Felting Fish and stuff

I have been doing a lot of stitching felting and general sewing of late and sadly scraping has gone a bit on the back burner. Now I have lots to do, hopefully I should get some done on Wednesday. However, I have made some interesting bits and pieces. Here are just a few. 

I have also made my daughter a fab summer dress and some aprons 

RACE FOR LIFE

Yesterday I took part and completed my Race for Life challenge. I know it was only 5K (not a London Marathon or anything like) so no biggie for most people but for me it was a big deal and I did actually run/jog the majority of the way. I also managed to raise £157.60 for Cancer Research UK so not a bad days work for a wet Sunday morning. 

Scrapping again

Finally started doing some more scrapbooking. I have got so far behind its ridiculous but at least I have two pages done now. Only....well lets say a few more to go. 

Bluebells

This weekend my hubby and I took a different route on our daily 3 mile walk and were very well rewarded by nature in all its glory. The bluebells looked terrific and smelt pretty good too, well so my hubby tells me. sadly after and accident when I was young I no longer have a sense of smell, great when changing dirty nappies etc but I love to smell the flowers sometime.

Fancy that

I was at the Sewing and knitting show at Olympia a few weeks back and I bought amoungst many bits and pieces a collection of silk flowers and a hair band. I thought, well, its cheap and my daughter might like it as flowery hair stuff seems to be quite fashionable at present. 

I brought it home and put it aside to look at and make up later. Well this weekend I was looking through my bits and came across it and thought why not make it up for Easter. So here it is I think it looks very pretty perhaps a bit more Summery than Spring like but a nice gift nonetheless.

More Bunting.

Well another event to celebrate and more bunting to make. Easter this time, and I've made bunting for myself and my daughter. Here is my daughters bunting first. I think its really sweet and very cheery and spring like.

  

Bottles

I picked up some bottles and jars from a sale bundle the other day and decided to decorate them as they were so pretty. so far I have only finished one but I think it looks rather pretty. See what you think.
