Ive got 3 more finger puppets to make tonight and then im done with those too and up to date on orders PHEW!

kreativ award!

Wow i have been honoured with another blog award!


The lovely Melsh has nominated me for the "kreativ blogger award"! She is one face i see around my blog all the time and i really appreciate your contributions and opinions! muah! xx

So now i have to come up with 7 things that you might find interesting about me, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

1. I have so many crafty projects coming out of my ears at the moment it is ridiculous! I have yarn swaps to finish off ( including dyeing the yarn!) three felt food lunch boxes to make, one set of finger puppets, one doll, 4 handmade objects for another swap I'm organising, a personal swap shawl, plus all my Christmas knitting for my whole family! phew! oh and make something for the Toy Society's Christmas drop!

2. My new passion is sock yarn and sock knitting :)

3. I am one of "those" twilight people, but now way near extreme as most! hahaha cant wait to see New Moon. Currently reading the Sookie Stackhouse ( trueblood) books.

4. My Christmas wish list so far has "Sock Innovation" by Cookie A (sock pattern book) and a heap more of the Knitpro interchangeable needles. I would love some perfume too.

5. I have not eaten bread for two weeks and have lost 3 kgs just like that!

6. I would LOVE to get back into singing again, i miss is something chronic.

7. I have made and sent two Kohas (random acts of anonymous kindness, mine were in gift form) this week :) Plan on doing at least one a week until Christmas to share the love :)

So there you go!

Right girls now i need to pass this honour over to 7 other kreativ bloggers!
I'm going to nominate a bunch of women who i have met through "The Nappy Network" over the past three years. These women give me such inspiration and friendship. Muah! xxx

Wooly Mail!

yum yum yum. Enough said really?

My gorgeous friends :)

I am very lucky to have such caring and wonderful friends :)
My local knitting club sneakily put together a surprise package for me over the last couple of weeks, after a swap i participated in months ago had a glitch and i didn't receive a package.

here is what i got!



A book on 1001 uses for Vinegar, some weight watchers goodies, raspberry liquorice, fair trade soap and coin purse, some scrummy freedom spirit yarn and some hand dyed hand spun "gruffalo" yarn!

I am a very lucky girl :)

The Toy Society

I thought i would spread the word about a wonderful organization called "The Toy Society"

From their website

"The Toy Society spreads the love throughout the streets of the world. Nothing to it really just a bunch of handmade toys looking for a nice home."

Sounds pretty simple doesn't it?

The aim of the game is to create a handmade toy with love, package it up safely with some details inside and then drop it off somewhere that it will be found appreciatively, for example a playground, library, outside a museum etc.

Hopefully the lucky recipient will pop over to the blog and post about receiving it :)

I think this is such a wonderful idea and i am looking forward to making my first drop!



I am also going to be participating in this years mass Christmas drop which is a worldwide synchronized toy drop. Pop on over the the blog and sign up to be a part of this wonderful movement. You know you want to!

Mail for me!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I recieved some exciting mail this morning!



I was lucky enough to win Kellys Giveaway of some upcycled "Where the Wild things are" envelopes and some devine Evoke 10ply yarn. Trouble is i have no idea what to make with 100grams of 10ply merino? Any suggestions?

Birthday Boy

It was Robs birthday on Friday and i spent 3 hour sin the kitchen on Friday afternoon making his favourite dinner :)

Italian crumbed schnitzel with a tomato, black olive, capsicum and red wine sauce, tomato's soaked in balsamic vinegar layered with slices of feta, and asparagus with lemon. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Followed with decedent chocolate cake covered in chocolate cream, crumbled flake bar and strawberries grown from our own plants. Delicious!
