my creative space

My creative space

In my space today -

Fishing game - I have drawn up the pattern pieces and are currently in the process of writing instructions to share.  Check out Happy Dacks!  She's already made a set.  It's so exciting!

My quilt block - I haven't had a chance to do any more since my last post about it. Remember I mentioned about taking things slowly?  Well I've definitely done that!!  I intend to start working on it again this Friday when I baby sit for my lovely neighbours.

Starrberry berets - I've finished the purple one for my daughters creche teacher and have also finished Kylie's from 3 sheets who won my giveaway a couple of weeks back.  I'm posting Kylie's today.

Wuppets - yep, they've snuck into another shot but this time for a reason.  During the week I was delighted to discover that someone else out there has made some wuppets too.  I was so happy!  I have always wondered about drawing up a pattern for people to use but have never really taken the idea much further than that.  I think it would be a lot of fun to see a whole heap of felt portraits displayed somewhere be it on Flickr or in a gallery space.  What do you think?

And last of all a cup of coffee - I've started on another small project because I didn't have enough things to do!  Thankfully it doesn't take up too much time and is quite a bit of fun.  Let's see how long it takes me to forget to take a photo!!

Make sure visit the lovely Kirsty for more creative spaces.

Wuppets, do you think your maker is of the ADD crafter variety? If so, aren't you glad?

Lots of fun stuff here! So clever! :)

How the heck do you manage to do all that when you work full time? It's all looking magnifico (especially that hair on your quilt square). And that coffee is calling to me. I can tell it's precisely the way I like it.
