Fawn
Half way through the 'Fawn' pattern from gourmetamigugumi.com , i had a little trouble with some of the stitches (not afraid to tell you!) so i asked Beth for some help, she is awesome and replied back asap, so i wasn't stopped for long. The eyes i have used are a little larger, i think it works :)
i am starting legs soon... stay tuned :)

Been a long time...sorry :)
Well, well, well it has sure been a while!
2011 already!!!
I am going to be a little boring and play catch -up... tune in or out as you please... so hear goes.
Since i last blogged a lot has happened, where to start? (at the beginning lol)
I continued to make amigurumi, broadening my skills and all that. I still love GourmetAmigurumi and hope she is well, here site sure has had an update! looks great - check it out! I don't know if i told you or not? I purchased a fawn pattern off her, i was so excited! but am yet to actually make it! lol i will get there!
OK the main thing that has happened since we last chatted... i now have a Etsy.com website - Alleycatcraft.Etsy.com. So you can check that out too... all my crafty ideas and such! I have also been making cute singlets with designs on them and selling them in a designer shop in my home town, they have been well received and have kept me busy - another excuse as to why i haven't blogged. Some of the singlets are on my Etsy shop (you already know that because you have clicked on the hyperlink above :)).
My sister is in labour at the moment, so i am excited about being an aunt again!!! :) she is having a boy (her first), so i will be an aunt of two nephews. This has helped fuel my creative passion for craft and kept me on track... I have also been making mobiles out of felt, you can't find many mobiles that aren't manufactured from big companies around where i live, so i thought i would rectify the problem! I will post some pictures, i you like them or want me to make a custom one, convo me on my Etsy shop :).
I have been getting on with my art again, mainly in acrylic, although I really want to try H2O oils, i love oil paint although i am an impatient person and they take too long to dry (hence why i paint mainly in acrylic), the H2O's take longer than acrylics but faster than oils to dry and they are water clean-up! sound like just what i need :) and working in an art store gives me a ready supply, so if i like them i will let you know (may even do a step by step for you all to follow). so stay tuned ;)
An art show is coming up in my town soon, so i will also be busy painting for that, i will post some picks of my entry's for you to comment on ( good or bad is always welcome).
On to my cooking adventures, I have always wanted to make sourdough from scratch but when ever i started to research it, the process takes time and sounds so complex i always gave up! I finally started! I'm at work now, and as we speak the dough is rising (i hope ) at home! If it all works i am thinking about doing a step by step for all you fellow sourdough lovers!! It really isn't as hard as i thought, it's dare i say easy!!!!!! so keep turned for that too :)
Christmas was so great last year (2010) I made Christmas cake and pudding from scratch(ing) lol my nephew says scratching... anyway, they were awesome! and well received, i now have to make them every year *sigh
Also used Nigella Lawson's Christmas pie recipe and it was also well received find it here and i will blog the recipes of my pudding and cake later.
*Just in* My nephew was just born!!!!!! :)
OK, so don't want to be working right now but o-well! The visiting hours aren't until 2 anyway...
moving right along... Poppet turned 1 and had her 2nd Christmas (2010) she is well - i will post some more pics :)
I also worked with Fimo again last year, and loved it!! lol i made a whole heap of stuff at work with it and sold so much Fimo that day, lol. My mission is to get as many people back on Fimo as possible! *if you don't know what Fimo is stay tuned! Pics to come!
what else?
OK that's all i can think of at the moment, considering my nephew was just born i think i am doing well thinking at all!
Blog soon - promise!
