Belated mother's day pressie

I have finally done my mother in law's mother's day pressie, yep I know its very late but as they say, all good things comes to those who waits..hehehe..I just hope she things mr froggy is a good thing.

My mother in law likes frogs and I found him going through my craft magazines, he was in patchwork and stitching and is a design by Cheryl Ross.

He is made out of felt and I added a small string of beads on the dragon fly and a small bead in the flower.

So he will be put in the post tomorrow and off to his new home.

Sorry about the pic, I'm hopeless at taking pictures my dh normally does it for me but I decided to do it myself this time, afraid its just not as good at what he takes..lol...

Easter Swap

I have been meaning for ages to get a picture of this little fellow, my swap partner Bernadette made this for me when we had the easter swap, he is just so cute, she did a really good job in making him.

Bag

Finally getting posted somethings that I have done, this is a bag I made for my SIL's birthday, I made it using a canvas with a handbag print and red poka dot fabric for the inside.There is a pocket on the front as well as one inside the bag, there are 2 rings, one on each side of the bag that the handle connects to, I also made little beady thingies to hang from the zips. Really enjoyed making this bag up I made another one simular for the bag swap we had at crafty mama's, will post a pick of that one to. Now I think I've been bitten by the bag bug coz I really have enjoyed making the bags and look forward to making more up.

Plug Board

Regretfully I have had to delete my plug board as someone had placed a malicious button on the board and I could not remove it.

I wish to thank everyone for advertising their plugs on my board and I really didn't want to take it down but I thought it was better to do that so no harm could come to anyone's computers due to clicking on that button.

Bag Swap

We had a bag swap over at Crafty Mamas site and this is the bag my very talented swap partner made me....I just love it! she has done such an awesome job in making it.

Busy Time

Gosh, can't believe we are already into July, where has the time gone. I have really been neglecting this blog, must do something about that.

These last few weeks have been so busy but have been getting some crafty stuff done, just been a bit hard at the moment as we all have had the flu again, we just can't seem to get rid of it, as soon as one is over it the other is getting it back..arrg..also have had to help dd move house, hopefully this month will be a bit more quiet.

Work in progress is, a bag I'm making for a bag swap we are having over at crafty mamas, really looking forward to receiving mine :-) , a bag for my sister in law for a very late birthday pressie, a frog for my mother in law, clothes and pyjamas for ds, trackie pants for dh plus finish off all the other projects I have started, so hopefully will get all this done this month.

Getting behind in things.

We have been hit here with the cold/ flu thats going around, so there hasn't been much crafty stuff getting done, so I am getting way behind in things I should have gotten done.

I have started to crochet again which I enjoyed, so I think the crochet bug might have hit me, as soon as I can I'm going to hit the shops to buy some more wool.

I also made a jumper for my Ds, unfortunately I didn't measure him first and just made the jumper up straight off the pattern well it was too tight around his tummy and kept riding up, so guess that taught me a lesson in not taking my time to do it properly. At least I had my little grandson to give it to. :-)

The picture of the jumper is not very good as I took it with my mobile phone.
