Apparently time flies when you're having fun!

I can't say that the last few weeks have been fun, but the time has truly flown...
I have been creating a few bits and bobs over the past month and this morning I popped to the scrapstore while Danny was at pre-school and stocked up on fabric that I have no-where to store... so I had better get on and make it into something I suppose! lol

When I was in production line mode with dogs I made a red white and blue one... so I would like you to meet Jack the dog!

I then found a pattern for a teddy bear that I thought I would give a go... he is very popular with everyone at the village cafe... where most of my creations get an airing...

The cake is an attempt at a mince pie but I am currently at a loss what to do with it next...

I started this chocolate coloured teddy bear which was a much chunkier wool and I used a slightly larger hook... however when I got to his feet I ran out of wool.... so I unpicked his legs and decided to start with a red wool of a similar weight and make his feet have boots and then finish the top of his legs with the brown.... however he's not been very well received (not like the white one) should I make him a jacket? or a hat or something...?

I was given a odd ball of sock wool... so I thought I would granny square it to see what it would look like.... I quite like the effect, its fairly delicate and fine but sturdy enough to be a scarf or cushion cover.... not sure what it will end up as... ;

I have been given over the past few months a vast array of odds and ends of wool, and I really can't store much more.... so I am starting to make granny squares and sew them together... in a bid to put them to good use...

and this is some of the fabric from the scrapstore... its quite heavy fabric more like upholstery weight but I think it will lend itself well to making some fabric boxes and Christmas stockings...

I will post again tomorrow as I must dash now... I have a few creations to finish as they need to be boxed up and sent out and I have some pictures to share with you of some lovely things that Sarah from The Blueberry patch sent me in return for a dog that I posted to her today...

I can't believe its only 5 weeks and 4 days till Christmas...
I have so much to do some stuff related to me and I still have stuff relating to the PTA to do and 2 signs to paint for a lady in the village who is opening a farm shop....

goodness me I could do with another pair of hands! lol

take care
seeya again tomorrow
