Fads and things with wings

I am a fad person, I do things for a couple of weeks and promptly grow bored of them or forget about them.  I forgot about my blog.

My most recent project was a kindle cover for my friend's birthday.  I used this great pattern.

I then added 3 little applique owls.  I made those up as I went along.

My stitching is a little wonky in places but it was an easy make, a good option for gifts and the likes.



Just before Christmas I found this pattern and thought it was too cute.  It inspired me to make holiday penguins for my friends, as in penguins on their holidays.  Also, stereotypes shmereotypes, I may well make one in a kilt and "see you jimmy" hat just to make a point.  So without further ado, meet Claude and Clive:



That will have to do for now, though I shall have to update again with my science crochet amongst other things.

I will leave you with this post script: I have discovered the secret to making American style cookie dough and that is to bind with condensed milk rather than an egg.  Bye bye waistline, I never really loved you anyway.
