is looking tatty, thats what happens when you go to a cheap place who have now closed!  So needs painting and bits I can make nice, made nice!  The living room needs new flooring and new wallpaper put up.  As does dinning room.  Hall needs new floor and under the laminate looked at as it does dip quite alot when stepped on, and painted.  So I have a lot to do.  Before doing all that I need to clean and de-clutter.  Cant even put anything up in attic as its full of junk up there. 

So, going to try and make my little house, my dream home.  I think this will look good in my kitchen.  http://littlebiggirlstudio.blogspot.co.uk/2010/05/spice-up-your-kitchen-meal-planning.html I need to find material that will look good, I think I have an idea of what I want, I just need to find it. 

The first thing I should do is to clear out under the stairs.  Wonder if I will get round to that next week.  Maybe the first thing I should do is write a list..............

OOOOPPPPSSSSS A Month has passed

Hiya everyone

It appears to have been a month since I last posted.  I am very sorry.  I havent really done anything in the last month. 

I did the second and final cake decorating and here are my cakes

Embarrasinly that is all I have to show you.  I am still working on my dragon.  It has a head, body and legs at the moment.  So must crack on with that.  And need to get organised and buy some fabric for the rag dolls I want to make.

Hopefully I will be back soon with a dragon to show you.

Blast from the Past

Hiya

Hope you are all well. 

I have been thinking about what I can make for the girls in the family for Chirstmas this year, how organised am I!!  Have seen a very modern and lovely rag doll which reminded me about one that I made years ago (over 20! :O).  Here she is.  She is now residing in my waldrobe as she freaks hubby out.  So I was thinking of making these with little outfits, maybe a coat and bag.  I think there are a few little girls who would love one.

But back to what I am doing now.  I went on a cupcake decorating course yesterday (got another one next Wednesday morning) and decorated these cupcakes.  I love them and really enjoyed decorating them.  The kids and hubby certainly enjoyed eating them!

And finally I did manage to finish this pink dinosaur.

I am also part way through my latest project.  My youngest son decided he wanted a dragon and that I had to make it.  So after trawling through the internet I could not find one that I either liked or felt I could do.  So I sketched out roughly, and I do mean roughly on the back of an envelope, of what I wanted and am trying to replicate it in crochet form.  I am actually writing down the pattern as I go and if it works well I will post it here.  Of course if it doesnt you will never hear of it again! lol

I hope everyone has a good evening and hopefully I will be back soon with a crochet dragon. :D

Enough of the Crazy

Hiya

So, my husband now thinks I have totally lost it.  After making my washing up liquid apron, I then made one for my hand soap bottle.

These are so cute and fun to make I then made some more.  And its whilst sewing these that my hubbie made the comment "enough of the crazy".  I prefere unique! :D

Finally I have managed to finish Elmo.  Although why he is so skinny, I dont know and I think I used a different size crochet hook to make the inside of his mouth as it turned out too big so looks a bit odd!  Ah well, showed the kids and they love him so thats all that matters.

I have almost finished the dinosaur but that has turned out a bit odd as well!  And I have dug out a few more cute fabrics for washing up bottle aprons.  Need to keep up the crazy unique, its fun!

Hope to see you soon

Lots of Things Started..

Hello

As the title says, I seemed to have lots of things started but not finished.  I started an elmo but ran out of white for the eyes, then I started a pink dinosaur forgetting that I had no white to finish it.  So I then started a blue dog, got one leg done and now cant find the pattern!!!!!! :s

So, onto the stuff I have finished.

My friend's daughter will be 1 soon so I made her this teddy bear.  Of course the dark pink is sparkly as all girls need a bit of sparkle.

I had an order for a gardening nana sock monkey.  So this is what I came up with.  The basket has flowers and carrots in it. :D

As I was making a apron for nana sock monkey I decided to sew up some more for my washing up liquid bottle and hand soap bottle for the kitchen.  My kitchen is red and white so obviously everything has to be red and white.  This is what I made.

And here it is on the washing up liquid bottle.  I love it!  I need to by more ribbon for the next one.

I hope you like my little makes.   See you soon with, hopefully, some more finished goodies.
