Sweet Spool Dollies

I received my spool dolly family in the post the other day and I am so thrilled with them! I can't wait to set up my sewing room and have my little family watch over me as I sew sew sew away.

I must say a great big giant THANKS to Erica Daley for creating my wonderful spool dolly family. It will be a lovely reminder of my family (mum, dad, bro and sis) as I move out of home all over again.

Oh, and that's me in pink and green to the left :)

Cutie Pie Pink Kitty Radio - For Sale! [SOLD]

Edit 13/08/08 - This cutie pie pink kitty radio has found a new and loving home!! Thanks!

Ok well i've only had a handful of votes and of them 6 said go for it, 2 said iffy - but I was thinking last night - what have I got to lose really??

So here is the first of my Blog Sale Items - Pink Kitty Radio/Note Holder!

I bought this kitty in Oslo, Norway. It is actually a little radio disguised as a an uber cute pink pussy cat! I thought she was so cute. I didn't really have any use for her but somehow managed to convince myself (and hubby) that I would use here while in the shower! That lasted about 2 showers as I kept forgetting to turn her on. She then moved into my husbands office for a little bit - I thought he could use her while writing his notes...but a little pink pussy cat doesn't really sit well in a grown mans office....so poor old kitty spent the rest of her days as cute decoration on my bedroom windowsill.

Here are the deets on Cutie Pie Pink Kitty Radio:

• Height - approx 4" toe to top of ears
• Length - approx 4.5" from nose to bottom
• Colour - pretty pink
• Batteries - she needs 2 AA sized batteries (not included)

Other bits and pieces you might want to know about kitty:

• She still works - I just tested her.
• She is approx 2 years old and in great condition
  
• Her pink eye is the on/off switch
• The silver eye is her scan button to scan for radio stations
• Her little silver mouth is the volume dial (and another on off switch)
• The little black cord is like an antennae if needed (also hides away in belly if not required)
• She has a little cut arch in her back where you can stick notes or photos (bonus!)

Men Men Men

I have to admit I am clueless when it comes to gift buying for men. I always go for the default clothes cause I just never know what to do - atleast I know they'll get some use out of it.

But this year for my husbands birthday I thought I might have a little bit of a squiz on etsy to see if there was anything for guys (i know there are heaps of things for us lucky ladies!). I was suprised to find some pretty cool stuff there [click on the image for more details]
