Cheers :)

A big thank you to all those who made me feel welcomed back from my little break. I have been sewing like the wind and have many new fun things to add to the swap shop ...if I don't get back to you with an email of these pics..its not because I don't love you but because I have no system yet of who I say hi to... I just pop over and say hi and then get lost in the land of blog. So please have a look at what I am about to post up in the shop and feel free to email or comment when something tickles your fancy.

I have come to the realisation that I won't be posting as often during these months where my hands (or rather the one which holds the mouse...does anyone else get 'mousehand'?) freeze off out here in the back room .... um I mean studio. The studio is so very uninviting, I think I have to hire a laptop just for winter....

I knew I was on a winner when I planned this swap stuff... check out some goodies I got from Pimienta Negra, Italy and Creature comforts, California!! I have been spoilt rotten...Thank you ...well, I have been doing my best to share with Moopy too.

A crocheted purse and collar... perfect for the winter freeze!

The cutest floppy bunny! and lollies, buttons, stickers....the list is endless.

I recently bought a sticker machine... pretty much one of the most exciting days of my life...and anyone who has been unfortunate enough to sit through my sticker presentation (starting from 1986) will understand my glee. So here are some fun stickers I have been making out of vintage and retro children's books. It was quite difficult to cut up some of the books, thinking someone else might treasure them and I had mangled them up with the scissors.

More pouches...

More bookmarks...

More kittens...

And here is un update on Moopy, she still only allows me to put her hair up for 2 minutes... so I had to be quick! I think she looks just like her dad....the look of innocense... it appears butter wouldn't melt in their mouths.. but that's their only defence mechanism.. I surely would have throttled them long ago if not for those innocent eyes.

I just have to pop over to the markets and then pick up moopy from CC and then I will put new stuff in the swap shop...

It's super early in the morning here in California, but I just wanted to say that it's nice to see you back again... and I'm so pleased that you've received your package all in one piece. I hope I won't miss all your new goodies after I go to bed. They dissapear so quickly! Well anyhow... take care, and hugs to you and yours from me and mine. Ez
