Creating

Oh boy, life seems a little crazy this week. Busy, busy! I finally finished up my brooch for the brooch swap, and made a little bundle of goodies to send with it. I hope she likes it.

Out in the garden these two have been creating some fun of their own. Mama Zsa Zsa & Papa Freddie may be welcoming some new little ones sometime this winter...:) Aren't they a cute couple?

Not sure about Norman the Plymouth Rock though. He is too busy cock a doodling and doesn't seem the romantic type. Yet. He is a handsome devil though isn't he? When we first brought him home he was a weedy looking sad sack of a bird, but look at him now!

I'd love to make a chook/rooster soft toy one day. And I've had some thoughts about a duck cushion too.

Guess I'll add it to the list!

Oh the loveliness of neighbours. One in particular. Alison From Next Door left this amazing apple cake on my kitchen bench yesterday. It was pure heaven biting into its rich softness while sipping on a hot cup of tea. I can't tell you how much I appreciated this delicious gift.

I was thrilled also to receive a my very own brooch this week too! This dear sweet flower arrived with a pretty vintage hankie, some buttons and pretty thread. I wear a lot of purple and pink so it will feel right at home. It was made by lovely Lis from peace'n'piece, thanks Lis, I do love it so. Aren't swaps the best? It's such a nice way to connect with other bloggers. Thanks Susie for organising this excellent swap.

This week I'm finishing off some bunny orders, such as this little sweetheart.  Don't forget that I love to make custom bunnies, just email me and we'll have a chat about colours & fabric. Mum is on a roll with her little cardigans lately, she just delivered a batch that are gorgeous gelati colours. Yay! My own knitting has stalled slightly as I get my head around stitch holders and pockets. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it..eventually. Lets hope Rosie has her cardi THIS winter.

Today I'm excited as Charlotte is coming home for three weeks! We have lots of plans and it will be great just to hang out with her. I'm also thinking about buying a bigger, better camera as I'm getting more & more into my photography. Any suggestions lovely friends? I need to do some serious research, I'm sure Char will help too.

Anyway, better get a wriggle on, much to do today. I think I'll make a cuppa first and check out some of these spaces..why don't you too?
Lots of love to you & yours,

from me & mine. See you soon xo
