Fratchy

Uni out of the way for the year - except for those two final assessment marks - I was thinking, "More time to do stuff." Yeah, rightio.

As much as I have good intentions when I get home from work, I do spend a lot of time de-working. But, it's not December yet and I am well on the way to finishing the presents for Asta's kiddies.

As well as the sock monkeys (previous posts), I zipped up this little creation on the weekend -




Got the idea for the little monsters from a Flicker Group, Monsters for Mirabel was the tag I think. The bag comes from Sooz, and while it didn't work out exactly the way I intended, I think it's okay. I mean, it's round shaped. I'm thinking of a bigger - much bigger - mat for the boys, something with boy stuff, like rocketships and cars on it. Maybe.

The flower mobile is crawling, cos I sort of don't like it at the moment. I'll have to slug it out one night soon though...

Anways, dreaming of this is helping at the moment too. I'm taking three weeks holiday, but only have to use 9 annual leave days! Woo. What to do?




Yes, lots of the Jervis I should think. Lots of the beach. Mm, better go for a walk or a ride...

Two Posts in One Weekend!

Yep, I'm posting again. Mainly because I'm a little bored and also because now that uni is almost finished for the year, I'm feeling this odd sort of vaccuum where I used to procrastinate not doing uni work. Weird, since I've still got to finish some work on the forum, and the last assignment hasn't been submitted, though I've done my bit, it's up to the other group members to finish theirs now.

So, come Friday evening, finished for the year! Hmm.

See what I've been doing while trying to complete assignments:





The two monkey brothers are for Asta's boys, Nathaniel and Isaac. Hope they like them. They may consider themselves too old for such things, but they are pretty charming, so we'll see.

The felt flower is part of a mobile I'm doing, of flowers for little Jasmine. I've done two now, and starting on some little white ones, that kind of resemble jasmine flowers. Yeah, we'll see about that.

I Can't Help Liking Minature Things

Got home from work, and is Friday, collapsed on lounge and have not moved since.

Went on a craft blog tour though, checked up on some of my favourites, and Sooz, who I think is great, found this lovely little shop - In MELBOURNE dammit - called 'Little Kitchen'. Seems they do organic cooking classes for kiddies, and it all looks fabolous, just in Melbourne. But, they do have an online store. And, if I could work out how to imbed links, I'd include it here...

that's the best I can do n a Friday evening though. Think will get a few things, like the mini potato masher, for Christmas party prizes.

Have started work on jasmine flowers for the mobile for baby Jasmine Ellen. I'm not great at them, but the leaves tend to curl up and this could work in my favour,,, after all, the jasmine flowers are just novel, the big flowers are multi-coloured and I dont think any type of real flower.

Rambling. Yep.
