Not So Prickly Customers...

 I crocheted this adorable cacti collection this week, pattern from the book Whimsical Stitches.  This is a birthday surprise for someone who really loves their plants...

Grazer...

I completed this yesterday - bear 128 Grazer in watercolour on paper.  This is a private commission and will be a surprise gift for someone - wish I could be there when they open the parcel!

Next up, more bears...

Slight Change...

I've been sewing Otis stuffed toys for a few years now, but have always been very aware that the fabric I used did not match the real bear's fur exactly.  People didn't seem to mind, and I could not find an alternative, so I carried on.  However, the other day while at Hobbycraft, I discovered a fur fabric that was almost perfect!

 So I have made a new and improved Otis!  I am very happy with the end result - this one already has a home, but there are 4 more in the pipeline.

You watch though, next time I go to Hobbycraft, there will be no more of this fabric...

Which Of The 7 Dwarves Are You?

 I got given the brilliant book Knitting With Disney for Christmas...this is my first make.  Just about sums it all up really...
