Xmas cards

A little bit late, but here are some of the Xmas cards I made for the Xmas just gone.  Unfortunately, they didn't photo very well, so I apologise for the poor image standard.  The cross-stitch ones came out a lot better, because they were less shiny!

I have now ordered a new camera cable, so I can start blogging some more recent photos soon too.

Toys!

I made these toys for my neices and nephew for Xmas.  I used a template provided by Craftseller magazine, and adapted it for the monster - I didn't think my 7 year old nephew would be thrilled with the overly cute looking birds!
I'm quite proud of them, since it was my first attempt and making toys.  I'll certainly be trying more ambitious toys etc. in the future!

Here's a couple of photos of Willow and Tangent, to prove they are doing ok too.  They are much happier since we moved!
I have some more recent photos of them, but I need to buy a new power cable for the camera my parents kindly gave me so I can upload them.

I love this photo of them together!

'Soooo hungry!'

Half a year?!

Wow. Pretty much half a year since my last post.  That's pretty abysmal.  I'm not going to offer excuses, because despite life being busy, if I'm honest I did have time to post, but I just didn't want to.
I have done loads of craft projects since last posting, but there's such a backlog I'm a bit overwhelmed about where to start! 
Lots of stuff has happened in life too, but it was all generally stressful I didn't want to turn this blog into a whinge-fest, where I bemoan the injustices of life.

I'm currently working on a pretty cool project, and I will post some updates on its progress in a few weeks, once there's anything worth posting - there's a lot of prep work!

In the meantime, I think I'll drip-feed you all with some of the projects I've worked on over the last few months, and I'll endeavour to get better at updating.  On that note, we've moved again!  The landlord of the house that flooded evicted us (two evictions in one year -sheesh, that's enough to take personally). It's all good though, as we are now back in the area we really like.  The dogs seem happier since the move too!
