Maurice

This is the little amigurumi bear that I won in Caroline's draw! Isn't he lovely? Thank you Caroline - he's great!

As you know, I like things to have a name so I've called him Maurice (pronounced Moh-reece, like a French person would say it) and he's currently sitting on top of my monitor. He seems quite at home there.

Make sure you head on over to Caroline's blog and take a look at what she did with my Fugly beads from last week. I think she's worked wonders with them!

'Elegant'

Ecru and lilac beads. There's something quite chic and ladylike about these colours.

I can't believe how fast this year is going. It's the Flame Off on Saturday and I think it was about September time last year that it was first mentioned. Where does the time go?!

I had a lovely surprise on Monday night. I entered Caroline's prize draw on her blog and I actually won! I never win anything, unless you count a £5.00 WHSmith voucher when I was eleven and a Nintendo pin badge when I was fifteen. So thanks Caroline!
