Welcome to my blog!

I'm Lori and I love to craft. I cross stitch, knit and crochet and anything else that takes my fancy! I love to make amigurumi and other knitted and crocheted characters.
I live in the north east of England and when I'm not busy with thread or wool I love to read thrillers and watch things on the TV that make me laugh. I have a love of tattoos too and have quite a collection!

Busy, busy........and it's ami swap time!

Been a busy week this week! I'm still spending way too much time on my laptop trying to promote my new shops anywhere I can, hopefully when I get more used to this malarky I'll be able to spend way more time actually making things!

Firstly, if you look over to the right you'll see a facebook button, I bit the bullet and got me a page on there. I've always been a bit weird about joining FB but I have no real idea why! Anyway now I'm there :-) Also over to the right you'll see a button for CRAFTfest, I have a stall in this online Christmas craft fayre which is on the 26th and 27th of November. It'll be great for getting your Christmas pressies, there's going to be up to 150 stalls of hand made lovliness to buy from, all sorts of different crafts. It would be lovely if you could come and see us :-) Here's the link,  http://creative-connections.ning.com/


So now I have a shop on Folksy (here) as well as the etsy shop and the FB page and I think that'll be enough to be getting on with! I'm busy making things to list in them, almost finished a new witch at the moment, she just needs her hair on and she's done.


So I've been a bit busy! This means I'm a little late with this post for AMI SWAP TIME!!!! SO the swap for the end of last month was a fabulous one as ever, Steph sent me this utterly brilliant little girl in a kitty costume!


Isn't she fabulous!! Love the tiny kitten in her bag crocheted in thread :-) Thanks Steph I love this one so much! I made Steph a baby bunny with a felt flower on her ear....


which I'm happy to say she loved :-) And thanks Steph for taking the pic and sending it me after I totally forgot to take a photo before I posted it! Another gorgeous swap, it gets better and better and it's so lovely to get a present every month! Already planning this months ami.........

Well better get back to my witchy, she'll be cold without her hair on!

I love your exchange piece. How cute is that Cat girl and the kitten is adorable inside the bag.

What a sweet bunny with a felt flower. How cute.

I've just 'liked' your fb page. Great pics! I'm still working on mine, if you get a chance to pop over mine is TangledThreadsOnline. I have to say it becomes quite addictive! I'll have to see how to get the fb button on my blog too.
Good luck with the craft fayre.

Oh thats fantastic, how exciting, now we can do 'tiny knits' together, i have bought the pattern for the 'bee keepers quilt' and have made a couple of those, they are a bit fiddly and they do take a little while to do, so i am still not too sure whether to go for the whole thing or not...will ponder on that one some more,...but thats great that you liked her site, and i cant wait to see the knitted castle when you do it....
All the best Pixie x
