Backyard Adventures

Once again I am back,
Today I took a look around my own yard to see what I could find.
Here are some of the results (minimal editing):

We found a toad in our garden, I named him Mr. Toad

A closer shot

Him finally getting tired of me handling and taking pictures of him,
He went to sun bath after this one and I left him alone

Sherlock's Adventures

Hello again,
As promised here are some of mine and Pocket Sherlock's adventures out on a shopping trip
In the car on our way

perusing a zombie survival guide, you never can be too careful

Testing out his pilates skills

found a book on some of his famous companions
(no we did not get the book but Rose's dress looked way cool)

Relaxing in a tiny terrarium

Thinking that Watson would love this set 

A wonderful book at chapters called the black book of colours,
all pages are black and on one side in braille and english explains what the colour is like
and on the other side is the item embossed so the child can feel what they are talking about
Sherlock Approves

We found a TARDIS, so therefore Pocket Sherlock took a look inside
no one was home

Trying not to fall down river

Proposing a ring

Doing some zen gardening

I hope you liked mine and Pocket Sherlock's adventures to the mall and stay tuned for further of my own adventures.

long hiatus

Hello, hello,
I'm sorry I have been on such a long hiatus but I was having some health issues, actually I still am but have not been feeling up to posting until now, so be prepared for tons of photos.
So I just went out and bought myself some metal stamping tools, so watch out as soon as I can get my hands on some old spoons I'll be punching it hard.

Next I decided I was going to make a princess paper pieced quilt


snow white

cinderella

tinkerbell

aurora

ariel

belle

jasmine

pocahontas

esmerelda
megara

mulan


jane

kida

this is my lay out for the quilt, I am working on Alice right now and still need to make
giselle, tiana, rapunzel, merida, elsa and anna

All these patterns can be found at fandom in stitches or at Misha29's site

I also tested the card soldier pattern for Misha29 as well

And lastly I made myself a pair of reversible fleece mittens, pretty awesome I think

Hope you enjoyed the pictures and I hope to have mine and pocket sherlock's recent adventure posted soon as well
