Feathers in a flap!!

wow what a mad month its been...ive been stressed, moody and had no time for crafting...but thats all over now :) till September :D which means i can get my craft on once again!!!
 i had a lovely surprise 2 weeks ago i won a competition ran by the lovely Handmade by H, and i was so pleased with my prizes seen below. in fact i was so impressed with the quality of my prizes i have ordered a cuff :) as soon as it arrives i will put up a pic :)

I have managed to make a few bits , i made a Budgie, which took about 2 hours to make and was very easy.

 i have also been knitting a Amish Doll, it's traditional not to put a face on the doll. this chap took me ages to knit he is about 14-16 inches tall. although he is great i don't think i would knit him again as i got bored and wished i hadn't started him :( i think he would be better if he was about 7 inches tall, personally..... so i spent ages knitting this chap only for my Dog to chew him up the day after i had finished him!!

tending to his 'erbs

 i also still have Queenie and her royal flush popping up every so often...bound to happen given that its soon to be jubilee time!

Queenie made by me & the loo made by alithealiencrochet

i have also made a few gnomes one of which is seen below, one has been called Norman and is going to hang around in a car as a career  :)

i have also made Lady Nibbles, she is to be joined by her Husband lord Nibbles very soon :)

 

and i also have just started a Knitted camper van for a customer, so hopefully that will be ready in a few weeks ;)

So as you can see i have been de-stressing with lots of small projects. id just like to give a few shout outs to some pages on face book and some blogs that i feel give that little bit extra.
