Knitted kitten and naughty kittens

I have started my knitted kitten and she is coming along, she has two ears and a tail but no body or head to attach it to yet. My stitch counter is here though so I can start them today.

As for my real kittens...I got Tom a lovely handmade glass police officer stood at traffic lights and we made sure to put it somewhere safe (at least we thought we did) but we returned home to find the time they had been allowed in the bedroom earlier in the day had resulted in him being knocked off his shelf. He is now laying on the shelf next to his traffic lights with a broken foot, I hope he's not expecting compensation for receiving an injury whilst on duty.

My latest cross stitch

This is my latest project. I am stitching it in greens though so it can go in our bedroom. The plan is to make 2 so we can have one either side of the bed. I think they're really pretty.

I finally finished my house!

I am so pleased with my finished cross stitch house. It's hanging just inside the front door so nobody can miss it on the way in. Very happy Lynsey today!

Wool

I found some lovely super chunky wool in a charity shop for a bargain price so I am going to learn to cable knit and make myself a scarf for the winter...summer as well at this rate!

The little secret project.

It's my sister Rheanne's birthday today so I have handed over my secret project. It's only little but I'm quite pleased with the result, I had no pattern after all and had to guess from a picture. Rheanne liked it aswell which is what I was planning on.

Holidays

We have been to Rome in the last week and now I am in Suffolk. I was spoilt in rome and surrounded by some wonderful art, absolutely beautiful stuff. Suffolk is also a treat as there are lots of local crafts exhibited around. I haven't got a lot to be doing myself but I've got a few ideas brewing in the think tank.

Oh, I ordered the knit a kit but it hasn't turned up yet, I hope it's there when I get home!
