WOYWW - Dusty meets Pinxie


Good morning all!

A pretty array for you to peruse this morning.
After a wonderful fun day Monday, little Pinxie came home to join her new friends. Of course Scruffy disgraced himself (See post below!). But Dusty seems to like our new pink and punky little friend.
So, here they are, sitting on my table with the 2 scented valentine hearts, a new little phone cosy and a cute little scented owl. You may recognise the felted sweater fabric in the pile below.

Today, I am hoping to create a few more items with my recycled sweaters - maybe a few brooches for Springtime to go with the heart brooches already in the blog shop.
Wipso and I have updated the blog shop and put lots more crafty creations on the shelves so do pop over and have a peek.

Just to say.... There is a fab "GIVE AWAY" on Jensters blog so pop over and help her celebrate her 50th birthday!!

Then nip over to the lovely Julia's blog and join in the mad Wednesday blog hop.
Thanks for calling in here - I love to hear from you all and I will get round to as many blogs as possible this week and see what you have been up to.

Scruffy and the new kid on the block!

Well Scruffy - you have have really let yourself down today!!!

Look at you - our new little friend Pinxie calls to visit Dusty and you just can't wait to to climb up and say "hello". Unfortunately your shorts are at half mast and you are exposing your builders bum to everyone!
Dusty is really disappointed in you. She thought she had a more than a little romance going on with you and now it looks as if you are easily swayed by a bit of funky pink frizz and a belly button stud!

Well Scruffy - with Valentine's Day only a week away, I think your best plan is to pop over to Sisters Crafty Creations blog shop and treat Dusty to a pretty gift from the new collection. Wipso and Twiglet have been really busy creating some fab little treasures and I am sure you will find a nice heart brooch for her.
I hope, that by WOYWW, you will have sorted things out between you and Dusty - oh and for goodness sake - Pull your shorts up!!

Quick update!

Wipso has this on her blog - she wants us to pass it round.
So if you would like to pass on some love then pick up the pic and pop it on your blog so that we can send some love around the world!!!

They've been framed!

Well - so many kind folk said I should frame my little "dumfed" seascapes that I decided to make two more and do just that!
So on this wild and windy Friday - out came the felt, yarns, wools and beads and I spent a busy afternoon crafting.
The result....

I think it was worth the effort.
I will pop them in the shop on Monday along with Wipso's gorgeous poppy pictures and all the new brooches and Valentine's hearts that are currently being finished.
Have a great weekend everyone!

WOYWW

Good morning to all my visitors!
It's a damp and gloomy day today - so different to the bright, sunny day of yesterday when the birds were singing and I almost thought Spring might be on its way!! Oh and a beautiful starry night too - with owls hooting round Wipso's garden. Oh well - we know Spring will come - we just have to be patient!

Now - the old work table today is covered with activities of last week and some WIP for this week.
The cards are my latest little dumfed collages - seascapes and moorlands. I love making these tiny pics - maybe I should mount them in little frames to sell?
I found the gorgeous Laura Ashley, fairisle cardi in a local charity shop. I just loved the colour combo and thought of all the lovely little items I can make from it, once it has been hot-washed and felted.
Peeping out from beneath it and just on the top, you can spot the next little project that we at "Sisters Crafty Creations" are busy with. Hearts and flowers and all things romantic for Valentine's Day. Pop over to our newly revamped blog shop in the next few days and see what we have been up to!!

Thanks to everyone who called here last week and left lovely comments. I will try to get round a few more of you this week.

Have fun and if you don't know what this is all about then follow the link to Julia's blog and all will become clear.
