The Gruffalo meets a mouse!

Hi there Jelly Babies

I'm back with lots of adorable pictures of Bella in her mousey costume! 

- She is the most beautiful little mouse ever!! 

I used Butterick 3772 - you can get it here- I used age 3, pattern A.

The ears are a polyester and wool mix felt from Calico Laine and the centre's are made from jersey.

She is too cute!! 

The costume is a little difficult to explain - I found it in the wool mix, weighing section in Abakhan but it feels like a faux fur. But it is super soft and a lovely, light grey colour so who cares what it is! Again the belly is pink jersey and the shoulders are fastened with shiny, silver jersey press studs. 

This is off my Instagram - And my absolute fave! 

Selfie of me as a mouse for you ;) 

IT IS 77 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS FOAKS!!! 

XOXO

POM-POM MANIA!!!

A couple of weeks ago I bought a knitting loom to make pom-poms! I probably should mention that I love pom-poms more than ice-cream, which it an awful lot haha! These little gadgets are great!! You just wrap the wool/ribbon/whatever you're using around the sides, cut and tie them and they hey presto you have yourself a cute fluffy pom-pom. I can't express how exciting it is honestly! 

Anyway I'll try not to nerd out too much and actually show you the cool contraption... 

So the way it works goes from the top left and round anti-clockwise to the top right where you finally get a pom-pom. It is very easy and very addictive, they take about 3 minutes to make and you can do it while watching the telly. 

I'm going to experiment with colours and materials too now I know what I'm doing, I'll keep you all posted on how it goes and what works well etc. 

Blog soon! 

XOXO
