Dasiy worked with some t-shirt and molly owl scraps...



and created this baby owl ...



Mary helped me with a photo shoot of some smaller 'Digby' owls !

rat's the way we like it ...

our rat, sweetie, has recently had surgery to remove a lump, and altho i at first thought it was growing back, it doesnt appear to be ...
here she is, sniffing daisy's little hand ...



mary is very confident around animals ...



matty is reaching out to be sniffed, you can see the fur on sweetie's left-hand-side growing back already ...



matty and daisy love the camera ...

i am not sure i like this card i got in my veg box this week....
and is it only me that is disturbed to find myself apparently pulling wet wipes out of a babies, erm .... bottom?
thanks morrisons ....

baby-safe raggyrats ...

about time i made something cute and small, these have just arrived at my friends house, so i can show them here. she likes them so much she wants 2 more ...

no beads or plastic bits, i first made one of these for my daughter louise in 1998, and she still has it!

hope you like the NEW lables, this is the ONLY time i will ever buy school lables, by the way !

meanwhile .....

this might just be overloading my pram a bit .... !

happy birthday granny ....

took a few group shots to give to granny, and made some cards ourselves, daisy and matty love to wield berol karisma-colour pencils!

oh, thats curious george on the LHS there, thats not me !

why i owe you a reply/email/phone-call/letter/photo/fursuit...

nuff said?

new firsuit deadline of november ... im just making some claws in pvc now.

lady in waiting ... that's me!

a long time ago daisy adopted this pregnancy diary, and i have a picture of her holding it in a more pritistine condition in my flickr pics, crying because she was at a funny age and my sister was visiting ...

at first matty was not allowed to read it but it is now shareware, so thats ok, and they have a collection of things they can read in my magazine rack; a small catalogue, 2 pregnancy diaries and a slim, soft back usbourne book.

i didn't sleep well last night and so i am a bit fluffy today, we had a busy weekend as a family so it is good to rest! had a GREAT meal out last night, i ate enough for several little people and waddled along the sea-front afterwoods back to the car ....i probably ate too much as i had trouble getting comfortable in bed and was awake between 2 and 4am with a wriggly baby and a backache, and i know i am not a midwife but i cant find much head to ballot in my belly, i wonder does this mean anything might happen soon?

just finnished some art ... more about that tomorrow i promise :-) unless ... i am not here to blog tomorrow !!!!

flowers and more flowers ....

sorry i have negleted you for a bit dear readers/fans/stalkers ....

i have been pretty poorly, but steve bought me a huge bunch of flowers which have looked good for a week in my dining room :-)

the girls have learned how to climb up onthe garden bench - another thing to give daddy a heart attack with, esp if they stand up on there !!!

windfall apples make great toys too, although they dont bounce too well ....

i am making some thing very small with 'real fur', and have been chasing up some things for an exhibition i need to set up on monday ... now why did i have that silly idea? booked it ages ago and hardly have the energy for it now :-) i'll share it with you tho ....

Oh Blogger - I've Been Tagged!

but as i am always running around trying to catch up with things i am not going to do it, but feel free to read connie's (clothmatters), who tagged me, and do one your self if you like ... it just takes me ages to do a nice hot link, imagine pasting and fiddling with 5 friends!

and in the middle of making that lobster costume i got tagged by caroline of uniqart to do the '8 things' thing, and i loved the way she did hers with a blog entry and pic for each thing. my favorate was a lovely pic of her daughter. but of course in the middle of the lobster costume it was all sew, sew, sew followed by looking after my babies, and i hadly answered any emails and posted just enough so you wouldn't forget me!

anyway - in the spirit at least of being tagged - thanks connie and caroline for picking me ... anyway - im just going off to upload 8 pictures which will also be a bit of a 'round up', since after finnishing that lobster i 'crashed' and have felt rather ill ...

said good bye to my L reg fiesta at the end of last month ... we covered many hundered miles together and i will miss her. she was the first car bought just for me !!! and no - i didn't break it ....

a canadian fan of my work - i am soon about to make something really special for him, guy named chris :-)

a rat bag that was delayed by sea creatures got a lovely unique lining the other week, before being sent off in the mail ...

i make all my children help me with house work ... daisy is fond of putting knickers on her head even tho i say they are knickers, and not a hat ....

three blank canvases i need to get painted and collaged for phil in london .... soon ...

some ceramic painting i did with louise - she gave the striped mug to grandad-gerald for his borthday and he said he liked it ... we even have to fire them in the oven 24 hours after painting and it came out nice and shiney not brown and burned like i thought it would ...
the babies watching a man take down the corner post, and re-build it, to make my driveway wider for a newer car, last week ....
