I love it when a plan comes together........

Slowly that plan is starting to come together. Threw more stuff away today, and took another bag full to the charity shop. Will continue to work my way around the room! All my Studio Ghibli dvd's are now stacked nicely together on one shelf, and it does give me a warm glow inside to see them all stacked together. Really must invite Kezz and Naomi round to finish watching the craziness, that is Panda go Panda. You've gotta love the early Myazaki's :) I've seen plushies for Papa Panda and Baby Panda, but I must hold back, money to save for the holiday and all that. Plus I got Scooter back today from being repaired, so that was another £38, I hadn't allowed for boo! But to cheer me up, I took Dad to the cinema tonight to see The A-Team. Back when I was little, Saturday afternoons, The A-team, that was Dad and me time, sat on the sofa watching it together. Howling Mad Murdock was my favourite character, and after seeing the new film, that is still the case. I know alot of people have knocked it, but we both thought it was really good!! Funny, action packed, and you could tell the cast was having fun, and I always enjoy films more if you see that.
So I've just got back in, and have dealt with the fun task of getting the washing in, when I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. It was the biggest slug I have ever seen!!! Seriously, it was on the same scale as Jabba the Hut, Yuk! Don't know where they keep coming from at the moment!
Tomorrow I am hosting a Toystory Tea Party! Hannah and Simone are bringing the kids round, and we're going to watch the films, ( well attempt as all 3 kids are under 2 and a half, but we adults will enjoy). As anyone who knows me, knows I love a good theme, so I have got Toystory tableware, cake, chocs and each guest has a Toystory themed gift, wrapped in, you've guessed it, Toystory paper!!! I like going OTT! The thing that depressed me was, I was hunting everywhere for the dvds on my shelves, and eventually found the VIDEOS for both 1 and 2!!!! Sigh, I didn't think that the films or I was that old........... oh well!

You know when you start something.......................

Well I think I can safely state that I had forgotton how bad the attic was! I made Mum come round to help supervise me, which basically means shout at me whenever I begin to stray off task. Unfortunately she is still rocking in the corner, crying. I think it was combination of dead plant leaves on the floor, and the Teddy Bear who's head came off in my hands that pushed her over the edge! Anyway 5 full bin bags have been taken to the charity shop, 2 of which contained handbags, which I feel quite shaky about. My collection has now shrunk from 150 to about 130, shudder, but i'm sure they will quickly be replaced. For now, it gives the illusion that I have made space! Plus I finally found my Totoro bag, so yay! Also I have been able to sort out the shelves abit, so my Star Wars models have been able to spread out more, although typically my Queen Amidala model was too tall for the space made! Grr!
I also found the No Face Felt keyring that I made for one of the anime conventions a couple of years ago. I actually forgot how pleased I was with it, being modest and all.
I also had some treats today, the very kind people at Super Cute Kawaii sent me this very cute Milk purse, (long story involving me missing out on a competition prize). I am very pleased with it, look at his little face!
Also I was contacted by a guy called Steve from Radio Cumbria, who wants me to read out 5 days of my blog, for a section about people in cumbria, with varied interests! I have warned him that I lead a very quiet life, but he didn't seem to mind. So thats what i'm doing. Feel chuffed to have been noticed, but also nervous as I have to read it out, and i hate the sound of my own voice! Eek!

Inspiration!

Well I have a week off from work, well nearly a wekk, I need to go in and work saturday, but thats another story. So I'm hoping during this time off to sort my attic room out, and throw away lots and lots of old clothes and things. Eventually I want that room to become my geek room! That way I can move all my anime models etc up there, and my have my anime dvds displayed nicely. Thats the dream anyway. I'm also hoping that I will get a quiet moment to do some felt work, as I haven't done anything since my Scott Pilgrim, and I haven't had any orders for ages. I think I can safely say that I am in the middle of a dry spell :(
I have a few ideas, I want to do some more Sushi designs, and I have felt inspired after finally getting to watch Ponyo the other night!!! Such a cute film.
I did really like the character of Fujimoto, although he does make me think of a Drag Queen, lol!
Anyway, thats all for now, hopefully some pictures of new designs will be added soon!

Eeee Super Cute Kawaii are doing another give away, for some very cute books!!
I think that Strawberry Moshi should dress as fruit and Veg, and hide in Garden!!! :)

It's been a while longer....

Well finally I am able to post a picture of the Parrot keyring, that I made for my friends birthday present. I really like how bold the colours all look together! :)

Another friend asked me to make a Scott Pilgrim keyring as a joke, and the othet day I was bored, so using the plushie for inspiration, I decided to make a Scott head keyring! I was pretty pleased with the outcome, just waiting for some feedback from the die hard fans! Lol!

It's been a while

Well I haven't had much chance to post lately, or make anything really!! I have been so busy with work, I haven't had any time for myself!! Oh well, hopefully be able to catch up soon. It was my friends Carolines birthday, and I had bought her some colourful earrings, so to match I made he a nice bright Parrot keyring! ( will post a pic later).
In regards to something to really look forward to, Dave and I have booked a holiday to Budapest!! I'm loving the look of the homemade lace shops! Can't wait!!

Back to work.

So after a week off work, I am back, and as we were closed Bank Holiday Monday, we have been very, very busy. Which has left me quite tired so not been very creative so far this week!
The end of last week I did come up with a few items!
First I saw these fold away shopping bags, which I thought were extremely cute! I bought myself a couple, then felt inspired to buy a couple more, and make them a little felt friend to go with them!
I then made my first card, which for a first attempt I am very pleased with, and has made use of the flowers that fell off a gift bag! Waste not, want not.
Then last but not least, my Aunty Sally said she wpuld like a Giraffe keyring. Not one to shy away from a challenge, I gave it a go, and it has come out quite cute! I will be parcelling it up to send to her. Hope she likes it!
