An Alternative Gift Bag!

I have made this bag as a gift for a dear friend following this pattern (Dots little Ditty Bag!) - I have made it a little taller so that I could get what I wanted into it and also added a flower brooch :-)

I am loving crochet!

The yarn is from here and a bargain!

The gift cards I had made at Moo - I love this store - everything is so professionally finished - check it out!

OK - back to the hook - I have a rather large afghan blanket on the go right now!

Reptiles!

Me best buddies son had a Birthday on the 22nd and he has a thing for anything reptilian!  Its certainly interesting going round to their home - Its amazing what you do for your kids, I would never have thought that me buddlet would agree to pets - now they have a Gecko, a Snake  and  a dog!

Anyhow I saw this stamp ages ago and knew it would be great for him so here's a card I made with it.
I have followed the sketch on Saturday Sketch - this was last weeks sketch - oops - forgot to post it in time! LOL.
Ingredients
DPs - Basic Grey - Wags and Whiskers
Stamp is from Magnolia coloured with watercolour pencils
Lots of Walnut stain distress ink and stickles
Sentiment is from craftwork cards

I have entered the card into the following challenges

The Creative Cottage Challenge where the theme is Touchy Feely - lots of paper distressing and distress stickles!
Papertake Weekly where the theme is Cutie Patootie - hes a cutiepie - as is the recipient of the card! XX

Finishing - and starting projects! And a B****y good lunch on Friday!

OK, so me Dragons' finished and now has a new home!  Here he/she is - name unknown! Here is the pattern I attempted to follow.

Also the scarf has been tasselled - was easier than I thought to do!
Here it is in all its glory!

I also had a stab at one of Brie's rapid rabbits - mine is not as cute as hers :-( but he is a first and does look rather zany - maybe they take on their creators persona?!!!!

I had a great day on Friday -I  met a friend for lunch - haven't seen her in ages - so it was non stop information sharing - in fact we were the last out.
We dined at the 3Acres Inn in Shelley, near Huddersfield - absolutely gorgeous grub - go there if you can - but book first - very popular!
So, instead of getting on with projects that need finishing, I start another as a wee gift for her. watch this space!

I did plan on going to the Summer Crafting event at Doncaster Racecourse this weekend but I am skint and it would be torture going knowing I can't really spend on goodies :-((( - that's life.
If you go I would love to read about it and see piccies :-))
