Felt works for Fathers Day stall

Yes - its true Fathers Day was nearly a month ago - but I can still show off some felt badges I made for our local school's Father Days stall.



I have been distracted some what from the computer - preferring books (Northline : a novel / Willy Vlautin These is my words : the diary of Sarah Agnes Prine, 1881-1901 : Arizona territories : a novel / Nancy E. Turner - both highly recommended) and and also falling heavily into the world of Ree Dummond.


These pins were inspired by Meet me at Mikes

Check out the moustache here - now that would make a fine father's day pin.

Happy Easter

Feeling a bit chocolated out already.

I loved this post from Michi Girl (it pretty much sums up my Easter activities!)

It doesn't take a clairvoyant or a genius to know that I love Easter. My grandpa just gave me an egg larger than my head, including hair. Tonight it will be gone. Tomorrow I will eat a lot of hotties. Saturday I will lie around a lot, might even drink a bit. Come Sunday I'll eat chocolate, and chocolate alone until bed. Monday I will most likely be sick, but after cleaning my teeth I will eat any remaining chocolate, for I am a trooper. Bring on the rain and the woolly clothes and the hot drinks. Hoppy Easter.

bunny boy

This week my train project was sewing up this little bunny for a friend who has just given birth to her first child. The pattern was from a free download from Hillary Lang.

Good fun - a few problems; didn't quite stuff it to the gills as Hillary instructed and also I left the gap to stuff it at the bottom of the bunny, when it should have been the side - this makes for problems standing the bunny up!

I hope he eats all those weeds up in my garden.
