I'M STILL HERE!!!!!!

  I know I haven't been around for ages but family life has got in the way of my blogging and craftingMy little princess Tilly is just a monthish from being 1 - I can't believe it - the months have flown by!!!  She's just started walking - she looks adorable wobbling about!
 

Elliot has grown too - he's 2 1/2 now - he is obsessed with dogs and crawls about the house barking!

 .
  Since I've been away from blogland I've developed a new addiction - felt!!!  I love how simple it is to create cute things with no sewing skills whatsoever!!  Anyway I thought I'd show you a few of my makes!

  This is a cute little owl that I made for my Mum for xmas.  The pattern came from this great book - its got loads of ideas for xmas makes - they're releasing a second book in June and I've already pre-ordered it!

Here is another xmas decoration that I made - the pattern is from the same book as the owl.



And here is my scary zombie - I got the pattern for him from this fab book.

 
I also stitched some felt flowers and layered them to use for the centrepiece of a card:
