Distractions

I think I may be having another little break from creative pursuits... I recently adopted three delightful little degus and they seem to be taking up all of my spare time - I never realised how long you could spend watching critters run around their cage/our spare room!

Meet Tyr, Ares and Set - our little gods of destruction

Oops I did it again...

So, what have I been up to lately? I've make some progress on my wallhanging, it's not going quite as well as I hoped but I think it will still be presentable when its finished; the legs on the bird got a touch on the fat side but hopefully once the whole things quilted it will look less odd!



Unfortunately I also appear to be well on my way to a teensy bear addiction! I recently found out that one of my friends is unwell and as I was writing a card to her I decided that what she needed was a small bear to cheer her up! So I made her one.



The only problem is that the more I think about it the more trouble I have finding anyone who wouldn't like a small bear in their life.....

Ain't he cute?

Due to a near total lack of sleep last night I decided it was best to avoid damaging my lovely new wallhanging so I went for something even lighter and fluffier this evening - making a little fabric bear!

Tanya showed some pictures of little tiny bears she had made with her english students and I rather feel in love with them so when she also posted instructions on how to make them I immediately filed them in my must-have folder.

And here is is - Batique the Bear (inspired naming ftw!)
