Izzy and the Afghan

Hi All,
The green blob has now grown to include some black on Princess Izzy.

And it was the afghans turn to have some green on it.

 And for a cute little Christmas pattern here is a freebie from Herrschners . They have a few others for different crafts as well.
Cheers,Sharine

Faery Tales continues...

Bella's first orientation day went very well. Out of the 19 children in her class she knew about 8 of them. By coincidence I used to go to school with her new teachers children back in primary school. And just like that I felt about 5 again. She goes again next Wednesday. As for me I am of to the dentist this afternoon and then on to Bella's last dance class of the year.
Have a good weekend,Sharine

Just another update...

on Floral Beauty...

which now has a bit of colour. And on Princess Izzy the green blob grows...

And my own Princess Izzy has her first orientation day on Wednesday for school next year. I can't believe she is old enough to go but she can't wait and is so excited to finally be able to. Lucky for her to is a couple of her mates from kinder are going to the same school. At least I still have my other two ladies to keep me entertained during the day!
Cheers,Sharine

Faery Tales Update

Hi All, Here is Faery Tales again for another week.

And I even finished some more barbie dresses for Bella and Charlotte.

And here is a photo of my second project that I ever done. Kustom Krafts Fire'N'Ice. I stitched the entire background black because I thought aida only came in white.

One day I plan to stitch Golden Ice but reverse the image so that they face each other.
Have a great weekend,Sharine

TUSAL

Hi All,
If you head over to Its Daffycat blog you will see all the info for joining in on The Totally Useless Stitch-A-Long. I just joined and it's looks like  fun.
And while I'm here thanks to everyone who pointed out the the last photo from my last post is actually a baby hedgehog. Still just as cute and lesson learned not to trust Google images(or at least not to choose images without checking them first.)  The echinda from kinder ended up with wildlife rescue who said they would take it out and release it back into a better spot.
Cheers,Sharine

A new start!

Hi All, After some resistance from the three little ladies to go to sleep last night I finally got to start Princess Izzy by Hannah Lynn. A big blob of green. I am doing this on 20ct aida.

The picture of it is on the right.
Bella had an exciting day at kinder today. When the kids went into the storeroom to get some toys out they found an echidna . I wish I had the camera as it was a fairly large one. The teacher planned to release it on her way home tonight out of town.

and while searching for a picture of one I found this totally cute baby picture of one.
Cheers,sharine

Faery Tales Update

Hi All, Here is Faery Tales again.

This Sunday I am planning on starting Princess Izzy just for a break on Faery Tales. So from Monday to Saturday it will be Faery Tales and for Sunday night Princess Izzy on 20ct aida.  Hopefully this will make it up to my own Princess Izzy as Isabella still goes on about the green haired mermaid taking Ariel's spot in Faery Tales. Thank goodness Snow White sort of resembles the Disney version(at least in her eyes)!Floral Beauty will get worked on whenever my mother-in-law is out of the house.
And just for one small vent- I really wish people would keep their dogs locked up in their own yards. Now that the weather has been getting nicer I have been walking Bella to kinder. After dropping her off my other two daughters and I started to walk home we got followed by a large black dog and while he was friendly enough(at one stage he knocked of someone's ball out of their yard and dropped at my feet to throw it) Charlotte just doesn't like dogs any larger then our fox terriers so she piggy backed home while I pushed the pram. Nothing like a bit of weight training. A bit closer to home and their were three more dogs taking themselves for a walk.
Now I'm off to make breakfast for my three little girls after the littlest one decided everyone needed to be awake at 5:15am by squealing.
Cheers,Sharine

Bella's Finish and WIP

Hi All, So what happens when you combine these?

You get one of these

proudly made by Isabella

Incase you are wondering they are perler beads and have proved so popular with Bella that we went to spotlight and brought this Cinderella kit

and her wip so far Cinderella's coach

They are a great craft for kids, fairly cheap- the candy cane board was $2 and I got 1000 beads for $5. The candy cane uses  approximately 50 beads so plenty of christmas gifts there. Cinderella cost me $10 and for that I got the square bead board and enough beads to do the coach,Cinderella, Jaq and Gus. The only help she needed from me was the ironing(which makes Keith laugh as I never any other time unless I need to for crafts). The ironing makes the beads fuse together. Just make sure there is a sheet of baking paper between your iron and the beads.The boards are reusable and after checking ebay there are a lot of great kits. And it's not just for kids either. Just click here to see a great Simpson project. The link will also take you to a cool gaming craft chat board with lots of cool craft.
And before I go one more photo just because I love her so!

my not so little baby girl anymore Hannah
