Oooooops,  I didn’t mean to leave it so long to make a post and update you guys from Critterville.  I am not sure what happened exactly,  I’ll blame it on these guys

They are rotters after all.   I can’t believe it’s finally getting close to Spring (not that you can tell from outside)  but making Easter-ie goodies always gets my mind ticking over in anticipation for Spring,   YIPPEEEE finally .

So other than the rotters which I will of course add to the shop…… I also have been working on a big guy

About time right?  I still  haven’t quite finished him though so this is just a teaser,  I just didn’t want you guys to think I’d been slacking.   I also remembered just how much I love making the big guys.

Alrighty back to work,  can’t wait to show you my latest commission……..a hint?  ok well it involves star wars and old and new……..cryptic enough for you?  guess you’ll just have to wait and see won’t you ; )

Last Saturday we headed into Madison and I got some fantastic hand painted roving from the knitting tree.  Now I am notorious for falling in love with wacky roving then either not using it for fear of not having enough to finish a project (it’s near impossible to get the same colours ever again) or just not having a clue how to use it to its advantage…… and so it sits unused in my rather large collection of wool a rather expensive testament at my serious lack of imagination.  But can you blame me for having to purchase this time?

How pretty is that?  I think the woman in the store was rather disappointed to hear I wasn’t going to spin it and instead turn it into Easter Peepers

I really love how he turned out…. every time you turn him he’s a different composition of colours just like a real birdie,  although he may not be that Easter(ie)  oh well.

I was hoping to go to Madison today to go crafting at Anthology.  I really want to make the brass stamp charms that they do but Floyd (middle cat)  has been having mold issues (it’s the weirdest thing he’s like a peach) so I had to cancel my plans to tend to his chin instead (does anyone know anything about moldy cats? )

Speaking of Anthology it’s their one year birthday on the 14th,  so if you are in Madison head on over there for some cake and crafting details can be found on their blog.

to good eggs,  you get the lil rotters……

The coming of Spring (fingers crossed) has encouraged me to finally start cleaning.  I had noticed the giggles and whispers and constant shushing coming from the crisper in the fridge for quite a while……and wouldn’t you just know it the eggs had gone bad……..well maybe not bad but definately a little rotten.   Oh well maybe they will get less stinky if I let them socialise a bit.

But I doubt it.
