WOYWW - a dressing up skirt for Katie Morag

 Good morning all!
Another week has flown by and I am happy to say that I have managed a few crafty activities this week.
As you see above, I finished the little dressing up skirt for a Katie Morag day.
It seems that lots of schools are having a Katie Morag day where children can go to school dressed as a character from the Katie Morag story books. It sounds like fun for the children but obviously a headache for mums to come up with the outfit!!
I have made a couple of little kilts over the years for my teacher nieces for their class to use in their role play.
So this one went together nicely - I love the fabric - its is knitted viscose and will be quite cosy I think.

On my desk today is a picture that I am making for Maxine. She is putting together a project linked to her charity. They will be running "vintage style" tea parties and I thought the tea cups collage might make a good picture to go on their invites and posters. I love all the pretty fabrics and trims don't you?

The little bag on the left contains the bits and bobs for another little Katie dolly.
I had a chuckle on Sunday when my hubby came through to the kitchen to say he had just spotted Katie Morag on the tv and knew who it was as she looked just like my little dolly!!!!  (And I thought he didn't take much notice of all my crafty activities!!)

Well that's it for this week.
Thanks to all those who pop in and leave lovely messages.
I will try and visit a few more WOYWW desks this week.

Have a crafty week.

Annie and I closed down our blog shop a while ago.
If you still have Sisters Crafty Creations in your blog reading list it may have shown up in your list today. It appears someone else has taken over the blog.
This blog is nothing whatsoever to do with us so feel free to remove it from your reading list or followers list.

WOYWW

Well here we are at the end of January already!!
Birthday celebrations for my hubby today - we will enjoy a meal out with our daughter and son in law. It is the third celebration meal we will have had. Maybe next time I should get everyone together and have one event but it has been nice to have a few little outings to share with friends and family.

Thanks for joining the WOYWW blog hop and for calling in here to see what I have been up to.

This week I have been "dumfing" - needle felting with my machine and hand "dumfer".
Maxine has been making some more lovely pictures ready for her exhibition and I was just twiddling with little pieces to go on cards.

I think I might make a few more ATCs too. They turned out really well last time and I sent them all over the world for our WOYWW 3rd anniversary. ( see them here)

I also think I might have a bit of sewing to do this week as I have had a request for a little Katie Morag dressing up outfit. I love a little challenge.

So....
What have you all been up to?
I love having a quick blog hop and checking a few desks out. I even saw a sewing machine on display on a shelf last week!!! So come on - show us your desk!!!
Have a good week.
Thanks for calling by.

Finished by Friday and a couple of smiles

Firstly - my two little cardigans - all finished and buttons added etc. I love this little pattern and I just think the Sirdar "Tiny Tots" wool suits them perfectly. It was a bargain from Kemps Wools - check them out they have some great offers.






Next is my old faithful Dendrobium.
I have had it for about 10 years at at some point each year it throws out these pretty little blooms.
There are 4 fully out and 3 more to come.
They are just so daintily pink!

And below is just a little chuckle for you.

Ooops - have to rush - I need a euro!!!

Subject: the British penny.

EU Directive No. 456179

In order to bring about further integration with the Single European
currency, all citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland must be made aware that the phrase
'Spending a Penny' is not to be used after 31st December 2013 ....

From this date onwards, the correct terminology will be: 

'Euronating'.

Thank you for your attention



Happy Friday!!
