Trade Part II

Here's the second installment of ami's for the trade I'm doing on DA with Kat250 :D I re-made the Kokeshi Doll in, yep, pink!


And there's another Morris Mouth and pink Pillow Pal too


I think I've made everything now! Phew! My fingers ache from crocheting! But it's worth it for one of them fab dolls :) I will be sending a couple of extra bits too to say Thanks for being a great trade partner, but I can't post them here yet incase she see's hehe!

Let's Try Again

Right, I'm gonna try and post something properly today. If it doesn't work, I appologise :) To start off with I got a great package from my Amigurumi Addiction swap partner, Sewarty, on Craftster!

A Yeti!! Yay!! He's so lovely! Check out his little nipples lol! I love him!

I also got some yarn, sweeties, a crochet heart and beads!

Thank you so much Sewarty! I love everything! Also this week I took the plunge and bought my first Blythe!

She's a Simply Thumpty Thump - I don't know what I'm going to call her yet though :) I've wanted one for about a year now, but never went ahead and bought one. But after seeing Jills Simply Bubble Boom though I got so jealous I just had to get one lol! So alot of Thanks has to go to Jill!! :D I can't wait to make some cute clothes!!

Post Secrets 6 & 7

Back: 'I color code my planner and as stressed as everything might make me all the colors make me smile! (This is a nicer version of a month in my planner. Everything is there just with names/locations/cussing left out and actually legible for others than me. The real pages writing is something like this: Another real page but not as crazy)

I used to do this when I was at school with my weekly lesson planner! It made it nicer to look at :)


'He's an instigator. He's an attention whore. Bit I don't know what I'd do without my little man.'

I feel the same way about my pets. They play up alot of the time but I don't know what I'd do with out them, and dread the day they won't be here anymore.

Again, Thank you to the people that sent me these cards!

Post Secrets 3 & 4

Front: 'Old people make me feel unfomfortable'
Back: 'I feel so guilty about this because I even avoid my own grandmother'

Don't feel bad - there's a phobia of old people called Gerontophobia, it's quite common *hugs*

'I Want To Join The Club'

I've never seen Glee, but have seen it advertised on Channel 4. It looks like alot of fun!

Thank you to the people that sent me these lovely cards! I'm collecting them all up and sticking them on the back of my door!

Post Secret No.2

I recieved my second Post Secret on Saturday!


It reads: 'I bought a sewing machine in 2008, this is the first time I've used it. Hopefully I can improve in the future and not break anymore needles. People usually think I am an avid machine sewer when they see my machine... I don't correct them.'

I can relate to this card too - I bought a £1500 Gibson guitar a few years ago but have never really used it. People think I'm a great guitarist because I own a Gibson!

Thank you to the Craftster that sent me their secret :)

Post Secret No.1

Over on Craftster.org I am taking part in the latest round of the Post Secrets Swap.

The swap is inspired by the fab site Post Secrets, where anonymous people send in postcards with a secret written on them. I love this idea, so decided to join the swap.

I got my first card the other day, here it is:


It's a beautiful card, and I can totally relate with this person. Whoever you are - I hope you feel like you have catched up soon *hugs*.

More Post Secrets as I recieve them...

Little Visitor Swap 2010

Do you remember last year I took part in the Little Visitor Swap on Craftster.org? Well they're running the swap again this year and I'm gonna take part!

I loved doing this swap last year so I know it's gonna be loads of fun this time round! Last time I sent off Eddie the Eggbert...


... and hosted Walter the rainbow dinosaur from Minnesota, USA...


...I miss him! This year I'm sending Gladys the Monstie...


... and hosting Gus the Turkey from Australia!


Isn't he lovely?! We're gonna have lots of fun! I plan on taking him to London for a sightseeing tour, Basildon Shopping Centre for some retail therapy, Southend for a stroll down the pier and lots of other places! Plus if he arrives by the 15th June he's gonna go with me to see Aerosmith at The O2 and Green Day at Wembley Stadium! Yay!

I'm also gonna be starting a blog for him, like I did for Walter last year. I'll let you know when it's up and running!

LV Partners and Jellyfish Testers

The partners were announced for the LV Swap today; Eddie's going to America!! He's mega excited, he's going to be sent off tomorrow! Here he is getting ready for his long journey!

I'm hosting Walter the dinosaur for the summer! He's lovely! We're gonna have lots of fun; including my hoilday to Cyprus!

Two testers have finished testing my jellyfish pattern; they're both excellent!! We've had Gimpy from CrazyCristyC, and Rupert from MissFlynn, which you can see here.

Big Thanks to them both for testing it for me, and to all the testers! It's really helping me out!

Little Visitor Finished!

I finished my stuffie for the Little Visitor swap on Craftster! I decided on bright orange in the end, and called him Eddie!

Eddie is very happy go lucky, loves grapes, hates cheese and is addicted to watching Heroes!

We haven't got our partners yet for the swap, but when I send him off I've made a little book with all his likes and dislikes in it, and a history of The Eggberts! I hope my swap partner will love him, and I look forward to getting my LV!!
