Where did those years go?

A few weeks back we celebrated Amy's 15th birthday, which means......

nine years ago she has just turned 4 and was off to school for the first time. Yikes! Today was her first day (well half as it worked in) of her final year in high school. Well its not even a year, they leave in May 2011. A very sobering thought, well for me. All I got was 'huh that was a waste of time, all we did was get our timetables'. While not actually loving school, it does'nt bother her either. I don't think its sunk in yet, she actually has to do some hard work this year!

On the bear making front I've started a black and corn coloured panda, I hope to have it finished for friday, all being well. Laters!

Clivey - available from my website

Hi everyone, I do hope you've had some lovely weather where you are. It was a pleasure to finish Clivey off in my summerhouse. I even ended up falling asleep on the sofa after, mind you its been that kind of weather.

Friday night, where has that week gone? Amy goes back school Tuesday, its her last year in high school. I do worry about after that, shes not academic, but a very happy, contented teenager. I suppose thats all that matters.

Have a lovely weekend, its my usual curry and wine night, yipppppeeee!

Great swap idea

Why not join in this no frills giveaway, easy peasy. Its over at Troc, Broc andRecup'

Tilly Rose

Hi everyone this is Tilly Rose. She was a naughty little bear as she was very hard to photograph. She is hand dyed a pale pink and sports a Cath Kidston fabric bow, very jaunty. I must confess a weakness to pink bears as do a lot of you, I hope you like her.

I'm pleased to say Tilly is off to join Crosby and a lovely lady in France.

Bon voyage Tilly Rose!

Crosby

Here is Crosby my latest bear. This time I went for slightly smaller eyes, I think I like them. My next bear will be in pastel colours as I've dyed some mohair a light/mid pink, pale pink and a lovely blue. I do like the pastel coloured bears.

Georgie

Hi everyone, this is my latest bear Georgie. He has slightly bigger eyes and a nose but I hope you like him! 

On another note, whens summer coming? OK so the south coast, so I'm told, was nice last week but here in old middle for diddle Stoke, its been very unsummery. It got so bad I ordered this book, Sew pretty Christnas homestyle and started daydreaming of Christmas! Lets hope for a nice tail end, Indian summer. Other than that, 'not to worry, it will soon be Christmas'.

Lovely giveaway....
