[Bill & Ted]

I did a bit of sewing this afternoon, I will auction it for TEAS guinea pigs with special needs rescue to help with vet bills.

Apparently I was busier than I thought last night (fell asleep at 10am this morning, who needs sleep schedules?)

Here's one for the pigs if anyone fancies a bit of origami!
I made brown paper origami boxes and put some pea flakes inside for a diy boredom breaker! They girls have been nibbling and chucking them about the place and surprisingly they're lasting quite well! (For paper toys anyway)

I used this tutorial if anyone fancies making their own. How to Make an Origami Cube Using 6 Pieces of Paper

That's a great idea! I mean I could just see Blitzen giving me the devil eye for doing that like "excuse me, wtf do you think this is, MAKING ME WORK FOR MY FOOD".

That'll be Misty bum

I always say she looks like she's wearing a nappy, Dennis has the white nappy bum too!

I say that Dennis is wearing white trousers! It was more obvious when he was a baby.

I watercoloured Patrick today, when I painted Mary I said I was going to do all the pigs but months have passed and I never get around to it. So now I’m in stuck home I thought I’d continue today

@Hannah_xx that is fabulous!

 

[Little fluffballs]

Well done!Your paintings are amazing!

And my gorgeous one arrived earlier that I won in the auction, or should I say two because @Bill & Ted is such a lovely friend that two were in the package! Made me cry, they’re gorgeous!

A certain chunky hunk has picked his favourite already after cage clean, likes being colour coordinated does my Gigi

Thanks so much @Bill & Ted xx

 

[teddymouse]

Love the fabric. (And gigi)x

 

[alpacasqueak]

I do too, really pretty!
Thanks, Luigi’s a naughty, cheeky troublemaker that wrecks the place and makes lots of noise but I’m totally smitten x

That is very neat knitting for a newbie. Did you cast on by yourself? Are you self taught? It is a tricky skill to master. You are doing well.

Am I really gosh I’m blushing!
Yes I cast on myself I watched a YouTube video to show me. I faintly remember my sweet nana teaching me to knit when I was very young but I had forgotten it all.
For my first row I really struggled I think I cast them on too tight? And I’m scared of dropping a stitch I don’t know how to fix that..

 

[alpacasqueak]

Looks lovely @Spoink! I used to love knitting, just can’t cast on or off! My Nan used to teach me and my sister years ago but never got the hang of that and not too great with my coordination these days! Sure it’ll be great!

The first row is always a bit tight. Once you've mastered the basic stitch (when you have finished what you are knitting you will have mastered it) then you need to master the purl stitch. Good luck! If we lived closer, I would teach you. I used to run a knitting club at a school where I used to live and I've not failed yet. I would relish the challenge of teaching a partially sighted person how to knit.
