 More little knitted cuties.

 Mr clown did have lots of green hair but i must not of attached it properly and now hes just got one green strand of hair but he doesn't seem to mind but I'm always finding him with his pants missing though !!

 the owl obsession continues :)

 Needle felted friends

 i bought this chair at a car boot sale it was a horrid dark wood stain colour but i loved the little heart cutout in the back of the chair . so after lots of sanding and painting it looks much better i think . i also made the spotty pink cushion.

 I bought some air drying clay for the pixies and while they sculpted monsters i made 3 little hearts .

 Yes more hearts ... these are made from clothes Ive bought from charity shops for the sole purpose of cutting up and making into lovely things .

  This is all the crafty things ive made in the last year and a bit, well most of it theres been the odd jumper knitted that accidentally got felted in the washing machine....oops!

 These little owlies are inspired by some i saw in a shop and money being tight i decided to make my own instead. Finding the perfect twig for them to sit on took longer than making the owls .

 Knitting is still my favourite crafty pastime its so relaxing and i love the slightly wonkey skwiffy little character that i create they look not much like the pictures in the book but i love them and the pixies defiantly love them.

 I made this little family of spotty monster in a weekend out of some super snuggly fleece.

 The little baby one is called Mumford after the band Mumford and sons which was on the radio just as i finished making him .

Daisy's 4th Birthday

Last weekend Daisy turned 4years old so as a treat for her birthday we went for a day at a wildlife park in the sunny forest of Bowland.
The little Meercat sat on the castle tower was my favourite :)

 Daisy pretending to be a Alpaca.

 not sure what the pixies ae doing here, the Alpaca looks very confussed !

 Daisy fell in love with this little chicky we spent a very long time stroking it and she wasnt even put off when it did a poop in her hand :)

 This is the closest so far ive come to having a photo of all 3 pixies all kind of looking the right way :)

 Daisy on the catterpillar ride which was brilliant fun a tractor pulled us on a track through the woods and we all got splattered with mud which Ben said was his favourite bit .

 A Wild boar baby.

a year and a big bit later ....

 Hurray! I've finally managed to get round to posting on my poor neglected blog :)
Its been about a year and 4 months ish since my last post and golly we've been busy ... we moved into our lovely new home last June   ,Ben started the village school last September and Daisy went to a lovely little pre school playgroup two doors up from our house .
Ive been busy trying to adjust to being a lone parent of 3 children which has taken a long while but i think finally I'm starting to find it easier .
 the photos are just a random selection of me and the pixies out and about , Ben might be at school some of the time but it doesn't stop us doing all the things we love doing as a family like exploring and crafting.
