Creative space . . . new work and old

I spent the earlier part of this week working on stock for my local Art Gallery shop - I didn't expect to get it finished but I must have got a last minute spurt of energy/drive and it's now all away and hopefully it's being put on the shelves today. It wasn't a formal order as such and I'd just said to the nice girl in the shop that I'd put my 'usual stuff' in - a few each of my 'tweedie' collectables . . .

The teddies and the dinos always seemed to be reasonably popular, but I decided to add a slightly new design, just for my own satisfaction! These 'sleepy' birds did the trick for me, and it was lovely to add something a little different - whether they will agree with that in the shop, I don't know yet! The boys gave me a little advice, which actually made quite a difference to the end result, hence the 'sleepy' birds came into being . . .

They're very tired after their long flight, hehe :)

Just look at this cute pair who were waiting outside the house this morning - they were visiting in our garden last night, so we had to close the gate but they were obviously enjoying eating the grass and decided to stay the night - a bit of Bed and Breakfast, why not, hehe! . . .

Just love the little lamb, with his floppy ears - they're a completly different breed to the usual 'black-faced' Hebridean sheep, but I've no idea what they are, apart from the fact that they look very funny and cute (the wool looks pretty good though, hehe!) . . .

The 'grannies' are a work in progress of course, and this is as far as I've got but I'll continue with it as a chair throw which I hope it'll be (4 squares in width) . . .

Joining in with my 'Creative Space' again today, although my laptop is being a little naughty, or perhaps it's the owner who has been a little naughty and it just needs a good hoovering out - ooops! :)
