Busy needles

 The last few weeks have seen me busy knitting. It was our family break at Centre Parc's this week. I had seen a pattern for little gillets in a fluffy wool and thought they would be great for after the swimming dome. Need less to say the weather was good and they weren't needed, but so cute! 

I also made a set for one of my best friends new grandson. His Mum wanted some ugg boots for him to match. He is really little.

I did the largest size for jasper, think I may need a bigger pattern for next time!

He is a little love.

 New post, new me. 

My first news is that I am no longer a stamping up demonstrator. I have had 9 wonderful years, being creative with SU ink and stamps, running classes and making lots of really good friends. I now seem to spend more time with knitting needles, creating with wool for my 2 beautiful grandchildren. 

I now plan to post once a week, not always what I have been making but something creative. I'm sure there are not  many people reading my blog anymore so I will be writing about what ever it is that comes to mind to begin with.

Not being a demonstrator has given me a opportunity to try other things. At the moment I am making fun junk journals. I am actually trying to use up some of my mountain of beautiful paper. Don't you find it so hard to cut into some sheets, I just want to look at them. I do admire the designers of these lovely sheets. In the junk journals I have tried to keep to a colour theme with paper and inks plus use a limited number of stamps. Each one has pockets and a few tags. They are all very individual. I hope to be popping them in my etsy shop over the next few weeks.

Today I want to show you something else that is ew to me. I have joined a zoom class (hasn't everyone done one of these in the last few months!)  run by Phizzychic. Great name, great class. Its all about altered books. This month the theme was 'jungle'. We got an envelope of bits and pieces in the post and notes about how to use the actual envelope to create leaves etc, after all it was green!

These are the two double pages I created, there is a peep hole on page 2, can you spot what is peeping through?







Be back next week with something different. Happy crafting k x
