More stuff!

OK, am back from Post Office, then the supermarket. I have a shepherds pie half done and some sleepy kitties just waking up and stumbling about after attention. Here's some of the other stuff I've managed to get done:

The Ice cream cone is my favourite amigurumi so far! I felt I'd learned a lot about freestyle crochet and decided to go ahead with the shapes to construct him. He looks so cheeky! lol! My mushroom is made from a pattern from the book Amigurumi Two, he's so cute! Then I have my second cupcake bear, I thought I'd use mixed mediums with him, and added a felt strawberry to the blob of cream on his head.

After selling a couple of the toast badges I made recently, I thought I'd try out a battenberg badge. I liked the results, so will be putting these in my shop by tomorrow:

well, I'm gonna leave this there for today and make another dash out to pick up my Mr from work, I miss having a car each, but its so much cheaper and eco friendly sharing one!!!

Cheesecake and Ice cream

OK, sorry it's been a while since the last post! been busy at work staying all hours just to reach the target by the deadline. Now thats over for a few months, more to sew! I've knocked up these cute bitesized ice cream sandwiches and this raspberry cheesecake! I loved doing the sandwiches, especially the biscuits as they're sooooo cute!!!

I bought my mum a book on amigurumi for mother's day, so hope she starts on those as they look gorgeous and I need to learn to crochet. Theres a Stitch 'n' Bitch group in Swansea that meet every wednesday (just read today) may be worth a look!!!!
