Change in direction... so say


Wow, right then where to start... 
First off i feel like a newbie on here, haven't a ruddy clue what i'm doing rofl. 
I've tried a few times to get back into colouring, card making but... it just isn't happening. A combination of lack lustre and  no room, my stuff spread in all four corners of the universe... (not actually, but that is what it feels like) what ever the reason it hasn't happened ... not yet anyhoo.
Soooo Ive been trying to fill my idle hands between spending play time with my 2yr nearly 3yr old with things like... knitting, Crocheting and i have just found my love of my sewing machine once more and even more  so the love of the cutest soft toys i can make with my machine... mainly Tilda . Oh my goodness cuteness overload, can't even begin to describe what i'm on with...  well anyway that's what i've been filling a few hours with, as i can't  just sit with nothing to do.... brain races too much. 
Things take me longer to finish these days as i have already mentioned above I have my little bean to entertain in the day now.... to be honest i think that its the other way round and she entertains me.

I'm not sure if i will  be posting on here often or not or even if anyone is even interested. lol 
The long and short of it is that at least i will have a place that i can keep a record of what i have made/done. Time permitting

Ive added a few pics below of what I'm prattling on about. 




 large Tilda Hare/Rabbit in blues and cream colour way.
and another large one in red and cream colour way.




A small Tilda Rabbit.. 




And Lastly a Tilda snail. Pincushion.  



All these are made from Tone Finnanger patterns.
Too cute. 
Take care, and I hope that your all having a lovely day.

Brown Hair.

Hiya, am off out in a bit to take Hollie and Ben to see the Harry Potter film.. but thought that i would just pop on this new video that i did about colouring hair.. (as i have been asked)I normally take a bit longer  to colour it in but was trying to get the colouring done in the time frame of You tube, but you will get the general idea... 
please excuse my naff thumb nail, but it fell off a while back and is a mess at the mo.. rofl..
