* 2 / 2012 *

I was intending to show you some photo's of our walk around the park today but they were all totally pants. It looked as though there was something right in the middle of the lens so every picture had a big blob right in the middle... oh well.
So instead I'll show you the boys stocking toys which I didn't think would get finished in time. I had started making them other things but then Gabe eventually told me what he had asked Santa for. He wouldn't tell us  at first as he said ' it was a secret'. He asked for three things, a polar bear, an Elf and a Santa Claus . The polar bear caused a mad rush around the town and we eventually found a little one in a cheap book shop. The Santa Claus was a chocolate one and the Elf, well as you can see I managed to make an Elf which has the original name of 'Elfie'.

I had started making Milo a stripy wolf in his favourite colours but then he became hooked on playing a game called Little Big Planet so Hub suggested making him a 'Sackboy' which is the  main character from the game. I hadn't been totally happy with the wolf idea so Sackboy it was and although I couldn't get the right zip he didn't come out too bad. Which reminds me I must add the wolf to my ever growing list of WIP's !!

If you are wondering about my new header photo which I think is absolutely gorgeous, all credit goes to my dad who took it. I haven't taken any that I like recently,  my photography has gone right down the pan unfortunately, so another note to self..... must try harder.
