Billyboy Turns 2

And as usual the birthday boy was not keen on staying still to have his picture taken. These are the best I could get, he is just a total livewire, on the go all day. But then...

he comes in for his tea, (well okay I have to go down to the riverside and get him, because it's just too much fun down there for him to think about coming home) and then he crashes out, totally shattered. Happy Birthday Billyboy!

WIP My first attempt at Bunting

I'm currently working on this bunting as a birthday present for someone. Birthday's a week today so fairly on top of it, which is not like me, I'm a 'work right up to the deadline' kind of a lass.
It's for adorning a dresser so only 5 pennants needed.

I've used vintage book paper on a recycled pizza box base, with stamps and then I just can't stay away from the little fabric collages, lol.

Just got to figure out what to string them with, ribbon, scrap fabric, crocheted chain, phew, this crafting makes you think!
A big hello to my latest followers, tonight I could see you as Blogger has been playing up again recently. Hope you enjoy my little blog :)

Bill Biggles 1st Birthday

At first the birthday boy was a bit reluctant to have his picture taken, no time to pose, got a fly to catch, one of his favourite occupations.

Then, shattered, he decided to flop by his adopted scratching post. It's exactly 6 months to the day since I adopted him from the shelter and as they thought he was 6 months old today it's his official birthday. He's a wonderful, lively lad, always up to something. I caught him dragging a big fillet of smoked fish home yesterday, goodness knows where he got that from, hope it wasn't someone's tea! Many happy returns Billyboy!
