Jeremy

We had some family and friends over last night for our last Knit Club of 2009 (1st rule of Knit Club is you don't talk about Knit Club)! Needless to say not much knitting went on and lots of drinking happened.

I set my sister a challenge and gave her my box full of socks....create a sock creature I said and I gave her some books for inspiration.  Well she took up my challenge with great gusto, scissors and socks flying, and a while later Jeremy was born!!

Can you see him??

There he is!!

He's so diddy!

Anyway, it is with much pleasure that I wish you all a Very Very happy New Year.

Enjoy your last evening of 2009 everyone, woohoo........

Albert's in Holland

Hotdog and Me received a wonderful email from Albert Barkley today, he's has gone to live in Holland!!

He says -

Since a couple of weeks I'm living in Holland with Tessa.
I really like it here and I've made a couple of friends already:
Little Spotty and Maureen, two bunnies made of socks.
Just like me!
And Mister Jummy.
He looks a bit scary, but he is very friendly!

The otherday when I was sniffing around the house, I found some DVD's that I love!
Tessa has a lot of Poirot DVD's!

A couple of days ago, it began snowing in Schiedam.
So Tessa took me and the bunnies out and let us play in the snow.

 

I'm going to sniff out how the DVD player works!

Woof,

Albert

Noonoo And Me

Hotdog and Me are very proud of our mummy, she has started to populate her online shops and she is making some really beautiful items.

I know the name sounds familiar, my fault as she had her shop name first....naughty Hotdog

Anyway, I just wanted to post some pictures of what she has been busy making.  It's quite a lengthy process as she has to find pure wool jumpers and then shrink them down before designing and making her items.

That's just a little selection but pop over to her shop for more.

Thank You Leanne

So we all know now that Leanne from See The Woods made Labra Kadabra the fastest selling sock creature alive, well she sent me a little Thank You for sending her the sock kit to make Labra from.

Look what she sent me!  I was totally shocked when I opened my parcel, I knew she was sending something but I was just expecting a card!

She even made me a sombrero as I told her that I had wanted to have a go at hats for Hotdog and his friends.

Hotdog, of course could not wait to try it on.

So from Hotdog and Me a massive THANK YOU to Leanne.

Children In Need

Hotdog and Me set a challenge to the good folk over on Folksy last week.  We offered the 1st 12 folksians sock kits for free but they had to create a sock creature and they had to donate that to the Crafteroo Children In Need shop.

These kits got snapped up very quickly and the challenge was on.

Not all the creations are finished yet, you can't rush perfection afterall:) but I thought I would do a kind of mid-challenge update as Children In Need is looming ever closer. 

What better way to raise money for such a good cause then to actually buy something!!  It's win win and you could end up with something totally fab for a Christmas present or even yourself!

Still for sale are:

Above we have Austin the Sock Zorse by Pennydog

Professor Babson the Manx Cat by Rara Avis

A Norwegian Lurgle by Widget and Friends

Hartley the Sockosaurus by Grannyruth

Lucy "The Love Stinks" Skunk by Handcrafted

These have been sold

 

Above we have:

Labra Kadabra by See The Woods

Dreads by Helen Jane Designs

Violet by Chiyo

So pop over to the Children in Need shop, support a great charity and show love to all the fantastic sellers on Folksy who have donated items.  Remember the price of everything in the shop is donated to the charity not just a small percentage!!
