Ylva's crafty corner

Took the car for MOT, went into town and walked around...called to see if the car was ready and found out that the car failed MISERABLY!!! So, I could not even drive the car home (MOT had expired) so it is still at the garage...we will have to decide on trying to fix it or selling it for scrap and getting a new used car... Money money money...

I was given the Liebster Award by Julie over at  Julie's and Yes Dear's Ravings blog  ! Wow! Thank you Julie! I really do appreciate the award:) And, as I understand it, I am to pay it forward, so here is my list of five blogs (bloggers) I am awarding: 1) Becca over at  Bryan House Quilts  as I am so inspired by her to create quilts (I am a complete beginner); 2) Yvonne over at  Boxoftrix  as she is like me in her love of a variety of crafts (although more talented than me); and 3) Linda over at  Billabongs2bling  who also inspires me with her explorations of needle crafts (very talented); and 4) Dian over at  Dians Beach Textiles  who has shown me what a variety of products you can use in your crafts; and 5) Maggie over at  Magstitch  who makes me want to be brave at trying different crafts and materials. Like Julie, I found it difficult to limit myself. I have collected quite a number of blogs that I follow as each...

  Some cute statues in Beauly - the left one was swapped for the right one about two weeks ago.

Last night I started feeling pain on the left side of my throat when I was swallowing...by the time I went to bed I could taste that I had tonsillitis...so...tonsillitis it is, penicillin it is and I am aching all over...every joint in my body is hurting. But, I tried to go have a rest as I felt cr*p, but could not sleep...stayed there for probably an hour, then I got up and took a long HOT shower and am now going to have a cuppa tea and a bit of coffee cake before it is time to take penicillin and painkillers... I have put things up for sale on Ebay as I realized I have tons of charts and a few other things I have no need/use for. Fingers crossed I sell enough to cover the charges...a bit of a profit would be lovely of course...:)

 Oh...I need a nose for the penguin...tried to make one out of clay, but it just did not look right...  What do you think of the fabric choices on the below pieces? Two of them have no fabric with them because I plan to use washed out denim for them...Not sure I am happy with the two red fabrics...considering swapping them round...any thoughts?

Cleaned and ironed, waiting to dry on the kitchen table, and will then be made into a wall hanging...just hoping I have enough fabric to finish it... My hubby is holding it up. It is MASSIVE...:)
