Birthday appointment misfire!!

Lol! my hubby had planned a surprise for my birthday today and wanted me to meet up in London when I went there. But unfortunately it all misfired as I did not get the message till I came back home. So since I was back home early this is what I decided to do.

Now I have to wait for the clay to dry... but I have already finished her in my mind LOL!

Last but not least thank you all for your Birthday wishes for my blog and me!!

Blog Birthday

This blog is 1 year old even though I had started blogging much before. I moved my blog when blogger changed over to beta blogger so I will just celebrate the birthday of this blog. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all my blogging friends and visitors for their support and encouragement through out. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. You are the best!!

Finishing my homework

I haven't got round to working on my doll today. I had to finish my homework. We were supposed to paint a row of houses. I couldn't think of anything so I looked at a photo I had taken somewhere in Cambridge and improvised. It didn't turn out the way it was supposed to (story of my life)LOL!! I think I overworked on the paint so the transparancy seems to have disappeared a bit. I have to wait and see what my teacher says. This the picture I improvised from.

Fingers in different pies

Since I have my fingers in different pies I thought I might as well have another pie going LOL! So I decided to take Jacque's class. This is a lovely tree top angel called Ashley Rose . Here is mine sitting in a corner drying. I hope she doesn't take too long. I think I will put her in the oven

to speed up the process.

Gifty Day!!

Look what I got in the post today! A pressy from my dear friend Kai! Thank you so much Kai. I never expected it, you are so kind and generous and it is lovely. I will treasure it. It has made my day. Thank you thank you once again.

Tiny fairy done

My tiny fairy is done. I am wondering if I should give her wings. I like her as she is. I made some wings for her but I think they are a bit too big so they keep flopping over. May be I will give her tiny wings. What do you think but I personally think she has enough magic in her to make her mobile LOL! She works her little magic and stands on her own. Her hair is made from wool that is twisted and when she is working her magic they stand out on the sides. She a fun fairy. Hope my partner will have fun with her. Her petals can even be used as pin cushions.

Weekend fun

Chris had a mini challenge in her blog to raise funds for "Breast Cancer". I am no good at scrapping anything let alone my breasts LOL. So I decided I'd make a little paper doll since it is for a good cause

Beach Babe

On Saturday I went to a feltmaking class. It is a 3 week course and I just loved it. It was great fun. The teacher showed us such an easy method. I have read about how to felt in various books and internet article but nothing to beat hands on demo. Here are my first results. Never thought it would be so easy.

Tiny Fairy

My Tiny Fairy has hands and legs. She turned out to be a skinny 10inch fairy LOL

I have been tagged!

Hello ladies, I have been tagged by Michelle, Diane, Chris . Thank you ladies for thinking about me. I have decided that I will just play here and not tag anyone else as most of you have already been tagged. So here are my 7 secretes LOL!
1. It is one year since I left work and thought I would miss it after a while but I don't. I love being at home and doing my own things
2. When I sit down to do my craft work the elves keep coming and hiding my things
3. When I do my craft work my work seems to spread from one room to the next
4. I love to watch Antiques Road Show
5. I try and excersise 3 times a week
6. I love to travel places that has a lot of history and if I had the money I would do just that...
7. My fix for the day is a cup of tea in the morning and a cup of tea in the afternoon.
It is almost time for that fix so I am off the computer now

Dolls dancing

I have dolls dancing, that is in my head but not yet materialised. After having been to the knitting and stitching show I came away with lots of inspiration. While I have been mulling away in my head, I made this quick pin for Justine whom I am going to meet on Friday. She came across me via the internet and contacted me immediately when she found that I live in England. I am really excited about meeting her. I am also designing a tiny little doll for a swap which is not turning out tiny at all LOL! The swap is for a 6 inch fairy but mine is about 8-9 inches. I will just have to turn her into a 6 inch fairy and I will make a bigger one as well which I want to do.
