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!

Day 09 - A Photo You Took.

This is a picture I too last year as part of the Little Visitor Swap Round 10 on Craftster.org.

The Little Visitor staying with me for the summer was Walter, the rainbow dinoaur. I took him to many places, including on a day trip to London to see the sights. This is Walter infront of Big Ben.

I took lots of pictures of Walter through-out his stay, and kept a blog of his adventures. You can view it here.

Jellyfish And Walter!

Walter's arrived!! He was dropped off by the postman on 3rd June and has settled in nicely! I have set up a seperate blog for him, which is here.

The 2 weeks are up on the testing for my Jellyfish Amigurumi Pattern, so I put it on sale today! Check it out here. I like to give all my ami's names, so I chose to call him Jacob lol! No reason, it just began with a J!

I've asked on Craftster.org for testers for my Tilly The Turtle ami pattern, and again I had lots of lovely people willing to test it out for me :o) I should have the pattern perfected in about 2 weeks time and then put up in my Etsy shop :o)

Road Trip And Birthdays

On Sunday this past weekend I went with my Mum and Dad up to Norfolk and Suffolk for the day. I love going out in the car on long journeys!

We stopped off near Norwich, Hemsby, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and 2 Little Chefs along the way lol!

We went on the beach at Lowestoft; if was lovely and warm that day so we took advantage of it. The water was freezing though, so we only had a paddle! I'm like a little kid when it comes to the sea side lol!

I wish my LV Walter could've been with me, I'm really looking forward to him arriving!

Today's my Mum's 50th Birthday. I gave her money towards some jewellery, a little personalized tin and an amigurumi cactus. We had take away for T. It's a tradition in our family to have take away for T on our birthdays! Also I bought myself a Nintendo Wii! It's really fun! My arms ache already from playing the boxing game lol! It's excellent stress relief!

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!
