Baa baa wolly sheep

My sister Thelma doesn't like to knit .. But she fell I love with this cute little sheep that came free in a current knitting magazine.





The kit had the wool needles and even the little eyes for the sheep.





I started making the head first .... Then added the two ears .....





I then made the body and the four wee legs. Now for some stuffing and the sewing up.

Spring has sprung !

It's official .. Today is Mothering Sunday here in the UK.






Mother Nature has let me know that Spring is back and is loud and proud.





Just loving my bulbs and shrubs in the afternoon sunshine.





Whatever your doing for your Mother or your children are celebrating with you today...





Have a great sunshiney happy Mother's Day.

Mother's Day

Tomorrow is Mother's Day .. So here is the card I have made for my Mum.




I have used a nice diamond embosing folder to create a textured background.
The ribbon was given to me by a friend.

The background was created using simple plain cream card highlighted with several colours of Pan Pastels for a muted effect.



I purchased the little wooden bird at the Paperworks Dungannon ... I think it was from a collection from Prima .

Baby Izobel baptism

Today we headed to Co Offally for my nieces baptism

I made her this really soft cuddle blanket with James Brett yarn.











The pattern was a simple alternating 4 stitch repeat which creates the checkerboard effect.





Izobel and her Mummy were very pleased with their present.
