Bracken

Here is Bracken who hopped off to a friend of mine, she must have known there would be no chocolate eggs in my house!

Here is Lily, on ebay

Ha, what did I say, all finished by friday? Well Lily, is finished, the rabbit has gone shy and decided to hop off and the ellie, promise will be done tomorrow.

The weather has been gorgeous today so we went a little trip to Derby, just the city centre. I just picked a little Easter treat for a friend and had some lunch, so not much spent.

Last episode of Lark rise to Candleford boo hoo, so I've got the first series to watch on DVD, all over again! Yay, I do love that programme. Click on the link for more information about the series and the author, Flora Thompson. I also enjoy Dr Who and Dexter, Victorian period drama, sci fi and serial killer, something for all aspects of my character!

Coming soon.....

While I'm waiting for Spring to kick in, LOL, I've been doing a bit of sewing. I hand dyed some mohair lilac, a lilac bear, have done the head for my first bunny and also started a red and tan ellie. Phew, usually its not a good idea for me to have too many things on the go, but all should be done by friday!

Giveaway, this adorable quilt from Brenda, My little Annies

Brenda from My Little Annies has this wonderful quilt as a giveaway. Just pop over and leave her a comment.

Mitch on ebay

Well my Blog seems to be playing up, but hey ho. I got my ebay account hijacked yesterday. Not as much trouble as it seems as ebay had picked up on it and the first I knew was them telling me to change my password and they had sorted it. Little cyber monkeys, they had been using my account to list things, have'nt a clue what. The only way I think they got the info was a very reputable snipe site, as I wanted to bid on something while I was out, but not bid early. That will teach me. Thats my bit of monday morning drama.

Here is Mitch too, hope you like him. I've also started a hand dyed lilac bear, but that will have to wait until friday as its 'real work' for the next few days. Until then!

Daphne, a marshmallow of an ellie

Somewhere along the line, I'm sure I'll make ellies other than in pink! For now I'm enjoying the combination.

Tagged, random things....

I was tagged by Kelly at Yesterday's Glitter to come up with 5 random things about myself, so here goes.

1. I'm not dyslexic but when typing or writing I have to say outloud p and d to get them right, in my head they get mixed up.

2. I can still remember dreams from years ago. When I was little I used to have bad dreams, in my dreams the old Binatone bat and ball game used to play out with the ball getting faster and faster until I jumped awake! Weird, oh the other dream used to be monkey's jumping over the wall at the bottom of my garden and chasing me to try and wash my hair.

3. Talking of hair. I have'nt had my hair cut or coloured in years by a hairdresser, I do my own, with my husband cutting the back. Oh, it may be a sort of strawberry blonde/highlights colour now, but I'm really a ginger kid.

4. Passing my driving test was the most euphoric moment of my life, even more than giving birth or getting married. The other two things I knew would happen and I was quite chilled out about.

5. I once spent two and a half weeks in hospital with a DVT and I loved the food!!!!! The cheese and potato pie was my favourite.
