Once again I have a camera

So now I can show you what I've been working on....

Slugs! Slugs! Slugs!

But not ordinary, garden-variety slugs.
These are fridge slugs!

And, as you can see, I'm over-run with the little beasties. So I'm giving some away. If you have a fridge, email me your address and I'll post you a randomly selected slug.

They are made from new polar fleece with vintage button eyes and filled with polyester fibre. The magnet is sewn in on the inside so it won't scratch your fridge.

Five faves, week two

I'm loving this 5 faves thing started on Meet me at Mikes. It's so positive.
Here are my five for this week:

1. 'Bobby Dazzler's make your own misfits' book. It has 35 patterns for softies including this slug that I made. Slimy. Slimy.


2. Bento lunch box bands. I bought this cute blue one that has "happy balloon" printed on it. I put it around my diary to keep all those extra notes, tickets, photos etc from falling out. Ingenious! Thanks to Craftster here's how to make one.


3. Another book - 'The creative habit' by Twyla Tharp - to help get your creative yah-yahs out.

4. My pantry! Over Easter it got emptied, cleaned, decluttered, re-organised, re-packaged and labeled. It actually looks pretty much how it used to but now I can find stuff. I stand at the door gazing into its depths of orderliness.

5. Bruce the bull terrier (my most favourite dog breed) as seen on Astulabee - one of my favourite blogs. He is so adorable. More photos here.
