Another "visitor" and more making!!!

the wind here has been waking me in the very early hours for the last few days and yesterday I came into the lounge and yes you've guessed it another mouse!!!  Last night a trap placed in there and door closed and this morning trap again sprung.  I am not a happy bunny and think I am just going to nag and nag until DH gives in and we get a cat again.  I think with so many abandoned cats it might be nice to get one already house trained and not a kitten.... But don't know what pupster will do.....oh dear .....decisions ..decisions...I just hate the thought of mice!

Yesterday what a jolly time me and my sweetheart had.  We nipped into the annex grabbed a basket of goodies  and spent hours making ....



Patchwork small cushions


Crochet  wrist warmers finished,
just need to add some pretty buttons 
I think


I am so pleased that I have made this 
Little chap. 
The pattern is by Alan Dart and is available 
on his website.
Little chap comes in 3 sizes.
As you know from my garden ornaments 
I love gnomes.
When I have time I hope to make another 
But I am a very slow knitter 




These we made together.
Little miss put the hanging bead decorations
Together..I think she has quite
"An eye" for nice combinations.


I still have a pile of sewing to do.





Yes I know cross stitch 
(At last!!!)



All Lizzie Kate designs 
and the Santa button is ceramic 
and so cute.


Today after setting the "visitor" free, 
we plan to do some fabric printing
using some fabric ink and 
Christmas stamps.
Something we haven't done before 
and should be fun
and definitely bound to be
messy!!

See you soon

    very strange that the Sept 20 post just appeared in my e-mail and not this above post.... as usual love all your makes. Today I have sewed a skirt, a pair of short pj pants and a pair of long pj pants all for summer for me. Fab to sew all day long! And started some Christmas bunting too. I must get my cross stitch out too - I like the Lizzie Kate patterns you do.

    Growing up in the country, mice are pest, they get every where, a cat would be the best, and they will get on well together, once your dog realises the cat is not his toy.

    If you do get a cat then squirt baby talcum on the rear of pupster and of the new addition. It helps make them smell the same and cuts down on some of the territorial behaviour, You do have to keep squirting the baby powder on until they get used to one another. You have been busy with the sewing and bits. Looks lovely.

    What lovely things you and your daughter have been making. It was LOVELY to meet you yesterday, and many thanks for the little cup cake clips. I can see I will have to try some card making now!

    I hope you will soon be showing what you have made with the goodies you bought yesterday. I, meanwhile, will have to set aside more time for crafting as everything is stacking up!!!
