What's been happening ? well not a great deal really. We have had a few nice days and have been out for walks, taking lots of photos. We also had Mother's Day here in the UK, we went to Whitby for the day, to one of my fave restaurants, was a lovely day spent with my boy.

I made 3 sock monsters to go out to 3 little girls in Uganda, my dance teacher sponsors them, and they will go out in the next box of goodies she sends out to them.



I also made a set of 12 greetings cards for servicemen/women. This fabby girl used to be in the RAF, and she is collecting a ton of greeting cards that she will send out to soldiers serving abroad. they have no access to cards or stationery with which to write home to their families. So if you make cards and want to help, get in touch with her.






ummm what else? I got a new dress and new shoes. These are for my mum's 70th birthday party next weekend.

I made some socks for Ian for Easter, though a photo will have to wait.

Ian's niece had a baby boy the other day, welcome to the world baby Owen. Here is the card I made for him.



A couple of years ago my son bought me a wooden sign of my name, it was plain blue, so I have decorated it.



Last night I made another sock monster for the daughter of a friend.



I went shopping up at the farm shop and got molested by cows.




oh and I am officially addicted to promarkers.

New pirate socks for me, just finished. It was a free pattern online, which I would link to but the author has taken down the link, thank godness I printed out a copy before she did that, as I started them last year, and only just got around to finishing them. I would have been well annoyed if I was stuck with only one sock LOL though in theory I could have worked out the pattern from the first finished one...but it would have been very tiresome lol

Not much else happening, I have beeen drawing lots of Manga lately, really need to practise my drawing skills,they were never brilliant, and I haven't drawn for years. Since i bought Ian some art supplies for Christmas, he has been sketchig and painting too, with Acrylics...we are a couple of saddos LOL sitting in each night drawing hahaha
