Well.....here she is..Cassie, a 3 and a half year old Staffy that we got from the cat and dog home...she has fitted in very nicely and now come with me on my morning healthy walk round the moor

 Paper beads, and more paper beads

 Paper bead ear-rings....all mine

The only bad bit about making these beads is the glue on my fingers..every bead means gummy fingers, then washing fingers followed by gummy fingers....experimenting with thicker paper and more strips held together, burnt the first lot of big beads in the too hot oven, they went a lovely sepia colour, sadly no good to use, they are now sitting looking not very pretty in a little clay  bowl

First off i am showing my Journal/notebook cover, it comes with a hardback journal inside and is fully reusable for any A5 book,its base is 100% Jute with fabric , paper, lace, buttons and yarn embellishment..you can find it and lots more of these and my new Gift Tags here

Wonder where i've been ??  Ive been making these wallhangings...plus...lots of little Jute baskets

These are very cute, had to keep one for myself and it was hard to pick one, below is my choice

Also, discovered extreme knitting

 Lovely big cushion was my second go at this

 My Hubby toiled away making these

 My first attempt was this bag, its made from strips of blanket weight fabric and very hard to knit with

These are my needles that Hubby made me from dowling we got at B&Q

Finished this too late last night to take a pic, so just done that now, really like how it turned out, its for sale on my Etsy Shop along with lots of new felted brooches and shawl pins

The decoupage mannequin is dry enough for a test photo...looks very French vintage... was worth the mulberry paper and getting glue everywhere, have to re-coat  it tomorrow then hopefully my back-drop board will be ready too

 Just some of the feeders, they wont be full for long, the bird were on them as soon as i moved away

 Frozen solid again and i had to break the ice in the pond all the bushes i cut down yesterday are in a frozen heap waiting to go to the tip
