Felties

Hello Everyone :)

Hope you have all had a good week and weekend. The weeks just seem to keep flying by and I find myself struggling between revision for my exams and finding time to relax a little bit. I have had a little bit of time to indulge in one of my new hobbies. I find that making these cute little creatures is very therapeutic and so far I have a growing collection. :) I gave my boyfriend one for our anniversary, which I will pop a picture up of as well as the ones that I've made so far. 

So I shall stop talking in the abstract and show you some pictures. 

The ALIEN I made for my Boyfriend

Babushka, made 12/4/2013

Mr Fox, made 4/4/2013

Mushroom Girl, made 14/4/2013

Mushroom Girl 2, made 14/4/2013

Back of Mushroom Girl 2

These were all made from a book called 'Felties - How to Make 18 Cute and Fuzzy Friends'. I have also made a couple of felt owls in various sizes and I might find a photo of those to show at a later date. I really like these little creatures a lot. :) I can be so creative with them too and I'm planning on making variations as gifts and things. People keep saying I should look into selling them. What do you all think? :) 

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll talk to you all again soon.

Whitby Weekend :)

Hello Everyone! 

Our lovely B&B room

It's been a wonderful weekend hasn't it? Well it has for myself anyway. The weather has been lovely, little cool but sunny and dry and that's what I needed this weekend. My boyfriend and I headed off to Whitby for the weekend, starting Friday morning and back Sunday night. We will be celebrating our first anniversary on Tuesday 9th April (tomorrow). :P Going away was so fantastic. We stayed in a lovely little B&B, in a purple (my favourite colour) with a beautiful feature wall that looked like a bookshelf. We were about a ten minute walk from the centre of Whitby, and got to the sea front in five minutes. Whitby is such a beautiful place. 

Whitby Abbey (Didn't see Dracula. :/)

We went up to the Abbey, up all 198 steps. I'm not usually a walking person but I've walked quite a bit this weekend and its been fantastic. We went to Captain Cook's Museum, the house he lived in while in Whitby and we wandered around the shops for two days. We had fish and chips at Magpie's, a 'famous' restaurant that we managed to miss the line for and head straight in to eat. We also had a lovely meal on Saturday evening and spent both evenings in a pub over the bridge that crosses the river Esk that runs through Whitby.

Whitby Pier

On the Sunday we went to Eden Camp, a WW1 history museum that has been set up in an old POW camp. It near Scarborough and on the way home so it was a perfect place to visit on the way home. I've been about three times now, and I learn a little more every time I go.

It was a lovely weekend, I had so much fun and we got to relax and wander about at will. We wander along the pier too, which I wasn't to comfortable with. It seemed a little rickety to me. :)

My boyfriend and I are planning on spending the actual day of our anniversary just wandering about the city, spending a bit more time together. :P It's so much fun, so relaxing and so...just so good to spend time together. :) Going to have to take a few more weekend trips away I think. Definitely something to look forward too, even if just the planning of it. :) 

So Sweet! :)

Take care all. Talk to you soon.
