The Collector.......

I must admit to being a bit of a collector and hoarder of stuff! I have got a lot better, but anything termed by me as ''good stuff'' is kept and not given away, chucked out or sold. This is a pic of my cabinet in the lounge. I used to collect dragons and myth and magic stuff but tend not to now, with the exception of Windstone dragons which I adore, and I'm always on the lookout for a bargain.

I'm also a collector of artist bears, although not so many these days, but I still have a fair few indoors. They are dotted all over the house. I just love these miniature fairy bears, and the little witch and cat. The witch is only about 2 inches and the fairies about 3". I've made miniature bears and can tell you they are harder than the bigger bears to sew, its all the turning the seams which is so fiddly. So I leave the bear making to my sister in law, who makes a much better job of it.

This little cutie is one of my favourites. His name is hedgely and his head wobbles about, and he is just the cutest.

This is a windstone dragon and wizard mouse, I just love the colours.

Well I had the afternoon off yesterday and today, but yesterday I made this outfit for my bunny when I make her. I thought I'd do it in reverse and make the outfit before the bunny, as I didn't fancy sewing on the machine so sat and sewed this by hand in front of the TV. It won't look right until its on the bunny, What do you think of the colours? I don't normally do yellow.

I've had a bit of a tidy up indoors today, but theres just so much to do. Everywhere I look I see something else that needs doing, and my house is bugging me at the moment. It just doesn't look how I want it too in my head, so think I may be scouring e-bay later for a bargain. I've already got a gorgeous eiderdown in my watch list, but doubt I'll win it, they just seem to be going for so much money.

Update on the CK bag. For some reason my online order didn't go through so I rang them today and ordered the spray flowers bucket bag. I spoke to a lovely lady on the phone, and asked her to send me some CK fabric samples too. I also enquired when the messenger bag will be in stock and she seemed to think within a week or so. Apparently half the girls in the CK office are after that particular bag, so I bet they are snapped up super quick.

Blimey you can't shut me up today. So I'll poodle off now to sort out Mr Pixies dinner.
