All talk and no pyjamas

After much discussion and hype, I have finally produced some real life craft!

Firstly, I spent a bangin' Friday night sewing a felt Canadian goose whilst Becky continued work on (what is fast becoming an epic) the 'I Am The Walrus' cross stitch. This was inspired by last week's re-mastered Beatles albums hootenanny on BBC (we watched Help! while crafting: crazy shit and I now fancy all The Beatles - except Ringo obv..)

So the Canadian goose is now all finished and is the beginning of a range of bird brooches that will eventually include flamingos and swallows. Becky has already done a lovely little blue tit brooch and I have attached a couple of pics to highlight our "artistic genius".










Saturday was Holli's (2)4th Birthday Bonanza, featuring face painting, a bouncy castle and the surprise formation of up and coming musical sensation The Rogan Brothers. Becky made some delicious ice cream cupcakes, which looked so amazingly ice cream-esque that several party-goers were fooled into thinking they were magical non-melting ice creams... (shout out to Mrs & Mrs Bojangles super fan and freelance astronaut AL64)












I produced some hungover induced streaks of brilliance on Sunday - mainly a Russian Doll canvas with lots of bits of stuff stuck on it. Wickedo. Also - shrinkles are no longer my friend. Can't quite seem to figure out the best way to get colour on these - felt tips go streaky and paint goes all mental in the oven. But I shall persevere with this! Craft ahoy!















Muchos love,

  1. While mentioning my idiocy is greatly appreciated, can you remove my real name please, I'm wanted by many governments and drug cartels.

  2. Done and done. While I was at it I've plugged your availability as an astronaut. Watch the offers come flooding in.

  3. Hooray! Thanks for the advertising space, I hope some of The Bunch are in need of an astronaut.
