Happy Monday!  The beginning of another week, and I think now, like it or not, we have to admit that Christmas is coming.  41 days!  oo-er!

Have you started the Christmas shopping yet?  I’ve been so busy thinking about having things on my stall for the Pick’n’Mix Makers Market I just haven’t had a thought about actually buying things myself!  I’m sure I’ll find the answer to several pressie dilemmas on the other stalls there. If you want to see just what’s coming up, have a look at this post about the June Market.

So what have I been making this week?  There’s been more of the same with the baubles and the dolly peg dolls, which have already started to sell so I need to keep up,  but the new thing was in response to a remark about the Duck I made for the Auction for Team Hannah (where you can bid for him!)…

…and his jolly heart shaped balloon.

So I’ve made some more.  With spots!

It reminds me of the film Up…

I really love all those cheerful colours.

I would like to put these for sale on Folksy, the problem being the infinite variety, it would take so long to list them.  I’m really not good at churning out masses of things all the same.  I suppose if I listed them by the main colour, people could take pot luck on the spots, I don’t know…. What do you think?

I just think they look so jolly.  Would be fun in a nice shiny green pot plant!

If you like Handmade Monday, go over to see Wendy of 1st Unique Gifts, where lots of other creative people have links to what they’ve been up to.

I must get back to my felting needle, see you soon x

P.S. To those of you who have been missing Higgins, he’s fine and full of mischief as ever.  If you need a little mini dachshund fix, you can find a post he wrote a while ago just here!
