my current wishlist...

Custom monkey with bow

a circus monkey by Dingogirl - she does them in lots of different colours but I'd like a pink one just like this.

bags of licorice

a bag of licorice allsorts by ScrumptiousDelight

Plush Brontosaurus

a plush brontosaurus by LEFTZ

Tippy loves public transport!

and a travel card holder by Felt Mistress. (I wouldn't mind Tippy as well but he's probably well out of my price range for now!)

can you guess what it is yet?

In my last blog post I said I was about to start working on something for my swap partner for the Strumpetscrumpets Valentines Swap - well I've just finished it! I want it to be a surprise for my partner when she gets it, so rather than show you the final thing I thought I'd show you a work in progress photo I took this afternoon.

Valentines Swap


I was reading the itsy bitsy spider's blog a couple of weeks ago and she mentioned that she was taking part in the Valentines swap over on the strumpets crumpets blog. Having just recieved my Russian Christmas swap I was feeling quite in the mood for another swap so I signed up too! My swap partner is Annie from Wattlebird - you can check out her Etsy shop here and her blog here. I'm just about to start making something for her...

The Cupcake Bunny



If you're feeling hungry and in need of something sweet, call the Cupcake Bunny and she'll bring you something to eat. She works at the bakery not far from here and her cupcakes are famous for bringing good cheer.


The Cupcake Bunny is available in my Etsy Shop.
