Vote for me!

Yep it's another of those 'please vote for me' blog posts - look away now if you don't like them! I am a member of the Crafting In Colour team and every month they have a themed challenge - this month it was pastels. You can make something special for it or use something that is already in your Etsy shop - I chose the latter.

I entered one of my egg box sewing kits - in pastel colours naturally! You can vote for me here - I'm number 9 :D

Creative Space

My creative space today is all about my sewing box.

I sorted it out and tidied it up while I was at my mums (I even hoovered the bits of fluff and thread out of it!)

I counted and I have 3 chicken doorstops that need zips sewing in and 11 chicken pincushions which need filling with rice and sewing up (3 of those need eyes too) So no prizes for guessing what I will be doing today :)

Go and check out what other creative spacers are doing over at Kootoyoo.

Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep!

We had a fun time today when we went to visit Nana (my mum) at work just before she finished for the day. She had told the girls that there were some chicks (1 week old) that we could look at and here they are.

They are now too big for the box they are in and were due to be moved to the farm so we got there just in time to see them. Cue much excitement from the girls when Nana said that they could hold a couple too :)

We also got to see some large aquariums that were full of fish so the girls were very happy :) My mum works in a care home btw - just in case you were wondering!

Some new stickers

Two new sets of stickers in my Etsy shop. Both recycled of course :)

A set for someone who likes quilts - I had great fun going through my extensive lot of books for this set!

And a set of London underground stickers. More to come soon once I have edited the photographs!

Mega chicken sale!!

I have reduced my clearance chickens to a very low $9 - that's less than half price folks! They are all one off chicken doorstops and there are only 6 to choose from so get over to my Etsy shop quick smart!

Here are 3 of the chickens :)

Swinging is fun.......

Or 3 or even 32!

The sun has been shining!

So we have been enjoying it! Yesterday after swimming the girls and I went to an indoor play area and while they played I sewed a fair number of chickens. There are no photographs yet however as I have been enjoying the sunshine! In the afternoon we tidied and swept the garden and cleared out the sand pit which was full of wet and mouldy sand (nice!) Then today the girls have been playing outside and Matt and I have been sorting Bumble so he is ready for spontaneous trips away :) Oh and we have also been enjoying a couple of these.

Yum!

Chickie in der baskie

The girls got this basket in one of their Easter eggs packets and as soon as I saw it I knew what I needed to do!
