Busy, busy at last

Actually got something made, it's 1/12th scale linen basket made from plastic canvas and thread, it has a cotton floral lining and i have sewn a beed on top.  Thankyou  to Jane Laverick a fellow AIM member who kindly gave me some of her canvas to give it a go.   Im pleased witht the results and will definately do some more to sell on my site and at fairs.  Going to do diff colours. 

My son keeps reminding me that when i have 100 followers i have to do a givaway and i may add one of these basket as part of it.   20 more to go!!

Fed up

Hi just a quick moan really!  Not feeling to well today and everything i try to make goes wrong.  Tried stitching and i keep miss counting, decided to make bits with fimo and it just keeps going too soft on me , I dont know if its cos its a new pack or that im quite warm myself.  On top of this both kids are not well and its my birthday tomorrow.  Going to stop moaning now that never solves anything, think positive, i need to feel better for Sunday as i am visiting miniatura at the NEC as a birthday treat, really looking forward to it.  Im having a cup of tea now and then im going to have a rest for a while.  Sara x:o)

Holly's story, Many Tears Animal Rescue

After noticing one of my fellow bloggers Debbie had the Many Tears Animal rescue on her site i contacted her to see if she also had a dog from them.  (thankyou for your reply Debbie)  This made me think that i also should add them to my site.  First i decided to tell you about Holly.  Last year we nursed a very sick and old german shepherd until the day in September when we had no choice but to call the vet to our home to put her to rest.  After this emotional time, we said no more dogs because i didnt want to go through that again.  Time passed but my grieving didnt, i missed her company so much.  In the November my husband started to look on rescue sites, supposedly just looking, whilst looking over his shoulder i saw her and knew. As soon as i saw her, we started to get details of the centre,  when we found out they we in Wales(uk) and that we are 6 hours drive north my husband thought i was mad.  I couldnt stop thinking about her so we applied to be adoptors, we passed that and then 3 days before christmas we travelled the 6 miles there  and 6 back in the snow.  We dont get snow very often but it really came down.  I know they say dont get pups at christmas and this is right but we had not planned it that way.  As we entered the foster home and saw her runing to us it was love at first sight.  Holly and her siblings had been found in a bin bag ( i really cant understand some people) in Ireland and then rescued and brought to Wales.  Many Tears dont usually allow christmas adopting but with the amount of pups coming to them they didnt have much choice.  Holly was so good coming home and has continued to be a good pup, not even chewing much, and she was already totally house trained.  She is much loved and spoilt by us and freinds and she loves everyone back.  Kara our shepherd will never be forgotten and we have planted a red rose bush where she is buried in our garden but holly has helped me feel whole again.  Sara x

Two more pumpkins and two more welcomes

Welcome to Ascension and Otterine hope you come back for more visits. Sara x :o)

Had another go at the pumpkins, these are a liitle bigger but i think im getting the hang of it now,  unfortunately run out of the fimo, so i need to go shopping, what a shame!!

pumpkins pumpkins everywhere

I decided as everyone else was having a go that so would i.  Im not at any stretch of the imagination good at working with fimo but i do play with it for little bits like the candy canes and those will be angel heads, will show you the finished article later.  I dont even have any tools for it so i rely on the fimo, my fingers and anything i can find around the house or in my craft box.  I am really proud of my little pumpkin as it is the first one i have made.  could anyone give me some advice though, do i varnish it or something?

Sara x he he im really pleased with it :o)

Mini Amigurumi

I haven posted for the last couple of days except to welcomes because i have wanted to finish a challenge i gave myself.  As you know i only started crocheting about 5 months ago and my ultimate aim was to miniaturise.  Practising on larger and then trying to scale down.  Well i think ive done it and im so proud of my new teddy.  Hope you like her as much as i do.  I dont think i can go any smaller though or at least not without a lot more practice, i have sore fingers.
