The last few weeks

 Here's a few pictures of where I've been these last few weeks. The month started off nice and sunny but this week there has been loads of rain.

A Parcel from a Squirrel

It's always exciting to be part of a Plush Team swap! You just know you're going to get something fab, and this time was no exception. I got home one evening a couple of weeks ago and my Mother in Law said to me, 'you've got a parcel, it weighs nothing and it's from a squirrel!'

 I immediately ran upstairs to open the parcel knowing that this must be my Plush Team anniversary swap and that it was from none other than Squirrel Momma

And this is what I found inside! Lucky me :) Thank you so much Squirrel Momma :)

Posting Parcels

I seem to have got out of the habit of blogging - I guess life has been busy and I haven't had much time for making and baking. But in the time I have had, I have been getting things ready to post. This is my first parcel I sent off to PlushYou containing 2 lovely amigurumi dolls. Yesterday I sent a parcel to my Plush Team swap partner and hopefully today I'll send another parcel to PlushYou - just need to make time to put the finishing touches to that doll... And talking of PlushYou, there's an interview with me which went up on their blog last week. You can see it here.

Amigurumi Beach Friends

As a kid, a lot of my summer holidays were spent on the beach in France. As a tribute to those days and as my entry to the Plush Team Beach Challenge I present to you Monsieur Le Starfish and Monsieur Le Sandcastle! If you would like them to brighten up your day and bring back happy childhood memories of summers on the beach, they are available to buy from the Plush Team Shop.

Busy, busy...

I haven't blogged for ages :/ sorry about that! Time just seems to fly past at the moment! Just so that you know I haven't been lazy, here's some of what I've been doing lately. This is the beginnings of Monsieur Le Starfish who I am making as part of the latest Plush Team challenge.

And this is the beginnings of a dog which will be an accessory to one of the dolls I am making for Plush You 2012.

Summer fun continued...
