My latest obsession…

Originally uploaded by MaxsWorld

Making tiny balls of yarn and knitting needles has become seriously addictive. On the plus side I’ve sold a few, but on the down side it’s nowhere near enough to justify spending every waking minute thinking about it…!

Anyway at least it’s a lot of fun

If you’d like to fund this madness head over to one of my shops:

Having fun on Etsy

I joined etsy as a seller recently to show off my new knitting earrings but the best thing I’ve found is the community there. I’ve been having a lot of fun in the forums and found lots of people selling really awesome things! So I decided to put together a treasury showing off the great sellers who make miniature bits and pieces too. Have a closer look and check out the amazingly intricate work!

I let the moustache do the talking

I designed myself a new t-shirt recently with one of my fave catchphrases on it and ordered it from cafepress. It came yesterday and I’m sooooo pleased with it!
If you’d like to share the moustache fun times you can get yourself one from cafepress.com
Do you let the moustache do the talking?

Spring has sprung


It might still be really cold out and a few weeks until the official start of spring but the sun is out and I’m ready for springtime fun times! So is my new friend Benoit, we had a little photo shoot in the garden today. He had to wear his ‘bee-ret’ (hahaha) to keep warm though. More photos here.
