Well what a day. Twiglet went round to his girlyfriends for tea yesterday and had fun. Anyhoo, I spent most of last night getting up to him as he was crying in his sleep and felt poorly. He told us his neck hurt and he ached everywhere so we ended up at casualty at 6.30am this morning. He finally saw a doctor at 8am who checked him over and declared his tonsils are a bit inflamed and it is probably a viral infection, what a surprise. He had some Calpol (little minx wouldn't let us give him any) and soon picked up. He went on to have a lovely afternoon with Daddy looking around train museums while I went crafty shopping with my friend Helen. Bless him.
Well I've been making again whilst looking after my poorly boy this week. So, what is Marcus the fox looking at ? Is it the Mrs Chickens?
Is it Christmas guinea pig, brought down from the attic as Twiglet has decided it is NOW Christmas :)
Is it this Christmas card I made?
Or perhaps, this one?
Could it be the lovely stocking swap that I received from Lucey at Lemonade Kitty, thank you Lucey, lovely stuff indeed. Can you spot the pretty handmade stocking and little fairy, so cute.
Here's what I sent to Lucey.
Or perhaps it's the terrific booty that I bought at Kanban today for next to no money, talk about card porn. It will keep me going for ages and was very cheap indeed. Thanks for taking me Helen!!
Here's a close up of some of it , how cute??
Well, as long as Marcus isn't eyeing up Little Chicken, that's ok. Naughty Marcus.
Have a great week folks and watch out for dapper but very naughty foxes.
love

So before all the lurgy business we went for a lovely walk at the weekend in my favourite conditions, crisp, sunny wintery afternoons. Yes, I know my roots need doing, all taken care of now, I assure you.
My boys..................
Isn't the mushroom at the top of the page a fantastic colour? We walked along an old disused train track and went to have a look at a disused canal, am I alone in finding trees growing in still water really spooky?? Clumber Park really freaks me out in places. Yes, I'm sure it's just me.
Another idea I stole, I mean borrowed is from Vicky over at Anglesey Allsorts,she has made some fab reindeers and I fancied having a go. The fleece I used is from a little jacket Twiglet used to wear when he was a baby that I loved and couldn't part with. It seems fitting to make him a little friend that he can keep, made from it. Mr Twigs and I had a good laugh as he's a bit bow legged and as my Grandad would have said, he couldn't stop a pig in a ginnel :) Hope Twiglet likes him.
I've also been inspired by Solsticedreamer to stop wasting so much blardy time on Facebook, I only joined for a few weeks and thought what a waste of time, I must admit to the odd sneaky game of bejeweled blitz though. Thank you though for reminding me to go and do something REAL !!!!!!
How's the weather where you are? up here on top of our hill it is sooooooooooo windy and wet. my little greenhouse took a battering last night and has popped a panel and it's doors have come off, thanks goodness it's plastic rather than glass. It's blowing a gale up here tonight too. 
Well, two posts in one day, whatever next!! I wasn't going to buy any more fabric but fancied a bit of festive loveliness so feast your eyes on this (The Mabel Lucie Atwell print is soooooo cute, I used some of it to make Coppo the chicken).
Now this is a bundle of fabric from my stash, any ideas what I'm going to make? Well you'll have to wait and see won't you and I'll TRY to finish it before Christmas!!
Have a great weekend.
Hooray it's Friday, so what have I been making this week. Here's my first ever chicken, thanks to lovely Lynsey from Swirlyarts for advice, as you can see you do not have to worry about me stealing your Chick Meister crown :) Twiglet has christened her Coppo and wanted me to include a photo of her speaking to the doctor, because she lays eggs all day, every day !!! 
I also finally finished Twiglets denim jacket. (He wanted a pic of him in his new denim jacket, front and back !!! - that's his Friday face).
I like the way this turned out, it took weeks for Twiglet to decide between cars, cowboys or Stanley the dog!!!
Mr Twigs fantastic halloween ghost complete with red LED light eyes, v.spooky.
Bit of Christmas stitching by me.
Mr Twigs isn't a fan of sweet cakes (weirdo) so here we have birthday cake number 1. mascarpone cheese and grapes.
Cake number 2, pork pie!!
Had a spooky Halloween lunch.
Made a Charlie and Lola Halloween scene.
And had lots of cuddles. all in all a tiptop week. 
Well we've had a lovely weekend my Mum (Grandma Twiggy) and Nana and Grandad Twigs came over for a firework party on Saturday evening. (Above photo by Mr Twigs) My mum stayed over and we had a lovely wintery Sunday afternoon, a visit to a gorgeous museum at Cannon Hall, and a slap up Sunday roast, succulent free range chicken cooked by Mr Twigs followed by yummy countess pudding baked by me.
