MONDAY PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Hi everyone!

I haven't been able to do much art wise this past week due to having a very sick boyfriend to look after. He is back to work this week so I can get back into my art room. I started by trying to organise some stuff that I have been meaning to do for a while now. I wanted to make myself a little sewing needle book to keep all of my needles in one place. I was keeping them all in a zip lock bag and it was very annoying trying to find the one I wanted without getting pricked. So I finally got to work on one.

I really liked how mine turned out so I made three more to sell on my ETSY store. They are made out of felt so you just put your needle trough the pages inside. I also put a big button on the front so the case can be closed by pulling the braided floss attached to the back around it.

That's one job down, and many more to go :)

BACK TO WORK AND LITTLE VISITORS

I've been back in the sewing room this week making a couple more dolls. It has been slow going though because of some back pain, but I can't wait to see how they turn out. I decided to post some photos to show you my sewing room, it's not great but it does the job for now.

I even had a little visitor on my shoulder yesterday while I was stuffing some doll parts and listening to music.

I Introduce...ANNIE!

Alex and I own two lovely little budgies: Annie (girl) and Iggy (boy). Annie, who we have had for a couple of years now, loves to sit and watch me do my crafts especially when I have some music playing. I often open up their cage during the day and Annie will fly in and sit on my shoulder or watch me from the couch. We bought Iggy about a year after we got Annie and he still likes to stick to himself. They are great birds and without them my house would be very quite.

This is little Iggy
