....i have actually got to 200 followers, well just over 200 in fact....after three years of blogging (yes three years) i have 202 followers.....thank you thank you, all of you.....
....I think i may need a glass of something bubbly....
....So i think with this long awaited for achievement i shall have a GIVE AWAY......YaaaaaaaaaaaY...
....And i am going to give away, one of my 'Mad hatter watch brooches'.....YAAAAAAAY...
....lets say it again.......YAAAAAAAAAAAY.....
....So, if any one of my most splendiferous followers would like to nab themselves a 'Mad hatter watch brooch' just leave a comment...or two if you want, and i shall do a draw.....hmmmm when shall i do the draw......ummmmm......oh i know, how about February 14, valentines day.......
....So that's set then.....a give away, its been a while since i did one and i think this is a most excellent time for one......thank you again folks for following this little nook space of mine, you are all wonderful.....huggy hugs...xxxxxx
.....OK moving on, i don't know if i ever told you, but quite a lot of years ago i used to make 'puppets', yes 'puppets'.....and then i kinda stopped making 'puppets' as i discovered YARN....
....And i thought i might show you one of my 'puppets' that i still have, to you.....
....wanna see?.....her names Helga....
....shes a wee bit dusty, and she has a few chips here and there....
...oops, don't know why that picture came out blurred...
....she wears leather sandals...and has blue toe nails...(no idea why!)....
....bless her....she sits and watches me sow upstairs in my work room, she took possession of my fox scarf, i actually think it looks better on her....she has lots of dread locky type hair with beads and things sewn into it...
....there quite big dolls and are quite heavy too, every little bit of her has been made by me, and shes fully jointed too...
....this one is 'Morgaine', i never actually finished her, she still needs a bit of painting, and also some clothes....plus shoes......i would like to think that i will eventually finish her...one day....
...she has leather woven into her hair....
...and again the blue toe nails!....and a bit dusty too....
....so that's those....and now here is were i am at with my blanket......i have a feeling i may be doing this one for a long time....
....I have to say, i have been enjoying crocheting this one, its quite a quick pattern to churn out, and you can get three or four squares made in a short space of time....
....But its that same old story.......NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY.....
....So there you go...a give away, a puppet and a blanket....
....Have a lovely rest of the weekend folks, and see you again soon....
Huggy hugs
Pixie

Yay for you, that's a lot more than me! I must say Helga freaked me out for a moment when she popped up on screen but blue nail varnish rocks! And have you seriously only been knitting for 4 years because I've been doing it since I was 9 and can't do bugger all. Am jealous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet simple yet beautiful blanket that is, love the colours too, Helga looks fab and you are so right she is working that fox!
ReplyDeleteI'd love a chance to win one of your brooches please Pixie... Smiles Cass x
Helga is wonderful, and so is that blanket.
ReplyDeletePlease may I join in.........I would love to win one of your fabulous brooches

Congratulations!!! I must say I smiled when I found your blog and clicked to follow - I saw that you had 199 followers, so I was lucky to be 200! I'm amazed by your creativity, the puppets are beguiling and a teensy bit sinister (like many humans...) and fun all wrapped up into one wonderful work of art! I'll keep my fingers crossed that I win one of your gorgeous fobs...Chrissie x
ReplyDeleteHelga is wonderful and I think this post should inspire you to finish Morgaine, I love their blue nails! Your brooches are beautiful and I'd love the chance of winning one thank you, x
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your ladies. And i would also LOVE to win your watchbrooch. I am in France and hope that is not a problem....
ReplyDeleteYour puppets are amazing! Helga looks quite spiffy wearing the knitted fox scarf. Love the blanket too. I like the idea of a spot of color in the midst of a bigger block- not as many ends to weave in!
ReplyDeleteI love your little clocks, they remind me of The White Rabbit. And your puppets are fabulous! You are so creative whether it is yarn or cloth. Congrats on having 200 of us enthralled. x
ReplyDeleteI love those puppet girls - you must finish Morgaine shes gorgeous and I am sporting blue nails at the moment! Well done on reaching 202 followers and although my Mum and I already have a mad hatter brooch each I would love another one for my new blue coat so please include me in your giveaway. Karen xx

ReplyDeleteyou are a puppet maker??? how amazing is that and very very cool, would love to see some more pics of your girls... you clever maker x
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in Thailand, I saw many wonderful puppets, but I don't know why I didn't buy one and then the youngsters surprised me with a gorgeous one for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you last week, when at our craft bee, Mary showed us the dolls she had made with her daughter over the years.
I love your crochet blanket beautiful colours :)
