Finished by Friday and smile!

Fridays seem to come round just as quick as Wednesdays!!
Annie and I worked hard on our quilts and here is my first one finished.
(She is, of course, Wonderwoman and has probably finished her second one by now!)
I bought a metre of pink fabric to trim it up but the rest is all from our fabric stashes.

AND just to complet the project, I made a patchwork bag to hold the quilt.

Bright and cheery isn't it.
It will be going to Jo soon. She has set up the Lillybo Quilts project for poorly children.
So if you fancy having a go making one then just click on this link to Lillybo Quilts and find out all the details.

Now here is my Friday smile......

This adorable tiny bear came scrambling through my postbox last week.
Look at him sitting next to a thimble showing you all just how small he is.
His name is Tanner and he came all by himself by plane from Canada!
He was beautifully hand felted by a very talented lady - Veronica of The Bearister Bookcase
We swapped crafty items and Vee made him specially for me - I love him.
He has been helping me choose colours and patterns for my quilts - he soon realised how indecisive I was and stepped in to make a few BIG decisions - lol!
He certainly puts a smile on my face - I hope he does the same for you.

Have a great week.

Beat the weather and the Christmas rush!!

Wipso and I have had a great time loading our new shelves in the Sisters Crafty Crations blog shop.

So, please make yourself a cuppa, pull up a chair and have a browse through all the new goodies. You will find lots of wonderful ideas for Christmas gifts.

There are lots of fabulous new Brooches and Gifts, and also two new shelves....a Sock dolly shelf with some cute creations  and a Christmas shelf with decorations and other goodies.

There are Felties waiting to be adopted and Puppets longing to be played with [suitable for over 3 year olds].

There are one off Pictures and sets of Cards that would also make lovely gifts.

We really hope you enjoy browsing and hope you find something you'd like to buy. Please contact us with orders and any queries at wipso@toucansurf.com.

Bears, bears, and more bears!

Here are the latest needle felted, little bears from my sewing sister.
At the moment, they are sitting on her top shelf in her sewing room, keeping an eye on her whilst she sews! They are cheerful little bears, each with a winsome expression.

If anyone would like one of these little collectables, she can be contacted at

Bears for adoption

Hopefully, I have managed to upload a little slideshow of the latest in the range of needle felted bears made by my clever sister. They are so cute we thought you would like to see them!
If you would like to adopt one, then you would need to contact the maker and give details etc and I am sure she would create one for you too!
