More Felty Makes and Gifts

Well, it has to be said I'm still addicted to making my felty rings, they are just too cute, here are my latest batch...

I do get addicted to something then do it to death and move on; enough rings already!

I had a visit from my lovely friend Nic at the weekend and received some fabulous handmade items, they say great minds think alike ~ she made me a book thong! It's fabulous and I love it lots.

Another beautiful gift was these earrings, hand twisted and hammered, they are very me (can't tell you how happy I am with these)! 

I keep telling Nic to open a shop she really is very talented at jewellery making, I own the most beautiful stuff she has made me, at present she only makes for family and friends (lucky me!)

I was also the recipient of these stunning notecards from Paperchase ~ my two favourite things ~ papercuts and Russian Dolls!

Thanks again xxx

Another wonderful parcel arrived this week from the lovely Beki over at BekiMaries ~ we did an additional fabric swap and wow, was I amazed at what arrived.  I have to add that my backup camera died this day and I didn't get any close up's but I was thrilled and delighted with the contents! 

There are a few fabrics in here I would trade one of my kids for (Beki take your pick 4 boys aged 11-16, let me know which one to send lol)

 

Can you see the Russian Doll pin cushion ~ wowzer she's my absolute favourite thing at the minute.

Thanks again lovely xx

I've got so many new fabric options now that I'm itching to start a new project, but I've got so much to finish already ~ in the words of Natalie Imbruglia 'I'm Torn'!

Right I'm off to make a dent in my WIP, new fabric get thee behind me; although I've just received a couple of cute crochet patterns from Pink Poppy that I might have to squeeze in...

I'm feeling a bit stitchy...

I'm still in the process of making my Little Hexie Cushion Tutorial, it is taking longer than I thought; I will have it ready this week though.

I thought I would show you some of my other little makes of late, first up is this little needle case.
After making those little cross stitch kits the other week I got the cross stitch bug and made a little needle case for my lovely friend.

I made it up as I went along using colours she likes and I'm quite pleased with it! It didn't take all that long and it's rather sweet.

These would be nice little gifts for people who stitch, or even people who don't for emergency repairs and such. The aida was scrap from another project as were all of the cottons.

I have also been enjoying playing with my wax and have knocked up some sweet little wax melts and a few more candles.


Check out these sweeties, lemon meringue pie hearts and roses :)

 
and little lemon meringue pie, lemon wedges. They smell divine :) 

On a totally unrelated note I have been asked a few times now about my blog name.  I have to admit I had never thought to mention it before now.
You see many years ago I played MMORPG (to normal people that is online games) and I was trying to find an original charachter name that was not already taken. 
Bearing in mind I was drunk, discussions got onto our favourite kids shows and names we could use from there and Andy Pandy got a mention.  
We somehow went off on a tangent and decided that Andy Pandy had a naughty sister who left the Picnic Basket and got a job as a stripper in Trumpton, we called her Kandy Pandy ~ but changed the y's to i's for added sleaze factor; I have used Kandipandi for years now it just stuck.

Fancy sharing why you chose your blog name ~ go on you can't have a worse reason than me?
