Sock Dog!

I've been trying to make time to try out a few new sock animals but everytime I think I might get a chance I end up getting an order  and make that instead!!  This weekend in between doing an order, I had a go at making a Sock Dog.  I wasn't sure I was going to like it whilst I was making the dog but it's grown on me and I actually love the quirky look it has!!!  It was harder than the kitty and the monkey as it was abit fiddly in places.

Here is the finished result

Fimo Cupcake & Ice Cream Earrings and Ring

Well - following my post yesterday about the moulds and the results, I decided to make some earrings and a ring with the charms that I had made.

I think they look really cute!!

Here is the ring - I've put this in my Facebook Shop priced at £3 with free postage.
Here are the earrings - these are also in my Facebook Shop priced at £2.50 with free postage.


Hope you like them!

Bag of Scraps!!

Last week I popped into the fabric shop in town to get some ribbons that I needed urgently.  I always have a rummage in the bargain bin and have picked up some nice bits from there.  Anyway, this time I found 2 small plastic bags of small bits of  fabric for 10p each!!!  I wasn't sure what was in the bag really but thought for that price I'd take a chance!  When I got home I emptied them out and tey were crammed full of fabric squares in lots of different textures and colours including velvet!!! 

Here are the bags

This is the contents of just one of the bags


I have been wanting to do patchwork for ages so this will be perfect for it!  I just need to find a template for a nice Hexagon now to start it!

Mini Silicone Moulds

It's been a long time since I played with my fimo!!!  I had been searching for some mini moulds to use with it and came across a fab site called A World of Moulds.  It's a family run business and they have a fantastic selection of moulds made from silicone that are easy to use.  They can also be used for making sugarcraft cake toppers, candles, soaps and melts as well.

Their website is quite new and they will be adding more things to it shortly.  The customer service is great and they answer any queries promptly.

There is a 10% discount code also - just type in AWOM01 at checkout.  They also take payment by paypal so really convenient!!!!

Here are the moulds that I bought


and here are the fimo pieces that I made using the moulds.  I still have to finish the Hello Kitty one and I should have done the nose yellow!!!!





Aren't they cute!!!!

These are the stamps that I bought


Can't wait to try them out soon!!!
