Friday Fictions: The Cogs

Another longer one (relatively speaking). This one is about the machinery behind the workings of the universe, which is controlled by a little old man. I have had this story in my head since about the age of 10, and I have tried writing it again and again, once as a poem, once as a full scale book. I think this is the best version although the start of this could do with much improvement. But stick with it, it gets better!

Happy elephant

It has been suggested that I am a little niche in my craftings, a little bit too ... nerdy for a lot of people. So, here is something non geeky that I made for my bedroom. It hangs above the stairs where I will meet it at eye level every morning when I get up.

The elephant's ears and nose are 3D!



And after about 13 years of having a stuffed gorilla called Ronnie with no nose (no jokes), I finally got round to fixing him. He also had a nice fur brush as well, so Ronnie is feeling about as dapper as a 15 year old gorilla can feel. Happy Ronnie!

James Baxter! The horse!


From the moment the James Baxter Adventure Time episode aired until this very moment will be a period of time that shall henceforth be known as the period I didn't have a James Baxter embroidery hoop.

Ahh, that crazy horse, always cheering people up.

Oh my glob you guys. I was given 50 metal keyrings, so I guess I should get to it..

Friday Fiction: The Book

I have a slightly longer Friday Fiction for you this week.
The Book

This is a fairy-tale story of love and deception. Throughout the story, the narrative style meanders slightly (eg from fantasy to serious descriptions of human emotion), which I quite like, although I suspect it is a negative thing really
