.. clear up the confusion that I caused x The bigger toys that I have been making are from this book..
The last one I posted was this..
.. the youngest grandson (3) had taken it (before it was finished) when he was poorly, and it has been in his bed ever since x The colour was chosen ,from my stash, by his brother (6). The confusion came as to what he is!! lol x
WELL in the book it looks like this..
I dont know if you can read that .. it is a phoenix. The colour of ours .. "shows the colour as he is burning!.. it came from the mind of a 6 year old remember! lol x
NOW, under instruction I have finished this one..
.. notice this one has feet! The red colour on the tail feathers is because his bum has been in the fire! Are you not glad to be in his mind!!! lol x The boys say ... he is the big brother to the first one x
The family are feeling much better .. however the cabin fever continues as they are STILL testing positive. I am at the stage where I don't feel guilty for escaping!! lol x
Stay safe
Diane x
.. to keep my wishes to myself!
Remember I wanted time to work on .. and finish my blanket? WELL .. the day after I posted that my daughter and youngest grandson (3) began to be ill .. and tested POSITIVE for COVID . Then the day after the 6 year old started to be ill .. YES also Positive! I have remained negative SO .. as long as I continue to test negative .. I am the designated shopper etc. NO school run is nice .. but other than that I have stayed in as much as possible. My daughter and I are double vaccinated AND had our boosters.
She ad 48 hours of temperature ,headache and feeling ill, and the boys had, 24 hours each. They now have runny noses and coughs .. but feel MUCH better .SO GLAD that is all over! NOW I have to listen to them all MOANING about not being able to go out x Small price to pay I say x STAY SAFE OUT THERE PEOPLE
As I was finishing the blanket I played yarn chicken ..
and lost! SO close! I was NOT undoing a whole row for that little bit !! I could not find anything that was close .. so, I gave up and used the navy that I have used between each colour..
.. it is for my bed and I will NOT be inspecting it very closely! lol x
I was making this little cutie..
.. and the youngest grandson took him to bed x So, he has no feet .. no-ne here is worried about it x lol x
I finished this book too..
I am counting my time .. well used x Once again .. BE SAFE x
Diane x
... are happy , because.. I have finished one of the toys from their (longgggg ) list..
.. I used the re-cycled stuffing that is made from plastic bottles. It feels very much like the usual" stuffing .there were no problems with using it. Time will tell how it will settle .. but so far ,so good x
I am going to have a break from toys ... despite the moans and groans !! lol x ... and make an effort to finish this blanket..
It has been "on the go" for a while,.. I am SO close to finishing it ! I just need some crafting time, some inclination .. and some time with out a voice saying .. can you just .....!! lol x
Hope you are all staying safe x

.. week was my dads birthday, he is now 92 x
On his actual birthday he had a (pre-arranged) appointment at our local hospital, to see the cardiology team.. all well, just a little "tweak" to his medication. At his request, we stopped at the chippy on the way home and got fish and chips YUMMY x
Yesterday (Sunday) we had a small get-to-gether ,and OF COURSE....
.. there was cake x
I forgot to say the other day, the bag that the toy stuffing came in is also re-cycleable. So often you get these products and the packaging is as much of a problem x
Stay safe
Diane x
.. toys I have been making have used up most of my supply of stuffing, AND, as I have a LONG list to work from !!!! I needed to buy more.
I decided that I should investigate if there is a recycled option out there ... that is NOT going to cost an arm and a leg x I am all for re-using etc. but I do not have bottomless pockets x
Well.. I found some x YES xx It arrived today..
I will let you know how I go on with it . IF it works then it is an affordable price that I will certainly use again. ANYHING that stops a plastic bottle ending up in the sea/landfill etc. is good by me x SO,.... watch this space.
Hope you are all staying safe x

.. I like to share just how crazy our weather is .... I can tell you that at 08.00 am it was so cold and frosty .... the car windscreen had to be cleared so that the school run was not a disaster!! It is now 3.40pm and it looks like this..
... AND getting worse as I look out !Its madness !!
Is it any wonder I have finished my second book for this year..
It was a lovely read x
I also added this little cat ..
and also THIS cutie...
... to my grandaughter's collection and OFF her list xx The boys are now shouting that she has THREE and they only have ONE ! lol x ... oops x Back to work grandma !
Stay safe and hope you can find time to craft and read x
