A little bit of this and that

Over the past week I’ve been jumping from project to project. So everything is part way done, and gets worked on depending on who is awake and around!

Part of my rainbow of gnomes is ready to sew up – red, orange & yellow. And green is next 🙂 I’ve decided to sew them all up at the end, rather then someone working out what they are along the way, shhhh 😉

Sneak peek

Another knitted bunny is ready to be fashioned out of my green knitted square.

Oh, and I got sidetracked by knitting some simple ‘sleeping bags’ for some new Spring Flower Gnomes that I have just made (post to come).

Apart from knitting, I’ve got other handmade items on the go. So, what with all this crafting, it may not be surprising that I haven’t done much reading. But when I do have a spare moment I’ve been enjoying ‘A Game of Thrones’ by George R.R. Martin.

Joining in with the Yarn Along 🙂

Warmly, Kelly

P.S please excuse the poor photos!

Plates by Master D

We’re aiming to make most of our Christmas presents this year, and to foster a love of giving in our children. Luckily we also love being creative 🙂 and getting inspired by others.

We bought some nice plain white plates, one for each of us, and some special paint pens (DecoColour opaque paint markers) that you can use on ceramics.

I gave Master D a red, yellow, green and blue pen and let him go for it! He thought it was great fun getting to paint on plates!

He painted a picture of Little Miss Q on her plate. He told me as he painted, ‘she has a big head and big eyes, two legs and two arms’ – I think this is my favourite 🙂 (sorry, for some reason it keeps rotating the photo to the side)


A dinosaur in a cave for his (surprise, surprise!) (and again, on it’s side):

 A rainbow for daddy:

And a dinosaur with a Wookie dog for me 🙂

Now we are going to wrap them up to put under the tree for Christmas. Oh, and I couldn’t help myself and gave it a go too 🙂

Warm wishes, Kelly
