Happy 75th birthday Dad!
Wish your ears could hear, your eyes see, and your arms still hug with the strength that God gave them.
... and I wish you could have met your grandsons.

My Creative Space - Vintage Wallpaper
I've been playing with some colour combinations of card stock and vintage wallpaper. They aren't my usual colours that I like to go for (My style is more summery/fruity), but I figure I need to stretch myself occasionally instead of just sitting in my usual comfortable groove.
What do you think? Are there any that you like the combination of? Should I change some? Am I completely out of my mind with these ones?
For more creative spaces, drop in to Kirsty's.

Diet Donuts
Look out Krispy Kreme! These one's won't be landing on my hips any time soon!
I finished the donut for Jellyfish on October 4 - which was a long weekend here.This is Little Clam's donut. I made the icing bigger on it (a little too big - I had to trim it because it was puckering and it just looked wrong), and instead of using dashes and french knots, I just used french knots this time as I thought they would appeal to the little guy more.
It took me a week and a half to get around to actually photographing it. Sorry. With Mr. Kelp away last week (9 days to be precise) I didn't really get anywhere near either the camera or my blog! I'm considering posting a tutorial on them... they are pretty straight forward though - you could probably do it all by yourself :) I am seriously considering making some felt fruit to give a more balanced "morning tea". One project at a time! :)
While outside enjoying my cuppa, I got distracted watching this little fella... I had to share him with you.
Enjoy your day! :)

Love and Kisses Crochet Hat
It's finished! The aida fabric styled hat crocheted for my niece. It's for her birthday which is some time away yet (Just hope she doesn't grow too big a head in the mean time!). To be honest I finished the crocheting part AGES ago, but since it needed to be put together and embroidered, it has been sitting on the UFO list (as Karen likes to call it). I finished the embroidery last night - and it wasn't until I'd done the last little kiss that I realised that I had done it on the wrong face of the beanie! Aagghh! So it is going to sit on the sidelines for a while longer till I decide if I am going to undo all the little crosses and start again.
The pattern is found here. If you are thinking of making one to gift and don't have the exact measurement of the kid, check out this size chart for some helpful tips.
Happy Monday!
