I decided to make a birthday card for my brother and chose a design that pictures him in a good light:

Heh heh....

Grow Your Blog Party 2014

I am excited to be joining in with this huge international blog-hopping party which has been arranged by Vicki from 2 Bags Full . The idea is that everyone who takes part posts a bit about themselves, and a huge (HUGE) list of participating blogs is put on Vicki's blog, and we all use that list to find lots of fabulous new blogs to read and follow. So, if you're new to my blog, here's a little bit about me. My name is Helen, and I live in the UK with my husband and two cats. I enjoy many different crafts - possibly too many, as I am always being distracted by shiny, sparkly, colourful things. For several years, my main craft activity has been making jewellery, but I also love making felt characters. I can't have favourites, so I'll just say that 'It's not unusual' for me to go back to this particular character time after time: Tiny Felt Tom Jones . What inspires me? It can be anything. I love colours, I like glitter and sparkles, and I love animal...

What's new, Pussycat?

So, if you had a free Saturday, a pile of felt squares, and Anchorman on DVD, what would you make? Yes, that's right, you'd make a small felt doll in the likeness of a celebrity. And that's exactly what I did. Not, as the Hubster guessed, Elvis, but the wonderful Mr Tom Jones: I am still thinking he needs a medallion, but I need to get more supplies for that. He was based loosely on this fantastic photo: I wasn't sure I could make the jacket, and I didn't want to make the doll *ahem* anatomically correct , if you get my meaning. But, not a bad effort all round.

Beaded wire-wrapped ring - a giveaway!

My last blog post was about our Crafteroo Pinterest Challenge , and I've made another item on my list - yay! It's another wire-wrapped ring - the tutorial is here . I've made a wire-wrapped ring before (see blog post about wire-wrapped jade ring ), but fancied trying another with some rather nice vintage bronze wire I have. So I made myself one: And then, just because I was feeling cocky, I made another. The second one is slightly bigger than the first (about US size 7, which means an inside diameter of about 17mm). So...I have a spare beaded ring, and I'm giving it away to one of you lovely readers! To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is leave me a comment on this post before 20:00 (CET) on Friday 3rd February 2012. Please make sure I am able to contact you so I can get your address if you win. I will randomly choose one person on 3rd Feb. to receive the ring. Good luck!
